When you dream, everything feels very real yet surreal; your surroundings seamlessly change from one place to the next, people’s faces appear in unfamiliar places, and all sorts of bizarre things can occur, but to your brain it feels so “real” that you just process it as normal.
Murakami (and this is not a negative trait!) is very good at capturing the feeling of a dream. This book is surrealist, illogical, and somewhat nonsensical to some and I can see how one might lose patience with this writing style, but I largely found it fascinating and greatly enjoyable.
