Dialogues: Imaginary means imaginary

Q. "Who is that person you mentioned in Dialogues? And why such personal questions?"
A. "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but in my book, an imaginary conversation always means just that. Dialogues are partly based on the sum of my life's experience with many persons, but they are conversations that never happened with any one specific person. Dialogues are "deep calling to deep" within me; they are the questions and answers that I seek, and imagine that others seek as well. They might come to me in a dream if I were asleep, yet they come to me intuitively and often unbidden while awake."
