I Still Have Dreams

A Life with Schizophrenia

By: A.W.J. Pilgrim

Narrated by: A.W.J. Pilgrim

This is the very personal and frank account of A.W.J. Pilgrim’s battle with schizophrenia, in the context of his whole life story starting in 1971 when he was born, until 2025 at age 54.

He is a Londoner, dad and talented prolific artist painter and author, with books such as The Isley Adventure Chronicles and The History of Art Materials.

Learn how his illness progressed, how he struggled, his personal thoughts about it, detailed accounts of being sectioned, effects of medications, psychosis, hallucinations, and delusions. At the end of his story, he begins a weight loss journey and a more peaceful life out of the city.

The story not all sad—he has had some good luck too, and still has dreams. Learn how he has put his schizophrenia into remission, with many lifestyle changes which he describes. He was a non believer for a time, but this book ends on believe in God, and strength, with a feeling of being close to Jesus although knowing the facts of science.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Honesty

Narration performance by the author. I enjoyed learning about the cockney accent. I contacted the author and he told me about this this accent and the rhyming slang that goes with it. I enjoyed the honesty of the author and telling about his life with schizophrenia.
