In this journal, I have recapitulated only my Energy Generating Dreams, or Sorcery Dreams, including my encounters with Scouts, shape-shifting Beings, parallel worlds, close and distant from Earth, and the lessons I received from my experiences. Waking up from an Energy Generating Dream I almost always ask myself, how could I have dreamt this? One cannot possibly invent the scenes in those dreams.

At this precarious moment in our history, we need a renaissance in critical thinking. It can start in the math classroom.

Bianca Bosker plunges deep inside the world of art and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators and, of course, artists themselves—the kind who work multiple jobs and let their paintings sleep soundly in the studio while they wake up covered in cat pee on a friend's couch.
