The zine is based on pictures taken during the author's travels in numerous countries.
“There's a certain pleasure in being lost in the world. Wandering explorers have that tendency to feel a part of everything at once and yet separated by it all. For those of us who have decided not to complete a polished narrative based on the assumptions of the society we live in, we have taken a more astral approach to stitching together something coherent. I always meant to travel the way I felt. I wanted to connect with the spirit of movement, meaning that thing in me that has a desire to see things, to continue to be curious, and to follow it. It is an incoherent, nonlinear version of what it is to be alive.”
The title comes from an exchange in Romeo and Juliet, where Mercutio tells Romeo that dreamers often lie, and Romeo answers: in bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
