Published by Threshold Books.




Description :


"Awakened Dreams" was written in the early 1900s (Ottoman era) by Ahmet Hilmi--humourist, revolutionary, & Sufi mystic. 'Raji' --a young man disillusioned with life as he knows it--meets a grandfather-like "madman" who lives in a cemetery and wears clothes patched with bits of mirrors.


The 'Mirror Dede', makes more sense than anyone Raji has ever met. Raji' is transformed through a series of awakened dreams. He experiences changes of perception which show to him the limitations of our ordinary human faculties, and he encounters various Prophets and holy beings who reveal to him the secret of his own existence.


Though a story of mythical dimensions, "Awakened Dreams" is not a fantasy but a transcription of the spiritual journey based on Hilmi's own experience.      


   
The Author : Ahmet Hilmi (1865–1914) was born in an area that is now Bulgaria. While still a young man, Himli met the Mirror Dede, a "cosmic doctor" who was living in a local cemetery. Mirror Dede provided inspiration for Hilmi's spiritual transformation. Hilmi went on to become a Sufi teacher and the author of many books.
