I loved it! So well-written and what a great hook at the end ;)
The first book I ever wrote had a slightly similar premise, only it was actual dreams, lucid dreams...and there was also a boy :) I actually have had some lucid dreams, as soon as I realize I'm dreaming I drop what I'm doing, run outside and leap into the air and fly...and what always gets me about it is when I've woken from it I can remember the sensation and it's unlike anything I have ever experienced. Which makes me think I must have done it somehow, somewhere. It's actually what inspired me to write the story. I used to wish I could do it on command but the more I thought about it, the more I realized exactly what you expressed-if I could do it every night it would lose its magic.
Beautiful story, can't wait for more!
Well now I'm a little bit scared. lol
We've gone from being kindred spirits to identical twins, separated at birth. Lol
The premise IS built on lucid dreaming... (and will be mentioned later) but... slightly different ;) you'll see as it progresses and twists further :)
I ALSO can have lucid dreams -but only for moments. As soon as I realize that I'm in a dream.. I only have about 10 seconds to control it before the conscious part of my mind fully "wakes" me up. When I try to control my flying, I actually fight against the descent as I'm waking up.... it's sooooo frustrating!
And I can never eat the feasts that I create fast enough before "blink"! I'm awake.
Hahahahaha
And 3. There is a boy. (There's always a boy.... right? LOLOL) But the boy is NOT the "he" mentioned in the last sentence of the chapter. :)
I guess it's not that crazy that we would have had similar experiences/dreams/writing. (And usernames! lol)
Reality shapes fiction, right? Hahahhaa I haven't met anyone who dreams as often or as deeply or as vividly as myself... (maybe until now? Hehe)
It's why I HAD to name myself something with "dreem" in it- because it's a huge part of who I am!
Often times, I will wake with entire songs written.... or portions of stories completely mapped out. I wake up- grab my computer and start typing furiously before it's gone! In my life, my dream world is just as valuable as my waking world.
Ok so don't tell me anymore about your story! Hahahhahaa I don't want anything you say to subconsciously mesh our ideas together as I write! Lol
When I finish with Talia.... I'll need to read your book :)
Have a wonderful day, my kindred twin!
Unfortunately that was the first book I ever wrote, and while the premise was great, the writing was...not something I would post on steemit lol. I keep thinking I might revise it. Also I will be posting a book, I wrote the intro for it, but unlike most everything else I've done here so far it isn't squeaky clean. Strong language warning, ha.
Make it a wonderful day love!
Hehehe understood! :)
And it shall be a great day!
