    About this ebook

    A visionary Nordic photographer, artist, poet, and digital communications expert, Maria Lehtman, reveals the secrets of old doorways as an illustration of her seven-year journey in self-transformation. The Dreaming Doors is an epic work of contemporary art drawing inspiration from Lehtman's travels in old towns in Europe and Finland during the years 2011-2017. Her peaceful poetic language speaks to everyone through the colorful doorway photographs.

    Lehtman's vision for The Dreaming Books depicts a journey through the soul gateways while expressing our society's transition from the physical to the digital and social ecosystems on a global scale.

    The Dreaming Doors is a special edition featuring a talented artist and painter, and a professional reflexology therapist, Caroline Cunningham, from Ireland. The Dreaming Doors includes selected images of her doorway paintings and poems inspired by travels in India and Peru.

    Cunningham left a teaching career in science and math in pursuit of the 'Authentic Path' through creativity and wellbeing. A study at the Bel Canto School of singing has formed much of Cunningham's creative approach. Cunningham's wellbeing and travel blogs' reached the finals of Ireland Blog Awards in 2015 and 2017.

      The Soul Gateways

      Doors create an illusion of safety, a world of privacy. They are silent guardians of our physical world. I

      have always wondered about the stories they could tell us if we only understood their language.

      In 2014 I was flying back from Athens with my husband when I had the urge to start

      writing down poems for this book. I wanted to manifest our photographic journeys

      through beautiful old towns in mainland Europe and Mediterranean islands.

      At the time I thought I would complete this book with ease. After all, I already had the

      material. Instead, my soul searching lead me to many blocked paths and locked doors. I found myself
