For many years,  Phyllis’s sons could not remember the last time they saw their mother smile.  Most of the time she looked pained and miserable. Presented with the prospect of dreamscaping, they realized they could reimagine their mother at her favorite writing desk, with “Klumpy” in her lap (a bear who stars in a radio play she wrote in college). Of the dreamscaping process, son Mark says, “How we got to the Dreamscape didn’t feel fabricated. It brings out a type of magic realism, blurring the difference between past and present so that you get all these fantastical things that aren’t normally there. After loss, there’s a certain amount of grief we all have, and I believe the Dreamscape desensitizes it.”
