A grandmother of five dreamed up her new business idea - literally...........

But it was not until she awoke one night and recalled a dream that Attractions Complementary Therapy Centre, a former tailoring shop in Linthorpe, came about.

"I practice regular meditation and I've learned that we are often sent signs through our dreams and meditations which we have to interpret," said Sharon.

"When I saw the shop in my dream I knew that it was a sign, and then when I began looking for the perfect premises and came across the same shop that I'd dreamed about, everything became clear.

"It was meant to be."
