Dream with your hands. Dream with heart. Dream with your life.

When I was a freshman in college I came home and turned on the TV in an attempt pass time before going to bed, the following 2 hours captivated me.  HBO was on and I was immersed in some live-action film that was drawn-over, creating a dream-like visual.  The narrative is original and touches on lucid dreams, aka ways to take control of your dreams.  That night I was aware of my dreaming and forced myself to fly --- truly one of the best dreams I have ever had.

I have since been on a quest to find this film.  For months after this night I searched the internet, poring over pages to find what film was on HBO that Wednesday night at 11pm.  Months turned to years and it was only recently that I came across a clue that brought me back to this film.  Watching it tonight I was confounded at the series of events that brought me full circle to this film. 

Like re-reading Hermann Hesse, I revisited this film and found myself experiencing a different set of emotions and reactions.  However the concept of taking ownership of your dreams still resonated.  When the credits started to roll, I was still in a state of awe as I had been nearly a decade ago. 


In the theme of living your dream, I think of my non-profit ECAA.  Two years ago, I dreamed of having a group of people that could drive awareness of esophageal cancer.  Today we have a dedicated group of amazing individuals who are making that a reality.  So much so that we are making Congressional news.  YES --- House Resolution 1343 is now under consideration in Congress.  Call your Rep and make this happen!

Make your dreams a reality.

Stay well.
Do good.
