What if anything can be made to happen in a dream? | Vanya Eide | TEDxGöteborg

This guest speaker from the audience accepted the challenge of getting on the TEDx-stage, only to deliver a moving speech about a childhood in South Africa where random acts of violence were a part of everyday life; a threat that also occupied her dreams. But this isn’t an account of a series of events, but a story about overcoming what haunts you. About the power of imagination. About how a little girl managed to conquer the Bogeyman, because no one was there to tell her she couldn’t.

Vanya Eide is Swedish/Norwegian store manager and board member of the Gothenburg Toastmasters.
