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.
