Book of Dreams - a memoir

This page will be updated as each new chapter is posted...

The Book Of Dreams began as a simple journal of dreams. Suzanne gave to me a magical leather-bound book with fabulous handmade paper pages as a gift and I started to fill it up with my most memorable dream stories. Intrigued by how these stories related to my waking life, I began studying dreams, dream theory, and what others had discovered about the meaning and usefulness of dreams.
These pages contain more than a recounting of dreams. For them to make sense, I explain where certain images, impressions and actions come from. This is why I have called the book a "memoir."

What I confirmed while writing this book is the fertile space inside my imagination, my "mindspace." It is not only a fabulous stage on which I can test ideas for plays and stories, but for discovering ways of being, avenues of courage.

I also discovered that most of the major moments of my life were chronicled, sometimes before they occurred. Not the "where" and "when" and "how," but the "why" and "what if not."

Please drop me a line after reading these dreams and let me now what you think. Share dreams of your own. It will take a while for me to rewrite into PDF files everything I scribbled into my precious leather-bound journal, mainly because I am concentrating on music projects. Your input will undoubtedly make the finished product much better.
