Synopsis

The Late Night Show Every night after we go to sleep we become the star of a major motion picture. Scene by scene we are literally drawn into a drama that surpasses any movie. In this movie, we're the star. But unlike any other movie our whole mind, body and imagination is involved in such a way that our brain is convinced that it's actually happening to us. No matter how bizarre the situation or the images, and when we wake up we may find ourselves still sweating from the fright, or still trying to escape some unknown entity that has been chasing us. We may find ourselves still haunted by the images or feelings for years, or in some cases, the rest of our life. So why not look at the dream as it is- a movie. And in doing so, we can use the same techniques that actors use to understand the characters they play in solving our own dilemmas with our starring roles, "by Acting Your Dreams."

About this title

About the Author:

Ben Tousey had his theatrical debut in the third grade where he played a snowman in his school play. Since that supporting role Ben has gone on to play some serious characters with heavy-hitters in the theatrical community. He has worked with Grant Good eve from Eight is Enough, and Northern Exposure and Barry McGuire form the Broadway Musical "Hair" and the hit song "Eve of Destruction." The one thing Ben loved more than acting was writing. He has written and directed quite extensively. His most successful directorial project was a highly successful musical adaptation of C. S. Lewis' "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" which played to sold out audiences. Ben's dreaming life has always been very active. Some dreams were so incredible that Ben had to understand them, so he studied Carl Jung, Anne Faraday, Gayle Delaney, Jeremy Taylor and others to get some insight into his own nocturnal dramas. Later, he studied and received his certification as an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Practitioner) under Rich Anrich. It was only natural, as he continued to write, act and dream that he would eventually combine these techniques to create this groundbreaking approach to understanding dreams.
