From the introduction: [I]t is the near future and we have discovered an incredible fact about our existence: like a dragonfly nymph what we think of as dying is in fact transformation. When we "die", our material bodies stop operating in this universe but our consciousness lives on in another universe. We do not and perhaps cannot understand this other world but it is possible, when we are quiet and still, for our subconscious minds to reach across the barrier and communicate between these two realities – albeit in a limited form: through our dreams.
