I would go to bed every night and have dreams about having a time machine and somehow I'd have the ability to move through time and space freely and save Anne Frank.

In the fifties I had dreams about touching a naked woman and she would turn to bronze or the dream about hot dogs chasing donuts through the Lincoln Tunnel.

I would love to spend all my time writing to you I'd love to share with you all that goes through my mind all that weighs on my heart all that gives air to my soul phantoms of art dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true.

I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.

A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say 'Look it's not that tough. It's not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.'

The usual channels of university studies or secretarial work did not appeal to me. I cherished difficult dreams through confidence in myself.

When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.

As a young man you don't notice at all that you were after all badly affected. For years afterwards at least ten years I kept getting these dreams in which I had to crawl through ruined houses along passages I could hardly get through.

Through hard work perseverance and a faith in God you can live your dreams.

Not all lucid dreams are useful but they all have a sense of wonder about them. If you must sleep through a third of your life why should you sleep through your dreams too?
