Nightmares and Dreams are actual creatures who invade human minds as embodied fears and joys. But with the new BlissMax pill (guaranteed to give you good dreams all night!) the Nightmares are starving. 

Violet doesn't use BlissMax (or any modern niceties, thanks Dad), and one night, a Nightmare—the fear of hell—enters her enticingly un-medicated mind and gets trapped. Though Violet has a penchant for creepy things, having a Nightmare stuck inside her mind causes problems: narcolepsy and yet further distance from reality, to name a few, not to mention the Nightmare begins to starve in the wake of fresh human fear. 

In a misguided attempt to get him home, she gets dragged into the city of Nightmares, Halloweentown on steroids. Once there, it becomes apparent the Dreams and Nightmares hate each other and getting back (alive) only tips the list of growing complications.All Rights Reserved

But when Charlie discovers just how far his father's plans for Nora go, he'll have to choose between his freedom or his morals. Is it possible to escape when you don't even know you're trapped?

My Queens of Nightmares by lillytheshylilly

My Queens of Nightmares Five girls. Five fortunes. One nightmare that will never end. Zoe Carrington, Chloe Sterling, Lexi Davenport, Alice Hawthorne, and Daniella Blackwood-born into unimaginable wealth but trapped by fears darker than their shadows. A weekend camping trip in the cursed town of Raven Hollow should have been just a thrill. Instead, it's a descent into terror. The air tastes like fear. The trees whisper your name. The shadows don't just move-they reach. Their phobias come alive in the most horrifying ways-claustrophobic walls closing in, darkness that suffocates, heights that plunge into madness, water that pulls beneath with icy claws, and spiders that crawl inside your skin. And waiting in the heart of the nightmare is the Queen-an ancient evil that feeds on fear, grows stronger with every scream, and drags souls into a realm where nightmares reign forever. They say no one leaves Raven Hollow sane. They say no one leaves alive. Will these girls survive their fears-or become queens of nightmares themselves?

But what happens when she falls into the realm where nightmares live and breathe? Could she ever forget such an experience?

Beyond Infinity: The Convergence by SirNonchalant

The earth has been ravaged by war, and all that is left of humanity is on an iron island out in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. It was a paradise, because on Olympus, they were gods, or so they were made to believe. The inhabitants of Olympus were untouchable, beyond simple human desires like greed, hate and violence. Unfortunately for them, they seemed to have incurred the wrath of actual gods, nightmares, and monsters. And so, they have been forced to flee their 'heaven' for greener pastures, but before then, they'll have to pass through hell. Monsters, demons, nightmares and gods are only supposed to exist in the world of imagination, and that's exactly where they came from. And it just so happens that to survive, they'll have to enter the human mind, they'll have to invade the world of imagination, but what horrors must await them in such a place, depraved of reason and logic, perverted by man's desires and sick mind.

𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗜 by WrathofEris

In a distant future where Earth is forgotten by name but remembered in blood, an engineer of divine machinery begins to unravel the echoes of a godless ancestry. Haunted by visions she cannot translate and drawn to forgotten symbols etched in her very DNA, she searches for truth in a world that worships machines as angels and mistakes ancient scriptures for metaphors of control. As she dives deeper into the subconscious dreamscape of her ancestors, she begins to question everything, divinity, creation, even reality itself. Is faith just memory misfiring through generations? Are the machines she builds sacred... or projections of a frightened consciousness yearning for something lost?
