John Lennon : I´m Only Sleeping
By C.A.Burton
This is the book description from Amazon:
What if John Lennon still had something to say?
After completing the Monroe Institute® Gateway Experience, author C.A. Burton awakened one night with three unexpected words in his mind:“Write about me.”
What followed was an extraordinary journey through memory, music, loss, love, fame, fatherhood, and the complicated life of John Lennon: I’m Only Sleeping is not a traditional biography.
Told through an intimate first-person narrative, John revisits his life outside the boundaries of ordinary time. Liverpool, Hamburg, Beatlemania, marriage, separation, reconciliation, and the quiet years of fatherhood arrive not as a tidy timeline, but as memories do—alive, emotional, contradictory, and connected by music.
Along the way, John confronts the people who shaped him: Julia, Mimi, Cynthia, Julian, Paul, George, Ringo, Brian, Yoko, and Sean. He reflects on the wounds he carried, the mistakes he made, the love he struggled to express, and the man hidden beneath the legend.
At his side is Chris, the writer asked to listen, challenge, question, and occasionally argue back.
Their conversations move between humor and heartbreak, certainty and doubt, the mystical and the deeply human. Was this imagination, inspiration, spiritual guidance—or something more?
Perhaps the answer is not the most important part.
Perhaps what matters is the conversation.
For readers fascinated by John Lennon, the Beatles, creativity, consciousness, and the possibility that our stories continue beyond the lives we remember, I’m Only Sleeping offers a daring and deeply personal encounter with the man behind the music.
The dream may have ended. The conversation did not.
