StarDreaming

A dynamic, fateful relationship between a mystical therapist and a renowned Australian science fiction author is revealed through the author’s uniquely insightful Letters.

During the years 1994-'97, depth psychotherapist Maureen B. Roberts experienced a series of fatefully impactful Dreams. The first involved Formula One racing legend Ayrton Senna, while the final Dreams featured Princess Diana. In July 1994, another powerful, precognitive Dream foreshadowed Maureen’s relationship with prominent Australian science fiction author Damien Broderick (who coined the term virtual reality). While they spent relatively little time together, for almost two years they corresponded regularly. These letters from the author, which amount to a colourful banquet of scholarly, anecdotal, personal, and psychospiritual reflections, shed light on how this unusual relationship became a challenging, mutually educational, yet eventually conflicted ‘dance of orbiting twin stars’ - one of the key images in the Dream. This uniquely intriguing book should appeal to lovers and students of science fiction, depth psychology, soul healing, transformational spiritual experiences, dreamwork, and philosophy (as the ‘love of wisdom’).
