Narratives about mental resilience in difficult times.

In "Dreamtopia," a book about mental resilience, the author's thoughts "converse" with personal experiences of people regarding how care, resources, understanding of fear, regaining control, narratives about identity, awareness of exclusion, and especially the connection with our dreams, can be means for strengthening oneself, interpersonal relationships, and groups.

The topics addressed in the book concern us timelessly, whenever a crisis places fear at the center of our lives and disrupts the constants and certainties of our daily lives. The goal is to pose questions and provide answers for mental empowerment during periods of individual and collective crises, in "difficult times."

The narratives were all written during the pandemic and quarantine period by people who participated in a large online project aimed at mental resilience.
"Many times I felt fear, in situations more or less serious, but inside me, there was always that brave child who knew that wounds hurt for a while and might leave a scar, but once you take care of them, you can get back on the road for the next adventure."
