I Am a Dream That Is Dreaming of Me

By Filippo Parodi and David Lynch

Encouraged by the testimonies of David Lynch – myth that overturned and revolutionised my adolescence and didn’t cease accompanying me in the following ages – I started practicing Transcendental Meditation in October 2022. Just before beginning the training course, I remember I was excited, confident, but I really would have never expected that, from the very first days, my life would take new directions, that the path I had entered wouldn’t have given me easy chances to come back to the previous routine. And, I must say, much to my relief. What you are about to read is therefore strongly imbued with the energy, but also with the doubts and the fears, of this fresh, still extraordinary experience which I like to define as “my promising second time” (moreover, being now 46 years old, I can assert that in every meaning!).
