Read Online Don't Wake Me if I'm Dreaming by J. E. Chaney - Free Book Online Page B

“That’s just a picture in the book. All Sleepers dream differently. Visionaries technically are people. In some cultures they resemble angels. Other cultures consider them deities, saints, or living spirits. You are what the ancient Japanese called a Sleeper. Visionaries enter your dreams like a guardian, with different purposes, but all show important visions about the future. They don’t bring harm. Think of them as guardian angels.”
    “So wait. This doesn’t add up. These people or whatever they are, enter my dreams and show me what they want me to see. How exactly does that work? I mean do they know they’re there? How did they choose me to invade? Moreover, how do I make them leave so I can regain my sanity?”
    “So many questions and so few answers. First, they are not a danger, and they show you what you need to see, the truth. They do not choose you, but rather you chose them. It’s your dream. When you meet them in person, they may not know you, nor will they know you’ve dreamt of them. They will not remember meeting you in your dreams. It is your dream. No one but you knows what happens there. It’s in the cards that you will be placed in each other’s life, not by chance, by fate.”
    “Sorry, I’m trying hard to calculate this information. I’m a rather logical person, but this, no. This doesn’t add up. In the dreams, Scott, the little boy, is my friend Aimee’s son. Aimee doesn’t have a child, she’s not even pregnant, and Jack, I’ve never met him. For all I know, I made him up.”
    “You haven’t met them, yet, but they are real, and they can show you very important things that may happen so you must pay close attention.”
    “So you’re saying I can dream into the future?”
    “Only when that day comes will you be certain, but more or less, yes, they can show you the future.”
    “And how do you know visionaries are real people? Or that any of this is true and not just a legend. I’m sorry, but this just doesn’t make sense. They are only dreams, very bizarre, unfavorable dreams, nothing more,” I argued.
    “There have been accounts of those who have experienced this and are you not experiencing it, or is it just a coincidence that others report experiencing what you have?”
    I took a seat in front of her desk trying to process her words. “So if they show the future, Aimee is going to…die?”
    “If your dream is prophetic, yes, but her destiny can change its course, the future can change depending on the course you take. That’s why the visionaries come to you. They are warning you of changes needing to be made. Look at it as a sign, a message that has been gifted to you, if this is your friend’s pending fate, then you can help save her life, you can change her future. It’s a rather difficult predicament to conceive, but I wouldn’t ignore it.”
    I tried processing everything she explained, but couldn’t believe the illogical jumbo that spewed from her mouth.
    “This is completely preposterous! It’s absurd. They are just dreams. I don’t have those things in my dream.” I stood and pointed to the picture, then seized the book, but was not able to read the symbolic looking writing. “What does that say?” I didn’t ask, I demanded.
    She looked turned off by my tone, which encouraged her expression from curiosity to frustration. 
    “It’s my native tongue.” She reached over, retrieving the book. “I’ll read to you. ‘Ancient legends speculate sleepers are beings influential enough to alter time using prophetic vision. The predestination is the divine foreknowledge of what the future entails created by a paradox between alternate parts of time and the mind. Sleepers experience out of body involvements while sleeping, possessing exceptional abilities only while dreaming. Once a sleeper possesses the ability to manipulate his dreams, he will possess the power to alter the future.’ You need to understand, Sasha, this is a very powerful and delicate
