People tell you that real life is not like novels, no matter how great they might be. That's not really true though, is it? Because crazy stuff happens to you all the time, meaningless, but crazy stuff. Like how the taste of your cheap lunch changes when the smell of cleansing agent fills the fast food restaurant. Or how you thought the guy who sits by himself in the park is weird, until you notice he's the only one who feeds the ducks in the winter. Or how sometimes, there's so much you want to say, and then you end up saying nothing. Because everyone around you seems to get along with everyone else. You're the only one who asks the strange questions and notices the weird details about people and things, and no one else cares, and that's why no one understands you. Because you're the main character, and nothing you write about matters. Or maybe the words you scribble down are actually the only thing that matters. Maybe life's just a book after all.

What do a dishonored knight, an overworked store clerk, and a grieving son have in common? The same thing all humans have, dreaming. From the physiological to the mystical, the shared phenomenon of dreaming has had many interpretations since the dawn of humanity. Maybe they are reflections of the past or a vision of the future? An invitation to another world? An escape from one's painful existence? These are the questions that the characters from three different short stories have to face as they contend with their own dreams or nightmares.

In a series of poems, this book brings you along the journey of experiencing trauma and relearning to live afterwards. Through the hardships of grieving someone you will never be again, nightmares without ends and the loss of your sense of self, each chapter approaches different stages of healing. Just as it is in reality, what starts in devastation and destruction might turn into the ground you learn to flourish on.

This collection of poems is a portal to a secret world. A world that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is hidden in the ordinary moments of our daily lives. A world beyond ordinary colours. Can you see it too? All the photos in this book were taken by my friend and street photographer Prateek Soni in and around Vienna. Check out more of his amazing work on Instagram and soon on his website, which I hope he will finally make one day.
