Download or read book Asleep to Dream in Seattle written by Hal J. Kelly and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demoralized by twenty-six loveless years in matrimony and bitter retrospect on drudgeries of the past, Craig Burton makes a sudden and dramatic decision to alter his life. Forever mysteriously drawn to the vast wilderness west of the Mississippi River and impelled by a strange longing, he plunges recklessly westward to satisfy these inner urges. Mesmerized by the exploits of Lewis an Clark, Jedediah Smith, William H. Ashley, John C. Fremont and others, this resolute and head strong man leaves the complacency of Rexburg, Ohio to follow the Oregon and Mormon Trails far from his family. Continually ignoring sage advise, Craig staggers from one brutal encounter to another, miraculously escaping each time with the accumulating feeling that he is receiving aid from an unknown force. As he wanders and explores in his fur trapping pursuits, Craig soon realizes that many trails and localities are familiar from some where in a past life. Searching for answers, he eventually meets his Mother of the Uintah' and confirms that, yes, he had been in these places before. Meeting a wandering and poverty stricken tribe of Utes, Craig quickly develops a bond of mutual respect and feeling of brotherhood with his primitive friends. A relationship that later saves his life when he is besieged by a group of marauding Arapahoes. Later, when inexorably integrated into the tribal culture of the Kwa'da Kiowa, Craig yields to tender sexual temptations with a young Shoshone slave girl only to discover the cruel penalties for such temerity, Heart broken and finding an intense dislike for himself festering within, he forms a strange but mutually beneficial alliance with an equally irresponsible, young prairie wolf. An alliance whereby each learns some facts of life from the other. Shyly returning to civilization, Craig is quickly introduced to the prejudice for appearing more savage than contemporary. Violence seems to gravitate to him in one brutal episode after another. Weary of it all and feeling unworthy of re-entering society he heads back to the one place he knows there are friends and he will feel at home, Keedskadee on the Green River in Wyoming territory. But again, in his last and only remaining haven, tragedy strikes with the loss of his two remaining side kicks and devastating news from back home. Craig Burton is crushed to his knees in abject despair. Hopelessly captivated by the grandeur and vastness of the American West and horribly alone, it is the love of a strong and caring woman who ultimately heals Craig Burtons soul and salvages a place in the wilderness for them.

Download or read book City at the End of Time written by Greg Bear and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2008-08-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple Hugo and Nebula award-winning author, Greg Bear is one of science fiction’s most accomplished writers. Bold scientific speculation, riveting plots, and a fierce humanism reflected in characters who dare to dream of better worlds distinguish his work. Now Bear has written a mind-bendingly epic novel that may well be his masterpiece. Do you dream of a city at the end of time? In a time like the present, in a world that may or may not be our own, three young people–Ginny, Jack, and Daniel–dream of a doomed, decadent city of the distant future: the Kalpa. Ginny’s and Jack’s dreams overtake them without warning, leaving their bodies behind while carrying their consciousnesses forward, into the minds of two inhabitants of the Kalpa–a would-be warrior, Jebrassy, and an inquisitive explorer, Tiadba–who have been genetically retro-engineered to possess qualities of ancient humanity. As for Daniel: He dreams of an empty darkness–all that his future holds. But more than dreams link Ginny, Jack, and Daniel. They are fate-shifters, born with the ability to skip like stones across the surface of the fifth dimension, inhabiting alternate versions of themselves. And each guards an object whose origin and purpose are unknown: gnarled, stony artifacts called sum-runners that persist unchanged through all versions of time. Hunted by others with similar powers who seek the sum-runners on behalf of a terrifying, goddess-like entity known as the Chalk Princess, Ginny, Jack, and Daniel are drawn, despite themselves, into an all but hopeless mission to rescue the future–and complete the greatest achievement in human history.

Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, there has been a revolution in scientific knowledge about why we dream, what's actually happening to the brain when we do, and what the sleeping mind reveals about our waking hours.

She then takes us into modern sleep labs across the country, bringing the scientists to life as she interprets their intellectual breakthroughs and asks the questions that intrigue us all: Why do we remember only a fraction of our dreams? Why are dreams usually accompanied by intense emotion, such as fear or anxiety? Can we really control our dreams without waking up? Are universal dream interpretations valid? Is dreaming our way of consolidating long-term memories and filtering the day's mental detritus? Can dreams truly spark creative thought or help solve problems? Accessible and engaging, The Mind at Night shines a bright light on our nocturnal journeys, while revealing the crucial role dreams could play in penetrating the mystery of consciousness.

Book excerpt: Sara Barnes thought her life was perfectly ordinary – until the night she began stepping into other people’s dreams. Follow Sara as she learns to cope with this extraordinary gift (or curse) in the first three books of the Dream Doctor Mysteries: DREAM STUDENT It’s bad enough that, thanks to her supernatural talent, Sara is learning more than she ever needed to know about her friends and classmates, watching their most secret fantasies whether she wants to or not. Much worse are the other dreams, the ones she sees nearly every night, featuring a strange, terrifying man who commits unspeakable crimes. Now Sara wonders if she’s the only witness to a serial killer – and the only one who knows when and where he’s going to strike next. DREAM DOCTOR Medical school and life as a newlywed would be enough by themselves for anybody to handle. But Sara’s got another problem – her dreams have started up again. Almost everyone at the medical school is dreaming about the death of the school’s least popular teacher, Dr. Morris, and once again, Sara finds herself in the role of unwilling witness to a murder before it happens. But this time, there are too many suspects to count, and it doesn’t help matters that she hates Dr. Morris every bit as much as any of his would-be murderers do. DREAM CHILD Sara thought she had made peace with her dreaming talent, but she’s got a surprise coming: her four-year-old daughter has inherited it, too. Unraveling a mystery with lives on the line is difficult enough under the best of circumstances. But when Sara has to view all the evidence through the eyes – and dreams - of a toddler, it may be an impossible task.
