Dave Speaks

Following Cerebus #3

Dave: "No, I definitely didn't intend for dreams to play a large part in the Cerebus storyline and yes, Barry's "Cerebus Dreams" story triggered the resulting onslaught of dream content. When it came in I thought it was a great idea and particularly well suited to what it was I was trying to do: an actual life. A good third of all actual lives are spent dreaming so it was really impossible to over-emphasize the presence of dreams unless I did over 100 issues of them.

The dreams in the Cerebus storyline don't have any common thematic link unless it's something really vague like Cerebus' mostly unconscious certainty that he is intended to fulfill some Large Destiny or other and his, again, mostly unconscious awareness of all the things that get in the way of that."
