Worlds Beyond (the book)

“Worlds Beyond” questions the concept of “reality”. It opens a door to worlds known to one protagonist only, at one moment only. These parallel realities are off-limits to anyone else, or even to the protagonist when the moment is over. There is no way back and nobody can control the door to these visions created by the brain when it loses control. This can happen during a dream or it can be induced by a psychiatric disorder.

These images are a tribute to the creativity of the brain, rooted in our deepest fears or wildest aspirations, as a result of any possible cause (pathological or not)
