The Edge of Dreaming dvd DVD

This is the story of a rational sceptical woman a mother and wife who does not remember her dreams. Except once when she dreamt her horse was dying. She woke so scared she went outside in the night. She found him dead. The next dream told her she would die herself when she was 48. The Edge of Dreaming charts every step of that year. The film explores life and death in the context of a warm and loving family whose happiness is increasingly threatened as the dream seems to be proving true. From the children's reaction to their horse's death the film mixes humour science... and married life as Amy Hardie attempts to understand what is happening to her. Everyone wrestles with the concept of their own mortality but few so directly explore and confront the subject. When Hardie fell seriously ill as her dream predicted she went on a search to change that dream leading her to eminent neuroscientist Mark Solms and to new understanding of the complexity of our brains. The final confrontation takes us back into her dream with the help of a shaman revealing a surprising twist to the tale. [show more]
