My name is Lucille Cutter but I'm usually called Lucy. I am what is known as a lucid dreamer, lucid dreaming is where the person dreaming is aware they are dreaming and can exert some form of control over the dream.

In my dreams I can control some things but my dreams are different... They hurt me.

When I dream I can get hurt and when I wake up I feel the pain, there is no physical mark but I feel the immense pain. I've had tests done but no one knows why it happens only that it could kill me.

You maybe thinking that as long as I don't do anything dangerous I should be fine... Right?

It would if 'he' wasn't in my dreams stalking me...

The Somnus Enigma by L1ghtspare

Synopsis Elian has always walked the thin edge between sleep and waking. Born with the forbidden gift to step inside the dreams of others, he treats it as a secret refuge-a place where he can scatter nightmares, weave comfort, and whisper hope into restless minds. But gifts such as his are never without cost. Lately, the village has begun to change. Friends awaken with memories they never lived. Strangers claim to have shared the same impossible dreams. And in the dead of night, Elian begins to see cracks in the fabric of reality-shadows that slip through when no one is watching. What should have been harmless illusions now leave scars that linger long after morning light. When a cloaked order arrives, seeking dreamwalkers to harness their power, Elian learns that he is not alone-and that his ability is far more dangerous than he imagined. The dream-realm, vast and hungry, is bleeding into the waking world, and every choice he makes within it ripples outward like a storm. To save his people, Elian must descend deeper into the labyrinth of dreams than he ever dared, where time unravels, voices whisper lies, and nightmares wear the faces of those he loves most. But as reality bends and fractures around him, one question haunts his every step: what if the world he is trying to protect is only another dream-and he is the one who needs to wake?

Insomnia Wake #Wattys2016 by pi_memorizer

What do you dream about? Adventure? Love? Bravery? What if your dreams are but another reality? Can you trust them? In Insomnia Wake, everyone is free to do as they please, both good and bad. The world isn't bound by the same rules as traditional society. Everyone here has a lust for their own adventure, no matter how big or how small. One day when Neuman is born into this new world, he is greeted by all sorts of interesting people, abilities that reflect the very sub-consciences of people, and a different breed of trouble than he is used to. Even if it is a sort of dream, does that make who he meets, what he does, and how he feels any different than that of his traditional "reality"? Or perhaps is this even more real than before? {(Hopefully) temporary cover done by me}

Scraps (Dream SMP Fanfic) by FIIREFLAME

Lucid dreaming is a trait shared by few, many think it enables you to have full control of your dreams. That it does, but what people don't know, is the scars it's creates. How it progressively gets more and more intense; more and more realistic. Y/N has lucid dreaming, and one night after she lays in bed and sleeps a dream takes place. . . . . . but is it really a dream? DISCLAIMER-- [This is a non-romantic story and is based off of mystery, adventure, and action. The plot line and cover is created by me]

But all of that changed when she came back from summer camp. As she finally fell asleep, she woke up in the Dreamscape. Thus, the prophecy finally started to unfold. . . (Note: This story is finished, but I might add some stuff later. So for now, it says ongoing.)

Temporal Tantrums by AnanthVanDerLekh

What if someone was interfering with your dreams? Why do dreams seem to tell stories over which we have no conscious control? Who decides what gets into our dreams... ...and what gets out? What if the line between stories and reality blurs? If our own story was told would we really be the character we think we are? Who says that our personal perspective of reality is the only one... ... or the real one? What if travelling in time was possible for you? When would you go and would you be able to get back? If you met yourself would it really be you... ...or another person very like you? Book 1 of the epic series Tales of Strangeness and Charm. Follow Temporal Tantrums: To Discover If Reality Can Get Any Weirder Every time you think the plot has reached peak absurdity, someone pulls the rug out and exposes new depths. Is there wisdom in the chaos? This unpredictability mirrors the twists and turns of time travel, where nothing is ever as it seems. Because It's Not Just the Characters Losing the Plot In this universe, narrative amnesia, time loops, and characters with overlapping manifestations in different stories leave you wondering who's writing whom. This highlights the chaotic, mind-bending nature of the time travel narrative. Because It'll Make You Question Your Own Reality You'll start to wonder if the random events in your life are part of a greater narrative or just cosmic chicken scratching. This suits a time travel story where reality and timelines blur, keeping readers on edge.

NOCTUARY: A journal of my dreams by reymayaoficial

What if your dreams weren't just dreams, but a second life you live every night? Be warned: what you read here could change the way you sleep forever. NOCTUARY is the logbook of that parallel life. It is not a collection of fantasies, but the raw-and at times terrifying-narrative of a soul that leaves its body each night to venture into the world. These are inexplicable chronicles of dreams: experiences in real places, with real people, and the strange ability to return to bed at will. But the return is never complete. The border between worlds is permeable, and something always seeps through. Each awakening is a race against forgetting: to decipher the last night's revelation or warning, to understand how it's possible to return not just with memories, but with proof. Sometimes, it's with a bit of real dust on your feet. These stories immerse you in a reality where the rules are broken and the questions become unsettling: What is consciousness when it can leave the body? And what is the real world when you can bring back fragments from another? After reading this, you will never sleep the same way again.
