The journey we make through dreams is a way of deeping our understanding of our surroundings, our ideas and concepts, our subconscious and also of transcending space and time and getting to the bottom of things, finding ourselves, and therefore God. The transfiguration of reality has much to do with what the world of dreams reveals to us, since it allows us to see a timeless perspective translated into symbols, as so happens in the poetic trance. Establishing a link with surrealists, Machado explores the terrain of the dream with a desire to express the ineffable in the dialogues with God, a dialog made possible through poetry.
