Roundabout the Dream Spheres
Dreamtext of the planet Avay
The first published, produced - and then reproduced! - work by writer and explorer Iva Zera. That is to say, this text was reproduced before any of Zera's other works were themselves even first published, let alone produced.
Born of the dream-focused planet planet Avay, Iva has - like many of that world - roamed worlds galore without ever leaving home. Unlike others, he approached discovery and invention with such an equal zest that the verve of his loves could be neither denied, distinguished, nor extinguished. 'Roundabout the Dream Spheres'' chronicles the author's first extended - and more improbable than most - series of journeys through possible dream spheres, a series which he continued for an incredible seventy seven nights (plus seven days besides).
We are sure there was once an extended coda chapter which captured the night of Zera's re-entry into an awake state and subsequent entry into an awakened stated, but this was composed on the 78th night of the total journey and amidst all the hullabaloo the precious record disappeared.
