The Dreamer Never Sleeps

the long version

Michael Casher’s fourth novel, The Dreamer Never Sleeps, explores the possibility that a dreamworld might really exist somewhere in the vast cosmos, a place where life’s problems are sorted out and lessons are learned, a place where things get done that aren’t getting done during the waking hours. For Russell Palmer, a work-at-home medical claims examiner, the dreamworld is a frightening place that often presents him with a nightmarish version of his own bewildered life. But when Bobby Mulligan, a senior citizen dreamer from another world, unexpectedly enters Palmer’s life and the lives of two other Earthlings, an upside-down and inside-out world suddenly presents itself in all its mystical, magical glory. It turns out to be a very real world, the exciting realm of why-not and a place of infinite possibilities. Palmer learns that a wealth of unearthly experience awaits everyone, a treasure chest that can only be unlocked by letting go of one’s predictable past and embracing the unknown future.
