Tess begins her dream sailing peacefully along a pristine coastline; it's not long before a storm approaches, capsizing her. Normally the dream would end there, but this is a dream unlike any other. When she wakes up, she's still in her dream and discovers that here, her sign language has power. Back in reality, college-student Tess faces another storm; death, and the debris it leaves in its wake. Tess's Aunt Valentine, the woman who taught her ASL and practically raised her, is dying and treatment isn't working. On top of this, Tess is finishing her degree in English with hopes to make her mark on the world through her poetry. Oh yeah, and she's working in an art gallery for a family friend, Alice, preparing a new exhibit featuring the invisible beauty of trees. It's a hectic life to balance. And now, she keeps having the same dream in a living world. Every night she returns to find the world changed, whether its creatures of her subconscious she calls Tones or an oddly intuitive boy who claims to be her guide. Then there's the monster her Tones call Amiko who seems to want her dead. Tess is starting to think this could be a nightmare instead. As she dives further into the dream, she loses her grip on reality. She can do anything, conquer it all, but can she find a way to save her aunt?

The Chronicles of Sorataki: Lucid Wish by DS-Nate
37 parts Complete
Forgive and forget, a simple saying. But at what cost can such a notion bargain one who's fresh out of mercy and stocked full of unpleasant memories? Moments away from preparation for a pivotal battle Natalie discovered that she is trapped in a world of dreams. That dream turned out to be that of a young girl who unknowingly dreams of themselves a hero of a city called Lucid. This peace falls apart however when this young girl had to face an unfair truth. Now stuck in this realm with a repent cognition Natalie and Allisa (a girl who comes from another world) must overcome this world's obstacles in the young girl's to free her and each other from the dream once and for all. Using all their wit and scenes they must fight their very own demons if they hope to overcome the denizens of this world. This story is canon to the main events that branch off of the Soratki series between books 2 and 3. As such the events within here are self-contained enough to enjoy on their own but for the best reading experience read up to at least book two (Deaths Gamble) before you continue. This is a collaborated project using characters from @JamesLester126 world of The Goddess' Chosen. Like with my story this can be enjoyed without reading other works but for the best take on Allisa and the other of @JamesLester126 characters by this point read up to (Chains of Fate) before you continue.
My Monster Dream by Author_J_
4 parts Ongoing
Throughout the book, the main character tries to discover what it means to be alive as a 'lower being' in a new world. Originally, she believes herself to be human until an accident occurs, and she finds herself to be woken up in the middle of what she thought to be some sort of cosplay festival. Oddly enough, these strange creatures weren't human, which she quickly realized after being attacked and nearly killed. Now she's got to learn how to survive in this new, scary environment where everyone's out for her demise. I've learned a lot of the parts in this book relate to real-life events, places in the present, and the past. You'll see a lot of connections between actual human historical events and the goings on in this book. The main character is, above all, head strong and bold. She's unafraid of the social normal and any punishments that come when defying them. ----- My original caption for the story: I had a dream, and it was kinda awesome and slightly romantic. I'll try my best to write down what I remember.

The Ardent and The Bard by smzipp
21 parts Complete
Ever wonder where your dreams go when you wake? Imagine if they drifted off, coalescing with the dreams of others to create a constantly shifting realm of imagination and memories. That is the realm that Shade the Scarecrow and Cole the Wanderer set off to explore. What begins as a simple research expedition escalates into a fight for survival and revelation. ---------------------------------- This is a work based on a D&D campaign I ran with my friends for 4 years (though it is not a "campaign journal"). It's part of a series of novellas I wrote for my players to let them know what their characters are up to. Naturally this means that it was written with the intent that the reader was already familiar with the world. I have done my best to adapt the story for new readers and included footnotes for lore that does not outright speak for itself. If you enjoy this, consider going to my main blog (taleofchampions.wordpress.com) where you can read the appendices and see new chapters early. Thank you for your time. ~-~smzippyy
