Lost in a forest at dawn, a man searches for an animal. In the distance, he hears a bray and approaches, engaging in a dialogue with the animal. They meet at the edge of a field and play together. By day’s end, lying in the grass, the animal keeps watch while the man falls asleep, and a voice recites an excerpt from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Can one explain a dream?
