Postcard collection? Haven't I read that about someone who has one of those? Are you hiding something? I like this chapter too. And you introduce some interesting ideas. A crisis could be looming, with dreams becoming cliched and dark. Some room for more story there. I think you could go on, expand this into a much longer piece, if you wanted. You write with real ease - or it reads that way. Like you're really enjoying writing it. I think this is a good second chapter, and I'd be interested to read more like it.
