That dream was fraught With a wild and waking thought Of beings that have been Which my spirit hath not seen. A Mystery and a Dream.

Life presents us with things and situations that are difficult to explain. We don’t always understand or believe what our eyes show our conscious mind, and yet the imagery and stories our mind’s eye shows our subconscious often seem real. The lines are blurred. What is true and what is imagined? A mystery and a dream.

This catalog is the document of a 2015 juried photography exhibition at Gallery 136½ in Connecticut images that address the topics of mysteries and dreams, inspired perhaps by the writings of Edgar Allan Poe.
