Author's note:

Hello, and welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read this author's note, and I hope you enjoy the adventure which lies ahead. The Book of Dreams is a story I have been working on since June of 2012, when I first uploaded it to the Minecraft Forum. In April 2014, I uploaded my work so far to this website, and I have continued to slowly but steadily whittle away at the plot ever since. If you like this story, I highly recommend also checking out this collaborative Minecraft fanfic that I'm a part of, with a few other talented writers from the Minecraft Forum community:

Feedback of any kind for my story, both good and bad, is always appreciated.

Now, without further ado, I present to you...

The Book of Dreams

Hello.

It seems you have finally found me.

It's almost as if this was meant to be.

So, welcome. Welcome to my story.

What a kind blessing that we could meet.

I come into your hands, to fill the blank pages of your fate.

And you come to open my cover, to read the words on my pages.

Promise me this: continue to bring me wherever you go.

I saw the book in a dream.

It was nightmare. I was surrounded by strange monsters.

Then I woke up. I felt the reed-bound book in my back pocket, right where I found it in that dream.

I swear, I have never seen this book in my life.

But when I read the book, that's what I saw: those very words.

The monsters stared at me, as if they were waiting for me to finish reading.

Then when I closed the book, the dream ended.

My back is sweaty, as if in a fever. My beautiful new shirt clings heavily to my body.

I reach down into my back pocket, grabbing the book and bringing it up to my shoulder, opening it up against the mattress, to the first page again.
