«Modos del dormido, modos del que despierta» is an essay by writer Henri Michaux, published by Ediciones Felmar in paperback (194 pages, in Spanish).
The book explores consciousness during sleep and waking: the feeling of having no age, the eternal present of dreaming, and the contrast between the nocturnal self and the diurnal self. Michaux turns this experience into a personal reflection on identity and the perception of time.
The work belongs to the La Fontana Literaria collection (no. 23), with translation and prologue by José Lasaga. Publication year: 1974. ISBN 8437900077.
For readers interested in introspective literature, dreams, and states of consciousness.
Henri Michaux was a Belgian-born French experimental poet, writer and painter. Michaux is renowned for his strange, highly original poetry and prose, and also for his art: the Paris Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York had shows of his work in 1978. His autobiographical texts that chronicle his psychedelic experiments with LSD and mescaline include Miserable Miracle and The Major Ordeals of the Mind and the Countless Minor Ones. He is recognised for his idiosyncratic travelogues and books of art criticism. Michaux is also known for his stories about Plume – "a peaceable man" – one of the most unenterprising heroes in literature, a character subject to many misfortunes.
