MY THOUGHTS:
Dreams begins quietly, almost deceptively so. An antisocial protagonist, stuck in the monotony of an ordinary life, spends his time imagining something bigger—something extraordinary. But instead of chasing it, life brings it to him in the most unsettling way possible.
It starts with a dream. Not the vague, forgettable kind, but something vivid—disturbingly real. A murder in a cemetery. And then comes the moment that changes everything: he interferes.
And reality shifts.
What makes this story gripping is that it doesn’t rush to explain itself. It lets the confusion breathe. Just like the protagonist, you’re left questioning what’s real, what’s imagined, and where the line even exists. The transition from a safe, predictable life to something dangerous and unknown feels smooth yet deeply unsettling.
There’s a quiet intensity in the way the story unfolds. The main character isn’t a typical hero. He’s withdrawn, observant, and unsure of his own place in the world, which makes his connection to this strange ability even more compelling. Why him? Is he in control, or just a piece in something much larger?
And then the questions start layering: Is he the only one who can do this? If there’s someone else, are they on the same side? And most importantly—what happens when dreams stop being just dreams?
The atmosphere of the book is its strongest element. There’s a constant sense of unease, like something is always slightly off. The idea that a single action in a dream can ripple into real-world consequences adds a psychological depth that keeps you hooked.
