Dreams are a subject that many have studied around. 
Some believe they are signs from the waking world. 
Some believe they are gates to alternate universes.
There are so many theories as to what dreams really are.

But what does Alison believe? 

Alison Greene is a young teenage girl of the age seventeen. She still attends highschool, but she's always been on the rocks when it comes to keeping her grades up. This teen has never been fond of social interaction, in fact she's never really spoken a word to anyone at her school unless it was absolutely necessary. 
Why does she do this, you may ask?
Well, its because she has no reason to. First of all, crippling social anxiety is a thing. Second of all, she's never needed the waking world, for she's always had the paradise of her own mind. 
Alison isn't a normal girl, that much I can say. She can control her dreams to it's fullest extent, spanning from what other people sound like to the geography of her own little world. Everything is completely how she wants it to be! 
She has a bodyguard, sworn to protect her when things get tough.
And she has a best friend, one who will console her and comfort her when she is hurt.
Alison's dream world is the ultimate paradise, living as the princess of the kingdom of Gallahide, a province she made all with the sprouting of a single idea. 
How is this all possible, you may ask as well?
My answer to you, my friend, is observance.
She has a mind able to take in the most bitter of details and flood them into her memory to the point where they will rest there, patiently waiting for her to fall asleep so such details can be set into her world of dream.
This was the perfect most pleasurable place in all existence for one girl specifically; Allison. 
What happens when two people of her perfect world suddenly disappear?
And what happens when they seem to appear to her in the waking world?
You must read further to find out.

The Prophecy by lspearson
27 parts Complete
Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'
