I wrote out a more detailed review but the window disappeared, so in short --
- Nice collection, varied takes on what constitutes dreaminess with it sometimes arguably not reaching that.
- Poetic and hard to interpret, be ready to either push yourself creatively / read analyses or simply enjoy aesthetic vibes.
- Old writing style means likely kanji and words learners might not have come across yet, but if you smooth it out with something like Soseki Project, the writing style really isn't hard.

Various scenes and very short
Probably suitable for read-aloud as well, as ten stories are very short and disjointed.
I listened to this read-aloud -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVJnRRiaBSA
Dream-like and probably without answer. Some background knowledge might be helpful.
