I'm very glad to see that Sarane Alexandrian's seminal essay from 1974, Le surréalisme et le rêve, on the exploration of the dream by Surrealists including essays on Breton, Desnos, Eluard, Crevel, Artaud, Aragon, Soupault, Péret, Vitrac, Prévert, Char, and more is now in print again from Gallimard. Unfortunately it hasn't been translated in English, nor has its predecessor Albert Beguin's 1939 L'Âme romantique et le rêve, covering the German and French Romantics up to the Surrealists, both essential to understanding the role of dreams in the Romantic and Surrealist movements.
With thanks to Dominic Tetrault for his signaling the reprinting of Le surréalisme et le rêve.
