This is a polished gem of a story by Arthur Schnitzler, the basis for the film Eyes Wide Shut, that investigates marital relations and the temptations that imperil them. Dreams and reality are blurred to such an extent that by the end of the story the reader is left wondering whether the dreams recounted by the wife were actually dreams within the main dream of the husband. Look too far into the mind, Dream Story would seem to be saying, and you risk everything.
