Dream Of Me: Desire, Trauma, and the Body's Memory

By Timothy Selliah

Dream of Me: A Memoir of Desire, Trauma, and Awareness is a lyrical work of creative nonfiction that explores how longing takes shape in the body, how trauma rewrites desire, and how awareness-though subtle-can interrupt repetition.

Structured around a recurring dream, the book introduces Lust as both presence and force: seductive, efficient, and uncompromising. What begins as fantasy gradually reveals a deeper architecture-one built from memory, shame, and patterns formed before language was available to name them.

With restraint and clarity, Timothy Selliah traces the intersections of sexuality, addiction, and early experience, examining how the body remembers what the mind was not allowed to protect. Rather than offering resolution or cure, Dream of Me stays with the quieter work of recognition: the naming of desire, the recovery of discernment, and the slow emergence of consciousness.

This is an intimate, reflective memoir intended for adult readers interested in psychological insight, trauma-informed storytelling, and literary nonfiction.
