But one night she has a terrible nightmare and watches helplessly as a young boy executes a man in cold blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat she wants to believe is only a bad dream turns out to be an actual murder! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs this all for real?

How do you classify it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's true. Dream Walker is not traditional sci-fi, which explores the mechanical, three dimensional worlds, often uses space crafts and plausible technology. It isn't really paranormal fiction either, which is associated with vampires, ghosts, or fantastical creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is actually Visionary Fiction a genre in which the expansion of the human mind drives the plot. It is driven by our more ephemeral, mystical experiences, phenomena that doesn't fit into the confines of logic, but can be explained through the new sciences of quantum mechanics and possibly string theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncreasingly, we are discovering the power and limitlessness of the uncharted human mind. I wanted to create a parable of sorts that explored those ideas within the trappings of a conspiracy thriller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat drew you into writing this kind of novel?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey always say, \"write what you know.\" So for me, that meant writing the weird. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've experienced many extraordinary paranormal events in my life, from dream travels, like Aislen, to the haunting of my childhood home. I've even had the pleasure of a few of UFO sightings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the years progressed, I began to experience psychic phenomena, such as premonitions, telepathy, clairvoyance and clairaudience. My traditional religious paradigm couldn't explain them, which sent me on a quest for knowledge and understanding. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter twenty years of studying mysticism, holistic theology, philosophy and quantum theory, I wanted to weave those concepts with some of my own experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho would enjoy this type of novel?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who love tv shows like Fringe, The OA, or movies such as Dr. Strange, Source Code, Inception, and the The Adjustment Bureau.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gnosis Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036276474096,"sku":"9780999410127","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780999410127_p0.jpg?v=1763960395","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780999410127","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
