La Femme rêvée

This thrilling compilation includes tales of mystery by the finest master of the genre, Wilkie Collins. The inscription is about a protagonist's dream in which a woman haunts. The mystery gets more interesting when dream becomes his reality. "He stops and grows restless on a sudden. We see him writhing on the straw. He throws up both his hands and gasps hysterically for breath. His eyes open suddenly. For a moment they look at nothing, with a vacant glitter in them--then they close again in deeper sleep. Is he dreaming still? Yes; but the dream seems to have taken a new course."
