From the Author: I used to think that I was the only one living in a Dream Castle, but now I am sure that is not true. So, I decided to share my thoughts. I pray this book reaches the hearts and minds of those who can identify with these words. I was a young woman with a vivid imagination, always thinking about the man of my dreams. I was so preoccupied with dreaming that I did not know the difference between dreams and reality. There was a list of qualities and characteristics this man of my dreams displayed and I expected every man I dated to possess those qualities. When they didn't, I was crushed, disillusioned, depressed and dismayed. My reality was a dream that I expected each of them to live up to. Even though I was headed for self destruction, I continued this way for years. I began each relation-ship believing that I had met the man of my dreams. It's sad that I was so nave and trusting of men I didn't take the time to know. I attached the qualities of Mr. Right to him and trusted him to be that way. It was unrealistic to expect every man to be Mr. Right, especially since they had no idea who this dream man was. After years of depression and low self-esteem, I stopped. I realized that I had not been successful in finding Mr. Right at all, and I was living in a Dream Castle. So I took some time out for self-examination and Jesus met me there. He spent many days and nights in the Dream Castle with me unveiling the truth about me, my relationships, and my sin. Then, He moved me out of the Dream Castle into the Mansion of His Love. After resting there a while, I was equipped with the truth and power which enabled me to develop fulfilling and realistic relationships. This book isactually a journal of my thoughts as I went through this process of change. It is a collection of poems, letters, essays and prayers with a central plot. As you read, I hope that you experience the change. I am praying that these words will encourage you to move out of your Dream Castle also. So I invite you to sit down, read, reflect and pray.
