At the beginning of The Edge of Dreaming, filmmaker Amy Hardie acknowledges that her life seems perfect: she has three wonderful children, a loving husband, and a menagerie of animals all living in a beautiful country home in Scotland. After she has an apparently prophetic dream the night her beloved horse dies, she hauntingly records the horse’s burial. Soon she has another vivid dream, in which the deceased father of her first child warns her of her impending death at the age of 48. As a science documentarian, she decides to investigate the validity of clairvoyant dreaming in part to assuage her fears about her own demise. She interviews a number of renowned researchers who have worked with brain signals and their overall physiological significance. As the film progresses, however, it becomes more metaphysical. Through increasingly personal encounters and an embrace of alternate ways of seeing the world, such as Shamanism, Amy confronts her own mortality with visual poetry and a sense of humor and increasing wisdom.  AM
