“I'm interested in the parallel narrative of our fantasy lives. How the moment of 'now' that is palpably real, is surrounded by our memories, our dreams and hopes, the stories and connections that our brains make as we navigate a universe of fantasy, or unreality, or surreality. I'm keen to explore this very human experience, how our minds create our own realities, a blend of fact and interpretation of fact.” MindHumansRealMomentsFactsStoriesDreamRealityUniverseMemoriesBrainFantasyConnectionsNarrativeInterpretationOur DreamsHuman ExperienceParallelsOur MemoriesNavigateUnrealityFantasy Life Author:Dave McKean

“The moments that you share with a person do not stop when that person is not in your life anymore. The relationship that I had with my father did not stop when he passed away. An example is me doing the Pacific swim. If I didn't have the father that I had I wouldn't be doing this. We had a close connection in life, and I still carry that connection in following my dream. This is because of my parents, the closeness that we had and what we share together.” IfsPersonsStillsMomentsDreamTogetherFatherParentShareExampleConnectionsFollowingSwimPacificClosenessPassed AwayFollowing My Dreams Author:Benoit Lecomte

“Every American at some point has got to make the connection between their own hopes and dreams and who is elected to office. It's essential.

“There is a stage you reach, Deagle thinks, a time somewhere in early middle age, when your past ceases to be about yourself. Your connection to your former life is like a dream or delirium, and that person who you once were is merely a fond acquaintance, or a beloved character from a storybook.
