Wake Me, I Am Dreaming is a collection of over 80 brand new, never before published poems about life and self-discovery. It is a journey from whimsical imagination to the wilderness of vulnerability to the connectedness of energy and purpose. Drawing from the inspiration of nature, yoga philosophy, and the wisdom of the soul, the poems in this collection represent an inner tension between a state of dreaming and waking, between what is an illusion and what is real. A modern take on one of life's biggest questions, "Why are we here?", it is a journey of poetic meditation to self-awareness, acceptance and purpose. Wake Me, I Am Dreaming was written for wanderers, dreamers, trailblazers, lightworkers, truth seekers, yoga students and yoga teachers, nature lovers, and anyone on a quest for self-discovery or spirituality - finding purpose and believing in something bigger than yourself. This book of poems will be a beautiful inspirational gift for yourself or a friend. "It's time to decide, which mountains you'll climb. For settling in the valley, lies the enemy of change." This book is divided into sections, each dedicated to a different element which we may encounter on the journey to connection with the true Self. Some of these elements are rooted in nature: the trees, the ocean, the wind and flowers. Others draw from more abstract or unseen forces: the ether, time, the third eye (our intuition). All of them have great wisdom and inspiration to offer. The sections are placed carefully in an order meant to evoke the sensation of moving along a path from dreaming to waking. However, each poem stands beautifully on its own and the reader is invited to travel the contents of this book in whatever way resonates most.
