My story is based on a dream I had one cool spring night and the vividly-recalled visions that followed. In my dream, I found myself stranded on a deserted island and giving up all hope. In the midst of resigning myself to an inevitable, untimely end, my subconscious mind called out loudly into the depths of the universe and, to my shock, it answered back! This desperate moment became the beginning of a series of adventures that would open my eyes and elevate my perspective to heights I could never imagine. The world that I thought I knew so well became clearer and the meaning of life became more meaningful. Answers were revealed to some of my toughest questions including the toughest one of all-a question that each one of us, at some point in life, has asked..."Why am I here?"
