Have you ever had a dream that’s left you amazed, baffled, terrified, elated, confused, sweating, or feeling any other adjective in abundance?! The dream world is a truly happening place. Funny dreams, weird dreams, scary dreams, lucid dreams, sad dreams, lonely dreams, sometimes even lifechanging dreams. If you’ve ever had the experience of waking up from an incredibly vivid dream, or one that is only hazily etched in memory, you know partly what this book is about! Shobha—the epicenter of Sandhya Rao’s Dream Writer—is a dreamy girl. She sees many dreams, but… Uff! Why is it that she is pulled out of her sleep just before the dream ends? Why, oh why? Till, this encouraging teacher suggests she writes her dreams down— and then she just writes and writes! And now she is a happy dream writer who knows how all her dreams end, well, almost all! And that’s how these two dichotomous worlds of sleep and being awake merge together to make a new shared world. Sandhya Rao is an excellent writer.
