Dreamland

Dreamland by Robert L. Anderson, published by HarperCollins on September 20, 2016, is a reprint edition comprising 336 pages. This young adult fiction novel explores the intricate relationship between dreams and reality through the experiences of Odea Donahue, who has the unique ability to traverse the dreams of others since childhood. Guided by her mother’s three essential rules—never interfere, never be seen, and never walk the same person’s dream more than once—Dea has maintained a careful balance until the arrival of a new boy, Connor, who challenges her understanding of normalcy and complicates her dream-walking.

As Dea becomes increasingly entangled in Connor’s dreams and nightmares, the boundaries between their worlds blur, leading to unforeseen dangers for those she cares about. This narrative delves into themes of secrecy and the consequences of crossing established boundaries, set against a backdrop of horror and fantasy. Readers will find a richly woven tale that invites them to consider the implications of dreams and the fine line that separates them from reality.
