She envisioned herself being shot at, tortured and scalped, surrounded by Nazis in disguise, and breathlessly fleeing across fields with storm troopers at her heels. Shaken by these nightmares and banned as a Jew from working, she began secretly collecting dreams from her friends and neighbours, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Disguising these 'diaries of the night' in code and concealing them in the spines of books from her extensive library, she smuggled them out of the country one by one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable again for the first time since its publication in the 1960s, this sensational book brings together this uniquely powerful dream record, offering a visceral understanding of how terror is internalised and how propaganda colonises the imagination. After Beradt herself fled Germany for New York, she collected these dream accounts and began to trace the common symbols and themes that appeared in the collective unconscious of a traumatised nation. The fear of dictatorship was ever-present. Dreams of thought control, even the prohibition of dreaming itself, bore witness to the collapse of outer and inner worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow in a haunting new translation by Damion Searls and with an incisive foreword by Dunya Mikhail, \u003ci\u003eThe Third Reich of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e provides a raw, unfiltered, and prophetic look inside the experience of living through Hitler's terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851498475756,"sku":"9780691243511","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/36ba12966d3db97d11fdfb140915143a.jpg?v=1759107890"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/charlotte-beradt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
