the writing reminds me of the intro to twilight zone." Journey into another dimension unlocked by the imagination, It is a realm beyond the ordinary...."

I was fairly a fanatic about The Twilight Zone in my younger years, including not just watching reruns of the original series but reading the paperback short story anthologies adapted from those episodes. Come to think of it, I still am. And I'm also an inveterate fan of great opening narration to fantasy and horror television and radio shows in general, as evidenced in my penchant for quoting the opening and closing narration from the 1980s TV series Tales from the Darkside (see, for example, https://www.livingdark.net/p/the-imaginal-doorway-when-creativity). So that's probably the influence at work. 😊

Well said ! I'm so weary of the absolute certainty of every conceivable panacea posited for the bad dream....( don't eat pizza after 6:PM ). Thanks, Matt ! I look forward to purchasing your book.

Matt, this is so well-worded. Deep resonance and knowing, yes, this is true. Relief that someone is giving a clear and infinitely wise and kind voice to this in modern current contextual language. Thank you! (And, yes, I am always interested in what you read.)
