I can only drive so far without my eyes crossing, I’ve yet to discover why this is. Reading does this to me also. As few as 7 boring or confusing pages, nearly force me to sleep. I have internally, been putting up with the idea that I am a poor and slow reader, because I just can’t take the strain of reading anything longer than a short-story.. though I try again one day, only to find myself dragging boxes of published works, from place to place. Each with a marker to show where I gave up/passed out. What prompted this share was I being reminded how many times I tried to read Huxley “island”

I read a book once that ended with the main character waking up from a coma and the entire fantastical adventure had been a dream. Perhaps it could have worked to show character growth or some such but he had been able to communicate with his family back home and when he woke up he learned none of it had ever happened. I threw the book across the room and donated the book to a rummage sale – 20 years later I still feel rage when thinking of that book!

My editor referred to my writing as come back’s. The patagonist tries to desperately remember what happened to her the night before after a party. She woke up in a precarious situation and has no idea why this happened to her. Her flashes in time confirms her actions, which I kept limited, but they are brief. The reader is aware there just cloudy memories. I try not to rely on them, if I have to clarify the past, I try to use dialog or I incorporate the senses. I enjoy reading your posts, I’ve learned a lot of valuable information and refer back to them as much as I can.

I just finished YA Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King with an intriguing dream weave throughout the book. Love to know how you like it.

I have 2 dreams in my WIP that force the MC to take a path away from what she sees in the dream. Sure hope it works.
