The Edge of Dreaming by Amy Hardie

A trailer of The Edge of Dreaming by Amy Hardie.

This is the story of a rational, sceptical woman, a mother and wife, who does not remember her dreams. Except once, when she dreamt her horse was dying. She woke so scared she went outside in the night. She found him dead. The next dream told her she would die herself, when she was 48.

The Edge of Dreaming charts every step of that year. The film explores life and death in the context of a warm and loving family, whose happiness is increasingly threatened as the dream seems to be proving true. From the kids reaction to their horses' death (they taught the dog a new trick - called 'dead dog'), the film mixes humour, science and married life as Amy attempts to understand what is happening to her.

Everyone wrestles with the concept of their own mortality, but few so directly explore and confront the subject. When Amy fell seriously ill, as her dream predicted, she went on a search to change that dream, leading her to eminent neuroscientist Mark Solms, and to new understanding of the complexity of our brains. The final confrontation takes us back into her dream with the help of a shaman, revealing a surprising twist to the tale.

Superb documentary. I loved it. So artistic.

I have been told that it says in Memory of Ann Hardie and not Amy. Ann is Amy's mother.

Honestly I have no idea, sukibumstead. I have the same quastion.

I think you have to ask Amy Hardie herself, eventually she made this movie and directed it.

@vicksytricksy U can tell your cousin, she has got me out of bed after just watching her film to check on the internet if shes alive. I came on thinking she had died, like she predicted, I was like "she can't be dead, she can't be" Fortunately her dream was wrong and now im freezing topless and running back to bed lol
