"Jade Dreams" is a collection of classic Joseon-era novellas written in various genres of Korean prose and imbued with refined poetry. In dreams and waking life, the deeds of rulers and the fantastic adventures of heroes, love stories and family dramas, the machinations of werewolves and sorcerers—all the things for which we value and love Korean classics—are enacted.

Buddhist philosophy has repeatedly compared the ephemerality of earthly existence to a dream. The foundations of traditional society, class boundaries, and Confucian morality severely limited people's daily lives and their boldest aspirations. Perhaps this is why classical Eastern literature so often explores the theme of sleep as a free land where truth is revealed, where any miracle is possible, where one can live an entire life in a single night and become whatever one desires. And earthly life can prove to be just as beautiful a dream.
