When reality and dreams are difficult to perceive, it's important to pay attention. The only difference between is the being conscious in one state while in another, you are subconsciously interacting with the universe. When your higher you becomes woke, you ask yourself – if you remember the details– which is which. Have you ever felt you've lived a moment that's presenting itself again? When you realize, do you pause to prevent what happened in the dream or prevent what may not have been? It's an asked question since forever. The question also was asked by James Porter, a historian, scholar, and award-winning author of Falling Asleep with Dreams and Connected at the Roots. James had to inquire because he couldn’t believe he was involuntarily forced into one of the vilest, bizarre criminal cases to happen in drought-stricken Bay Area. All because he penned life into stories swept underneath the lumpy rug of American history. He paired with Kwabena Farmer, a detective from the Oakland Police Department Missing Person Unit, who was forced to acknowledge his demons in order to help James. Together, they used clues strategically left by the wicked offender, clues taken from history and pages pulled directly from Connected at the Roots. To work the case, Farmer needs to catch up on James’ work all while using the historian as an ally and a direct source. They go down a spiraling path that awakens truth and exposes America's hypocrisy from its founding creed, the story of Recy Taylor, even the Union’s bargaining agreement with the South using the 14th amendment. While discovering this, they discover more about themselves, and when they do, they learn not everything is what is seems, but everything is presented purposely to hide the truth. Join them while they determine what's real, and what's a dream all while solving an American nightmare. Learn the difference between reality and Deja True.
