Garth Describes How Dreams of His Father Influenced A SUDDEN LIGHT

November 19, 2014 by TeamEnzo 4 Comments

In a recent television interview with AM Northwest, Garth suggested that there is an intimate link between two of the themes in his new book A Sudden Light: the relationship between fathers and sons and the supernatural.

In this new interview, Garth credits his father with having had an important influence on A Sudden Light and describes that shortly after his father passed away, he visited Garth in a series of lucid dreams:

“He came to me in these dreams and we had long detailed conversations…  and then he went away, he was gone. And we can explain that away with science or we can say that maybe there was something unresolved there that he wanted to complete… I think that there are connections in this world that we try to explain away with science a little bit too conveniently. There are things that are behind the facade and we need to peel back the layers.”

    My Dad passed 5 years ago this May. I have wonderful fun dreams about him, not conversations per second, but we are buddies as I believe we both wished we could have been in life. The first one, about 6 weeks or so after he died, I was in a park and he came over a little hill with some friends. He was smoking. I said “Dad, you gave up smoking 30 years ago!” He said, “well, you know we get to smoke in heaven.” Another cool one last night, too long to tell, except for the memorable punch line “Oh good, you brought minnows!”

      Thanks for sharing, Mike. Have you read A Sudden Light yet? You might like how the theme of father-son relationships and how that ripples through generations is woven into the story.
