a note from the editor

Gazing

into the ever changing sky we are often unable

to distinguish where one color transitions into the next.

Similarly,

our dreams transition from one to the

next with this exact same intricate gradient, reminding me of both the beauty and the strength that lies within subtlety.

Our

dreams let us float through an ocean of freedom,

allowing us to explore and create in a space where restrictions and laws of physics no longer apply.

Dreams

allow us to weave space, time, ideas and memories

together without the burden of self-doubt or external criticism, expanding our minds and hearts in ways they otherwise would not.

With

no limitations,

I

often wonder if the world we

travel to in our dreams contains more truth than the world we find ourselves in during our waking lives.

Therefore, I

always pay close attention to the messages

my dream self is trying to show me.

Only

taking with us glimpses of these messages into

the present, we must consider these dream fragments precious gems meant to inspire and transform us with their whimsy and infinite possibilites.

Continue

to dream after you wake.

Malorie Shmyr,

editor
