Write-up from the back of the paperback ~

Everyone dreams though not everyone remembers their dreams. Nevertheless, dreams hold an inexplicable fascination for all of us. And in this all-original volume of evocative tales some of today's most creative authors offer us such haunting dream experiences as:

- His nights were filled with true-dreams about people who'd died wrongful deaths, and all of them cried out for vengeance...

- While trying to overcome his creative block, a writer is offered a dream treasure beyond imagining...

- As a dream guide, she has led many people through the perils of their dreams to happy conclusions, but can she do the same for herself?

- Can one young man's dreams save the world?
