Dreaming is the culmination of a lot of things. It can be magical and alluring. It can be twisted and downright frightening. And sometimes, if you get to the other side of sleep, it can be enlightening.

And that’s why I decided I was going to fight for a life among the departed. 

The only one standing in my way . . . was me.
