Dream Guard Shift

Author's name: Hossam El Sayed

Dream Guard: Director Federico Fellini likens going to the movies to a magical return to the womb, willingly returning to a meditative darkness, waiting from moment to moment for life to happen.

This book values ​​the act of returning to the womb, and the self's recovery of what happened to it from the beginning, of what was from its past, through cinema, which for the author does not represent a mere invitation to magic, but rather sees it as a braid interwoven within its folds cinematic imagination, realistic memories, and some dreams.

The writer narrates personal stories, carried on the wings of metaphors and cinematic stories, through the medium of dreams, which guarantees a freedom to recall things that memory—with its limitations—does not make possible, nor does lies with their endless strings. And between truth and lies, we recall Fellini's favorite saying: "Nothing is more truthful than dreams."
