The book explores themes of suffering, sacrifice, and the deep insights gained from hardships, beginning with a profound dream that delves into the relationship between humanity and divinity, illustrated through striking imagery and mythic characters. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces a vivid dream that he experienced twenty-five years prior, where he finds himself in an ancient city at midnight. The dream features two heroic figures, representatives of mankind and God, engaged in a poignant dispute that symbolizes the eternal conflict between faith and doubt. As the dream unfolds, the atmosphere descends into chaos, reflecting the turmoil of the human experience, culminating in a desperate effort to flee from a city engulfed in strife. The dream sets the tone for the subsequent stories within the collection, suggesting an exploration of how visions and dreams influence both individual lives and the broader human condition.
