b'Over 200,000 books on Amazon have "dream" in the title.\\xa0 And there is something about dreams that have always captivated the mind.\\xa0 How many times do we read about athletes, artists, lovers, and the person on street talk about how their dreams have come true?\\xa0 We "live the dream;" and at times, it all feels like a dream.\\xa0 The dream permeates culture from music (e.g., the Dream Weaver, Dream On) and movies (e.g., Inception), to car commercials (Honda Civic) and virtually everything else.\\xa0 Unfortunately, most of our lives are spent in a culture that marginalizes the dream; we are limited mortal creatures; machines destined to rust away and die.\\xa0 Dreams are fantasies.\\xa0 Do not bother.\\xa0 But this week\'s guest, Brent Feinberg, has an idea.\\xa0 In this new book, Freeing Freddie - The Dream Weaver, he weaves a simple tale for kids of all ages. The story is simple: start believing in the dream when young, and never give up the quest.
