Have you ever considered where you go when you dream? Two teens travel to a dream world of awesome beauty and deadly peril. Lamont, a novice dreamer, may not live to realize his true destiny and power because a dead god dreams of vengeance by tricking Basha, Jewess and Reclaiming Witch, to open the Gate of Dreams.

What if it is really true that when we dream we could truly live another life? What price would you pay to go through the gate of dreams into that other life? Four teens in San Francisco in the year 1979 are confronted with that choice. Jon found he had no choice, he was swept through the gate and therein lost his girl friend Lana and it seems his sanity. Lana would do anything to get Jon back, even believe the impossible. Basha, a Jewess who is both a student of the Kabbalah and the new witchcraft tradition known as Reclaiming, the price is having to fight a being who claims to be a god and find a way to open the Gate of Dreams. For Lamont Corazon, novice dreamer, going through the gate is a chance to discover his true destiny. He is the opener of the gate and the obstacle to be overcome. But is it really true to fulfill that destiny and reunited the two lovers he has only two choices? Must either relinquish his body or become a blood sacrifice?

This is a fantasy novel which works as a philosophical inquiry into the nature of, and the construction of, human reality. Along the way, to name the most prominent topics, it touches upon dreams & dreaming, the Kabbalah & Judaism, the Reclaiming tradition of Witchcraft, Non-Aristotelian Logic, Shamanism, Taoism, and the mythos of Howard Philip Lovecraft.

This fantasy realm is based on the Dream Tales of H. P. Lovecraft but explores a dream world not of his New England in the early 1900's but a world that is the creation of San Franciscans of the 1980's. In this novel the nature of Dreaming is fleshed out which was not done in his own writings. This tale also is unlike any other in that rather than focus solely on the fantastic setting of Dreams it explores the reality we all have of living two lives. Only one of which is there for us when we sleep. Thus, unique to this novel is the exploration of the consequences for one's waking life when your dreams start to dominate.

This fantasy novel focuses not on saving the world but on helping someone in need. The tale is also a hero's quest to find his true self. A journey that takes Lamont through the Dream Realm of the city of Atlantis and beyond into the fabled ancient city of Thrall. It is during this quest that the nature of Dreaming and the true nature of human reality is elucidated. An even a god discovers that s/he is bound by the nature of reality. The secret to reading this book is not to dwell and contemplate the ideas presented but let them flow through you and by you as passing scenery. Enjoy the ride and let it take you where it will. Later when you put down the book, you can, as one does with one's dreams, think back and reflect on it. The advantage you have with this dream tale is that it will not fade with the morning light, but will be there for you to peruse and rediscover if you so choose.
