A Dreamer

"A dreamer shuts his eyes and watches the shooting of his life movie, foresees its happy ending.
Impossible as it may appear, he seems endowed with the mysterious power to remember his future.
From this unutterable feeling, he draws a fierce faith in himself and his impressive certainty."

Dr Steffano D'Ana
