Heather is a 23-year-old New Yorker stuck in a bumpy rut in life. Between her overbearing boss in an unsatisfying corporate job and a sense of romantic failure after the loss of true love from self-sabotage, Heather has virtually given up on happiness. When her neighbor entices her with a new up-and-coming drug that promises vibrant, lucid dreaming, Heather thinks she has found an easy, chemical relief from her day-to-day existence. What starts off as innocent dreaming of the perfect life quickly shifts into the realm of the supernatural. Taking ever-increasing doses of this unknown substance, Heather forces herself deeper into her dreamscape, trying to escape her woes of reality. When she becomes imprisoned within her mind, she is guided by her conscience to the realization that to successfully shed her mental chains of confinement, Heather will have to battle all the internal demons that have been created from her external trauma, including herself.

When a disillusioned young man meets a stranger in his dreams, he discovers that the world behind sleep is real - and dangerous. A man who lives in self-dejection and daydreams of the grandeur of being a successful writer, Bartholomew struggles with self-acceptance and all the pangs of existence. One night, his consciousness descends into the dreamworld, allowing him to experience his dreams as one would in reality. But when Inoue, a fellow Dreamshaper, explains his latent abilities, he finds out about the wildness the unconscious world holds and its mental and metaphysical effects. Inoue spontaneously decides to mentor him, introducing him to Mind Eaters - beings born from the amalgamation of repressed trauma, encompassing stress and griping depression - and the community that exists for their kind. During this, their relationship blooms, and they develop romantic feelings for one another. With his newfound powers and friends, Bartholomew slowly finds the strength and drive to come out of his shell and progress his writing journey - but this is derailed when he encounters a Dreamshaper who uses his abilities to cause harm, as well as old acquaintances that were splinters of pain he hadn't been able to remove. Bartholomew must prevail over cynicism and be bold enough to face his inner monsters before they consume him.Complete
Army Dreamers β¬ Morpheus.
Some stories begin in kingdoms of glass, or forests where time forgets to move. This one begins in a coffee shop. A small, unremarkable place where the air tastes of burnt sugar and rain. Jane did not believe in fate. Fate is a thing for stories, for other people. For lives more dramatic than hers. She believed in early mornings and late nights, in chipped mugs and quiet customers, in coffee ... the bitter salvation of the sleepless. And then he came. Tall as a winter tree, skin pale as unfallen snow, eyes fathomless and black as ink spilled across eternity. He asked for nothing more than a cup of coffee, but the way he said her name - Jane. It was like a hymn remembered from another life. She would not learn until much later that he was older than kingdoms, older than gods, older than the first dream whispered in the dark. That he was not a man at all, but a dream given shape and sorrow. And that in loving him, she had changed the story of the world They say love can conquer time. But time is cruel. And when he vanished, Jane waited. A hundred years of rain on glass, a hundred years of nights without his voice. But dreams never die. And some, no matter how deep they are buried, return. #1 DCEU 8/7/2025.Complete

The Queen Of The Cobras
~ONGOING 1st Draft~ Trauma isn't something you're born with, so why does it stick with you for life? Why is it so bad I fear going outside? Fear people? Fear crowds? Fear speaking itself? I've never had much but, with time, more and more kept gradually being taken away from me; my dreams, my hopes, and even parts of myself. Now, the one thing I thought I'd never lose- my comfort. Everything in my life changes when those vile people cut me off, kick me out, and abandon me. Just like they did to him. They took away the last thing I had to bring me comfort- the four walls of my apartment. The only hope I have to figure out what happened to my family is to accept a not-so-pleasing offer and go against everything I've lived my life by. What could possibly go wrong? Right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18+ TW: Stalking, mass shooting, violence, blood Currently in progress and will be edited regularly. It will also be a slow and long build up. Thank you for reading!
NOCTUARY: A journal of my dreams
What if your dreams weren't just dreams, but a second life you live every night? Be warned: what you read here could change the way you sleep forever. NOCTUARY is the logbook of that parallel life. It is not a collection of fantasies, but the raw-and at times terrifying-narrative of a soul that leaves its body each night to venture into the world. These are inexplicable chronicles of dreams: experiences in real places, with real people, and the strange ability to return to bed at will. But the return is never complete. The border between worlds is permeable, and something always seeps through. Each awakening is a race against forgetting: to decipher the last night's revelation or warning, to understand how it's possible to return not just with memories, but with proof. Sometimes, it's with a bit of real dust on your feet. These stories immerse you in a reality where the rules are broken and the questions become unsettling: What is consciousness when it can leave the body? And what is the real world when you can bring back fragments from another? After reading this, you will never sleep the same way again.
