Review
A really incredible title and a rare entirely science fictional story from Lovecraft. It is very short and only gives you a glimpse of beings that live in a dreamstate and move among the stars. The story is very imaginative. While I normally applaud authors who refrain from explaining and describing everything that is going on, leaving a great mystery, in this case I wish there were a bit more to it. Still a very good story.
