The Dreaming World

<p><em>The Dreaming World</em> was born from a question that refused to leave me: What if the planet we sought to inhabit was already alive-and dreaming of us? This novel is more than a tale of space exploration; it's a meditation on the scars we carry from Earth and how easily we might repeat our mistakes even in paradise. I wanted to write a story where beauty is unsettling where every breath of alien air carries a question and where hope is both luminous and terrifying.</p><p>At its heart this book is about memory-planetary memory ancestral memory and the quiet ache of leaving behind a dying home. Through Elara's journey and the haunting unfolding mystery of Kepler-186f I tried to explore how the act of colonization becomes spiritual when the land itself listens reacts and dreams back.</p><p>As a writer I am drawn to the liminal spaces between awe and dread between science and myth and <em>The Dreaming World</em> is where those threads converge. It is a love letter to what we might become-if we are willing to listen.</p>
