The first of the BBC Third Programme’s Inventions for Radio series, The Dreams pairs writer Barry Bermange’s edited interviews of people recounting their dreams with Delia Derbyshire’s electronic sound collage, structured across five movements — running, falling, landscape, underwater, and colour — into an early, pioneering fusion of spoken word and electronic sound design.
