History
First publication: Weird Tales, March 1927
Review
Dreaming is irresponsible - this seems to be the moral of this story. By spending too much time in a dream world, the lighthouse keeper neglects his duties and a ship crashes on the rocks. Or maybe the characters dreams just go toward nightmare. Either way the story has some powerful ideas of a dreamland, but only to say that dreaming leads one astray.
