Description
From 1995 to 2011 the strip was a collective dream diary authored by people from around the world. Readers would submit their dreams to the artist and were credited as authors of the resulting cartoon. Reklaw illustrated each dream in four panels, paring down the dreamer's commentary to a few sentences. Reklaw has said he likes dreams because they have "their own logic and a natural Dada-like humor." The strip's name refers to the EEG rhythms of REM sleep.
Collections
The anthology Dreamtoons collects 109 episodes from the first five years of the strip. Dreamtoons. Shambhala Press, 2000. The Night Of Your Life. Dark Horse Press 2008.
