Nightmares of Reality Norman E Raison IV

As humans, we have nearly 70,000 thoughts a day. How many millions of thoughts can we have while in our subconscious? Our minds create, bend and shape reality. Our perception creates our reality and in turn, affects our behaviors, emotions and reasoning. However, what happens when we are unable to distinguish between what is real and what is an altered, imagined reality? How does that person now react? How does that person's altered reality now impact their thoughts, emotional behaviors and perception? And what do we do when someone gets trapped within the infinite imagination of their own mind? The eyes only see what the mind is willing to accept. What is real, what is false? And even more importantly, how would you know? Vane Ellington is a successful, recently married man, with the supposedly perfect life which is progressively unraveling and dissipating before his very eyes. He is seemingly losing his perception as his dreams, memories, and reality all gradually begin to blend and merge together, until he can no longer differentiate between them. Vane experiences recurring nightmares in which the people around him, inevitably, befall a tragic fate. Upon conclusion of the nightmare, he abruptly wakes up to find himself safely in his home. However, he is unaware whether he is having a dream, reliving a memory or experiencing an altered reality his mind has created. The fragile lines of perception are steadily tested, blur and slowly lead to the fringes of insanity in the intense, non-stop, psychological thriller that will have you second guessing yourself and your beliefs well after the final sentence.
