Never tangle with a Scharfrichter!” ~Violet Parker

Unconscious Escapades


Book Description

What if we could travel in time and space as we do in the air? Are the deepest seas in the same degree close as the stars from the far corners of the universe? Are we truly as primitive as we are led to believe? So many questions remain unanswered while we struggle with our existence. We covet the great conquerors and leaders throughout history. We cry as we see our credit card balances increase and savings accounts decrease. We fantasize over great vacations or living in a wonderful mansion and question the line between reality and fiction. Fortunately, the answers to so many of our questions are not as far from us as we might believe. Our distant ancestors might not be in the role of untouchable, as we once believed. Each night we casually lay down to rest from our daily struggles and mysteriously venture into another dimension that is as real during its control over our mind and body as our lives in the material world. The power of dreams takes us into other worlds and ages, where all our songs are hits, and we win our battles. Even though we do not win all our battles, we still come out victorious. What was false may now be true, and the stars are in our back yard. Love obeys its own rules as the wicked and hateful fall down before us. These worlds of worlds where kings follow our commands remain as great a mystery today as it was for those who walked among the Earth millennium earlier. We preserve our sanity by disregarding this special world, maintaining that it is not real. Is it real or fantasy? Even though our adventures erase from our minds quickly after we awaken, the fact that we were there cannot be denied. Discover what happens when this solid line begins to vanish.
