The man named Randolph Carter plays an intricate role throughout the entire Dream Cycle. He appears in The Statement of Randolph Carter, The Silver Key, and Through the Gates of the Silver Key. As well as the immense tale The Dream Quest of the Unknown Kadath. This tale is a detailed visualization of a good portion of the dreamland that Lovecraft has created in his stories.

Randolph Carter goes on incredible quests all over the dreamland. And eventually the full truth of his identity was revealed in Through the Gates of the Silver Key.

Which of these stories did you enjoy to read the most? Why do you believe Lovecraft continuously used Randolph Carter in these most important journeys of The Dream Cycle?
