“Volcano Dreams” is a poetic and visual descent into a dreaming world – one shaped not by order and reason, but by heat, pressure and the slow rituals of transformation. Here, the volcano is not merely a landscape, but a dreaming force: an ancient intelligence that thinks in magma, speaks in minerals and reshapes reality from beneath.

Its dream is not passive. It generates time, weather, memory – and us. Within its sleep, we are formed – as mineral, as breath, as fleeting geometries drawn in ash. The dream doesn’t simply alter the world we live in, it alters the very fabric of what we are. To enter this book is to enter that dream.

Composed like a slow, eruptive film, the book advances through frames of mythopoetic prose, found images, layered collages and hand-drawn tremors, each a timestamp in a dreaming sequence. These are not illustrations but pulses of an alternate reality system, one where matter is sentient, language is volcanic and time spirals rather than flows.

“Volcano Dreams” invites us to abandon the logic of control and step into a different metaphysical atmosphere where perception melts, forms ferment and everything is always on the verge of becoming something else. It asks not what we see, but how we dream of the world.
