Originally this story was written as part of the pick two. After posting, many people asked for it to be expanded, so I have done so.

Bradley bought a home a year ago. Since then he has had some great dreams if nothing else. Today his doorbell rang and now his life is changing forever.

This was a story inspired by KC Grim's piece 'A Bastard Named Sleep'. I liked the idea the Dream was personified. I wanted to see what I could do with that idea. So here is my take on it - Dream's World. Here is the world we all go to when we close our eyes and dream. Whether it is a dream of flying or being chased, of new inventions or scary monsters, it all comes from the world where Dream rules. Come visit his world and see what you can see.
