Who is this man, the Dreamseller? Every word he spoke was rich in meaning and his pithy sayings motivate many people, including his band of loyal followers. Yet, he is not interested in possessions and is happy to live off the casts-offs of others. He lives in freedom under bridges and underpasses, yet seems to be recognized by people in powerful positions. Who is he?
Even to his mixed band of loyal followers, he is an enigma. The Dreamseller shares his philosophic thoughts freely, yet still encourages people to think for themselves, to free their minds and to not even take his own ideas at face value. To the down heartened and downtrodden, he offers hope. He points out that dreams are vital to life and that their purpose is to give strength in times of difficulty and misunderstanding. To the suicidal, he offers a comma, a pause to rest and reflect again, rather than the finality of a period.
Was he sane or mentally ill? He did little to stop the crazy antics of some of his followers, especially that of Bartholomew and Barnabas; still, even at their most zany, he could calm them and distill out a peaceful and significant teaching that went to every heart in the crowd. Yet, despite his quiet ways, his enemies make life dangerous for him and his followers and he asks them to leave him. Will they abandon their leader whose words are as refreshing to them as a spring rain? Why do his enemies want to stop his message?

philosopher dressed in rumpled clothes, travels the country
gathering followers and delivering lessons to those in
despair. In this uplifting journey, the Dreamseller

heroes who go unrecognized for their deeds: cancer patients

their bodies and minds to support and educate their
children, and teachers who, despite low wages, enhance the
minds of their students. The Dreamseller: The Revolution
reveals that the history of mankind is complex: written
with tears and joy, tranquillity and anxiety, sanity and
madness. Moving, entertaining and inspiring, The
