The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. In his dreams, Randolph Carter sees a majestic city, but he is unable to approach it. After the city appears in his dreams, he prays to the gods of dream to reveal the city’s whereabouts. But then the city vanishes from his dreams altogether. Carter resolves to beseech the gods in person at Kadath—on the mountain above which the gods of dream live. The priests in a temple that borders the Dreamlands tell Carter that nobody knows the location of Kadath, and warn him of great danger should he continue with his quest.
