All good things come to an end and this Chapter 6 is our ending to our Narrated YouTube Storybook called, “The Colored Dreams”
I would warmly like to invite those who have not yet peeked or watched an episode, to take some time out and watch them:) Binge-watching the whole series (not a bad idea) would need you to allot about an hour sitting in front of (hopefully) a big screen with good sound….hopefully with popcorn and drinks:)
As these are filmed and sent to YouTube in 4K, they blow up nicely on a large wall LED flatscreen.
We dedicated the whole series to DB Bailey, the Artist/Architect, I have mentioned before, who has been a mentor and a dear friend for more than 13 years. It was his colorful world, he named “Locus” back in 2011 that knocked my socks off and transported me to feeling color, like I had never felt it before. It also inspired me to write the original “The Colored Dreams” Sadly, this sim (virtual world) no longer exists, but this series is now one of the only ways to get a glimpse of the surreal, colors and textures that flowed out of the mind of this virtual viruosos. I, as well as many, would use the word Genius!
You can find all the others on my blog (Chapters 1-5) and I would prefer that you visit my channel on YouTube, watch them there and leave me a like or comment. .. here there or everywhere:) I am a small (tiny) content creator on YouTube but I have been there for more than 13 years.
Here is a simple way to view them all there using a special Playlist called The Colored Dreams.
Just start from the oldest to the newest (top to bottom) Click HERE to go to The Playlist
It will look like this:
Last but not least, a gigantic public thank-you to my creative partner, Dale Innis, who if he would not have accepted the challenge to re- dress this story into his now famous “Slide_Format” (“Klara” 1,2 & 3) so that I could put it up on YouTube…well this project would not be here and we would not be celebrating the completion of the series. Thank you my best of the best virtual creative collaborators!!
Now one little last detail:) These videos are all longish mostly around 10 min and this final episode is almost 15 minutes with credits. Please watch up to credits so you don’t miss any important details. This episode has an Epilogue at the end. I hope you will find the whole story worthwhile of your time and also entertaining and…I hope you find “The Orange Dream-The Last Dream” moving and satisfying as a series end.
I”ll say no more:) Here it is and thank you for watching!!

What a beautiful, shocking, touching, perfect ending to the story this is! I’m even more at a loss for words than usual; the music and narration and pacing and everything supports the story so well. And such a story! Yet again I’m so pleased to have been part of it (even if the AIs seemed to become less useful as we went; not up to such a unique and individual story it seems). Thank you for sharing this, it’s so lovely.

Wow, Karima, I definitely need to let this settle. It has been years since I read the older, written version of The Colored Dreams, and once again the ending shook me and took me by surprise. But what a journey, so full of emotion. Thank you for sharing them with us in this colored world. Hugs!

Hi Joey wow thanks for commenting. Yes this is an alternative ending that I made to let the 6 chapters of the first part, just stand alone. I am so happy you enjoyed it and it was so much fun to do this again in this medium. I think my old SL photos from 2011 still stand up haha. All the 1st pictures, the thumbnails are AI and a few more in each but the majority is from Good ‘ol SL and DB’s incredible world:):)

❤️ i loved it. i am surprised that it brought me to tears. i will have to feel more deeply into that one: it is a primal archetypal theme, the dream lover, that for which we hungrily yearn. the missing acceptance.
yes, the epilog was appropriate & unexpected. ❤️🙏🏼 congratulations, it works powerfully!😘🤗❤️🥰

Ahhh thank you soulkin for your positive relections on this series. I will tell you an “inside” story. When I wrote this story was in 2011. I had gotten into the 5th chapter but I myself did not know really where this was going. The music of Angelo Badalamenti, the waltz you hear, came on my playlist as /i was pondering and all of a sudden…I knew where this story was going…and when I tried to write it, I cried my eyes out, could not see the keyboard, wanted to grab her and hold her…I was so moved by her trust and her surrender and her love. It’s very hard to explain, but at that moment, I wasn’t her writer, I was her friend, someone who really cared…..and the ink flowed and flowed to what it is now. Yes, I too am happy with the epilogue…sweet woman, she had her angel all along. Thank you for your beautiful reflections.🙏🦋🙏

OMG, Karima, this video was particularly dramatic with its vivid orange color, powerful words, and sad ending. What a great collaboration!

Thank you so much Dawn, for watching our series. Interesting, you see it as sad. I don’t see her ending as sad, and I think the Epilogue confirms that it was her triumph at the end. But perhaps it was not the ending some might have envisioned:) I love how people see the same thing and feel very differently about it. Thanks for taking your time out to watch it all 🙏

Ohhh I am so happy to hear that Maggie. Thank you for watching the whole series and I am pleased you found it worthy of your time to do that.

I actually wrote a poem right after I finished this last chapter called ” Dear Karima of The Colored Dreams” I am already missing this project:) 🌹🤗🦋

I love this ending, and it is a surprise as I did not think that the voice would be human (maybe he wasn’t – perhaps he was an angel, as many walk about in our world.) I never suspected that this person who loved her dearly would be using colored therapy to bring her back from where she was. I think God allowed the revisiting of all the places. She was in a coma for two years, as we know, when there was a conversation with two people who loved her about taking away all life support. I have my own feelings about this beautiful story. I had to take my father off of life support even though he was brain-dead after a suicide. I believe we always meet angels on this earth, and we don’t know who they are. I also think that this doctor was an angel and that he fell in love with her. I feel like all the beautiful scenes prepared her for where he knew she would be transitioning, and because she was so compassionate, he wanted her to understand it would be okay. When he unleashed her, I believe she realized that she was now with God and that no sorrow or clothes are needed here. The spirit world was emphasized to me because of the way the scene was done when she finally saw him. Perhaps she was seeing the Dr. aka Angel by her bedside, but either way, this beautiful story was about transitioning to heaven, which I have felt so strongly that it was, and yet there were so many lessons in this story. When we have faith in God, we don’t have to be afraid of dying. We can feel free to look forward if we are sick to feeling pain no longer. I loved the surprise at the end, Karima; what a great movie this would make.
All the beautiful scenes in this entire series are beautiful – there are so many things you have to look closely or you will miss. I hope that people watch this beautiful series by Karima, Dale. it was also dedicated to D B Bailey, and if you have not looked him up, you may want to. He is a very famous and talented man who realized the kind of talent Karima and Dale both had. Thank you all for this long undertaking that taught me lessons about my fear and why it is unwarranted God will always take care of us and be with us. Love and hugs to all of you for your participation in bringing this amazing story to us with such brilliance. Sending so much love and appreciation to you all. Karima I love you very much.

I’m copying this from YouTube, because it was a whoile train of thought…but when we talk next time, we can close this story out:) Hugs dear friend…you have been an amazing friend and audience . I love you Joni!
I found it amazing that you felt almost from the very beginning that she was transitioning from this life to Heaven..You mentioned that almost every episode and I so wanted to tell you, “Yes Yes you are right Joni!!” but of course we had to wait until you saw it all. I am so happy you approved and liked the ending..the twist (which in some ways you werre already aware of) and her relationship with her voice, be it divine or human or a bit of both. I agree that we have angels, people who play or are those roles in our life and he most certainly was a divine hybrid of man and angel (as I made visible by not showing more than a glow on his face at the end.) I am forever grateful for Dale trying and trying again to get the ending scene. right in the Epilogue…as I told you, it was so many wrong ones, not her ot not him and allof a suddem it was them!! Who I imagined she was in her Real Life and him too, a sensitive caring doctor who learned to love her during his Color Therapy sessions. So thank you dear soul for seeing so deeply into my story, for loving, the images, the music, the storytelling and I do agree with you. It would make a magical movie. When we talk again, I will tell you how in some ways this story was prophetic (in a metaphorical way) and that just hearing the music of that waltz, can bring tears to my eyes even today. I don’t cry for her outcome (which was glorious) I cry for her deep trust and love and surrender…May we all have that when our time comes. Love you Joni and thank you again for watching and immersing in my story. You have experienced it in such a profound way. I have loved reading all your perceptions in all the chapters. My love always, Karima

Tears stream after reading this long awaited last chapter, Karima. Like you and I know there are no accidents for timing when our lives finally come to a place we need at the exact right time. A masterpiece worth the long waited time to listen on full screen. Artfully and heart-fully expressed! Timely, soothing with incredible wisdom! And this time comes for us all. The only question remains, will we take the plunge with the support of loved ones or will we push them away. Wild how my dad has been on 4 drugs, morphine being one of them and it didn’t touch the pain. Resistance is our worst enemy. He appears to be on the mend but I wondered then and now, how much must we fight ourselves that pain will not subside if we hold on so tight. Congratulations on a magnificent piece in delivery, imagery, music and to Dale and your other loves that supported this artistic automation or heart!!!
❤️❤️❤️

Ohh Cindy you also made me cry on YouTube (so we’re even:):) and yes I was thinking of what you are living with now, with your father in law I myself at almost 77 (two weeks now:) know that anything “major” that comes up now…will be my ticket to the other side. I too just hope for pain management, but what he has, gallstones (they say) is one of the worst pains. I am so sorry he is going through this, that you all are. Hugs and just be there for him as the loving presence that is you. Thank you again for your enjoyment and your immersion into our project. Hugs you!🤗
