A Dream Occurs...

This organization was born of a dream. I'm not one to remember my dreams, but I remembered this one! In my dream, I was in a room surrounded by people I didn't know – some in beds who were very sick, some standing off in a corner and some closer – all communicating at various levels of confusion or clarity. In the center of the room was a small box that played Christian hymns. Each person in the room had a reaction; some were calmed and had their anxiety relieved, others began to draw closer and sing along.

As I remembered the dream, I began to wonder how it could come to fruition – would it be possible that a small music box could provide peace and welcome memories to those who needed it? I knew I could manage a project, so I sought guidance from my Pastor, family and trusted friends. We made a prototype and tried it out with some local residents suffering from dementia. And sure enough, just as in my dream, these people became less agitated and some began singing along with the music.
