Could anybody recommend any books with a surreal dreamlike tone to it? Or any books about the authors dreams?

Lovecraft. Specifically, Polaris, Nyarlathotep, The Doom That Came to Sarnath, and some others I can't recall at the moment.
>>
>>9462208
If I remember correctly those stories are part of his Dream Cycle series. I've been wanting to read those for a long time now.
>>
>>9462248
Yeah. I haven't read the entire cycle, but I recall particularly enjoying Polaris. They all have the idea that there's some other realm that can be accessed through dreams. And in Polaris at least, he ends up wondering which life is truly the dream.

Dude... read the tyrant by Michael Cisco. Bad in parts but the absolute best surreal dreamlike wrting in others. He had another one called member which was slightly less good, but still very indicative of the meaning of the dream state.

In all honest, Pynchon feels very surreal
>>
Naked Lunch fits the bills. A bit too well maybe, that shit was unreadable.
>>
>>9462187
Invitation to a beheading and the lime twig had dreamlike (or nightmarish) feels to them.
>>
>>9462187
The Blind Owl
Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman
The Adventures of Ingenious Alfanhui

>Or any books about the authors dreams?
Dream Notes
La Boutique Obscure:124 Dreams

Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo

American Psycho desu
>>
>>9463626
that was a pretty boring book, famiglia.
>>
>>9462187

Finnegans Wake
This is the entire premise of the book
>>
>>9463632
that's the point.

Eckbert the Blonde. It's like a fairy tale for adults and explores themes of isolation, guilt and delusion. It's hard to tell what's real and what's in the protagonist's mind and dreams.
>>
Rayuela
>>
>>9462187
Lilith by George MacDonald
The Wind-Up Chronicle by Murakami
>>
>>9462187
Romantic poetry and Rilke if you don't already consider him romantic. Pynchon too and of course Kafka
