Ever since my I became mostly bedbound with ME/CFS I lost the ability to run in my dreams (and in real life). I would maybe start the run inside my dream, but immediately remember that I’m sick and that it’s not something my body can do. I would then fall down, unable to move. I Can’t Run When I’m Dreaming is a song about the trauma of losing your body and about being hidden from life by a debilitating neuroimmune illness (ME/CFS) and contemplating life when pain feels like an eternity.

All proceeds from sales and streaming will go to vital ME/CFS research through Open Medicine Foundation. You can support the cause by purchasing the music on Bandcamp or iTunes.
