29 Burleson identiies the irst of these themes as
denied primacy
, or a sense that
humans are completely insigniicant in the universe. A second theme, of
forbidden
knowledge
, reveals that there are some forms of knowledge “only by the avoidance
or suppression of which can humankind maintain a semblance of well-being.”
Another theme,
illusory surface appearances
, means that things in the world are
not as they seem. Burleson identiies
unwholesome survival
as a fourth theme of
Lovecrat, where some things outlive their rightful existence. Finally, the theme
of
oneiric objectivism
, where “there is at best an ambiguous distinction between
dreaming and reality,” is a predominant aspect of Lovecrat's work. See, Donald
R. Burleson, “On Lovecrat's hemes: Touching the Glass,” in
