Dreams from R'lyeh is a collection of poems by Lin Carter.
The book was released in 1975 by Arkham House in an edition of 3,152 copies. It was Carter's only book published by Arkham House. The Sonnet Cycle, "Dreams from R'lyeh", that comprises the first two-thirds of the book, consists of poems inspired by H. P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos. The Sonnet Cycle portion of this volume has also been reprinted in Robert M. Price (ed). The Xothic Legend Cycle: The Complete Mythos Fiction of Lin Carter (Chaosium, 1997).
Unlike Lovecraft's Fungi from Yuggoth, the sonnets of which do not tell a continuous story, Dreams from R'lyeh from start to finish clearly narrates the story of Wilbur Nathaniel Hoag, from his childhood to just before his disappearance in late 1944. Mental (and perhaps physical degeneration) are apparent near the last sonnet.
