Book Details

Do You Remember Your Dreams?

“A beautiful meditation on loss and remembrance.”

“An evocative journey through dreams that touch the soul.”

Joshua was born in April 1979 and was conceived through a sexual assault. His mother, Kathy, raised him as a single parent in the New York City metro area. Joshua’s brother, Matthew, was 11 years older and primarily resided with his father in New England. This was the extent of their immediate family. Kathy passed away at age 55 in November 2002 from cancer, and Matthew passed away at age 35, only 19 months later in June 2004 from diabetes. Joshua is currently 45 years old and has been documenting dreams of Matthew and their mother for the past two decades.
