My entire life, I had big dreams ... Dreams of earning perfect grades, becoming a renowned doctor, and hopefully, at some point later on, a family of my own. I was on track to have all of that until the day everything I'd worked so hard for collapsed around me, and the thought of dreaming again became like ash in my mouth. When dreams and reality blur and become indistinguishable, what is your recourse? It's far easier to stay where you feel safe and loved, even though in the back of your mind, you know all is not what it seems. If you take a chance on the comforting voice that has become your constant companion and fight your way out of the dream, what happens when you wake up?

I thought I was well-prepared after rotations of studying, research, and inquiries, and I should have been. As I stood next to my brothers, confident I had the knowledge to handle anything thrown at me, I never pictured her, nor the sheer terror that coursed through me as I frantically ripped apart the pod to save her. Now all I ever wanted lies before me, and I am lost. My education and medical expertise are worthless. Her body is so close I can reach out and touch her, but she's far, far away from me, trapped in her mind. In her dreams, she is safe; there are no questions or heartache. But what happens when she finally awakens? Will I be worthy of her, or will she hate me for what I have done to save her life?
