Preface

Imagination, fantasy and language are integral parts of human beings. Through imagination, we are able to touch our deepest feelings and yearnings, and get to know ourselves and others better. Fantasy allows us to travel in time and space and explore distant worlds , their dwellers and richness of possibilities. Through language, we can express our identities, desires, and expectations. It is through language, verbal and non-verbal, that we are enabled to connect with our neighbours and learn more about who they are.

João Gama combines these three elements brilliantly in Yoma’s dream. He invites the reader to join him on a journey to another dimension where everything is possible. By
