<p><em>Caravan of Dreams</em> distills the essence of Eastern thought in a feast of stories, sayings, poems and allegories, collected by one of the world’s leading experts in Oriental philosophy. <br />
<br />
Idries Shah builds up a complete picture of a single consciousness, relating mythology to reality, illuminating historical patterns, and presenting philosophical legends in this unique anthology. <br />

Its title is inspired from the couplet written by the Sufi mystic Bahaudin: <br />
<br />
<em>‘Here we are, all of us: in a dream-caravan,<br />
A caravan, but a dream – a dream, but a caravan.<br />
And we know which are the dreams.<br />
Therein lies the hope.’</em> <br />
