Nick Waplington’s *We Live as We Dream* is a 2015 English-language photobook published by Morel Books. Its title, also catalogued in the bilingual form *We Live As We Dream/Wir Leben Wie Wir*, establishes a relation between private aspiration and the lived world, while the available record leaves the book’s specific subject open rather than assigning it a theme that cannot be verified.

That restraint is important. With no supplied synopsis, the book is best approached first as a work whose meaning is carried by Waplington’s photographic authorship, its sequence, and the encounter between image and title. The absence of a prescribed narrative invites close looking: attention to recurring situations, changes of mood, and the ways photographs may accumulate significance across the book rather than functioning as isolated illustrations.

For a serious collector, the book merits attention as a clearly identified Waplington publication from the mid-2010s, issued by Morel Books in paperback. The bilingual catalogue title adds a further interpretive register without establishing a separate edition or making unsupported claims about the book’s production history. Its value as a collection object lies in the opportunity to study how a photographer’s sequence and framing can shape an open-ended proposition about dreaming and living, with the physical book—not an asserted rarity or market status—as the proper site of attention.
