About this listen

Caravan of Dreams distills the essence of Eastern thought in a feast of Sufi stories, sayings, poems, and allegories collected by one of the world's leading experts in Oriental philosophy and Sufism. Idries Shah builds up a complete picture of a single consciousness, relating Eastern mythology to reality, illuminating historical patterns, and presenting philosophical legends in this unique anthology.

Its title is inspired by the couplet written by the Sufi mystic Bahaudin:

Here we are, all of us: in a dream-caravan, A caravan, but a dream - a dream, but a caravan.

And we know which are the dreams.

Therein lies the hope.

Especially with these stories so various. You imagine yourself as part of a caravan paused for the night round a camp fire you’re gathered around the dreams blending with the night

I love being read to
