Today I'm hugely excited to be a part of the promotional tour for Dreamland, a debut novel from author Robert L. Anderson. Since Dreamland deals with the world of dreams (obviously), I thought it might be fun to ask protagonist Dea to name a few fictional characters whose sleeping minds she'd like a peek at, and I so approve of her choices:) Be sure and check the bottom of the post as well for the full list of participating blogs as well as your chance to win a copy of Dreamland!
A Look Inside:
If Dea could take a peek at the dreams of either 3 fictional
characters or 3 real people (alive or dead), whose sleeping minds
would she most like to see/learn from?
- Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)—Katniss’s post-arena dreams must be insane and frightening, but I can’t help but want to take a look. I imagine it’d be a lot like a soldier’s nightmares except with more insane creations from the Capital. It also feels like a crime peeking into Katniss’s dreams considering the abusive voyeurism of the Games itself, but I’m going in!
- Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)—If Luna is that dreamy when she’s awake, I’d love a recess in her mind to witness how her imagination explodes in the limitless dream realm.
- Gollum (Lord of the Rings)—Gollum has seen A LOT and A LOT of what Gollum has seen is disturbing. Sign me up?
Best-case scenario: Inspiration for more books and art.
Worst-case scenario: Insane asylum.

DREAMLAND
Odea Donahue has been able to travel through people’s dreams since she was six years old. Her mother taught her the three rules of walking: Never interfere. Never be seen. Never walk the same person’s dream more than once. Dea has never questioned her mother, not about the rules, not about the clocks or the mirrors, not about moving from place to place to be one step ahead of the unseen monsters that Dea’s mother is certain are right behind them.
Then a mysterious new boy, Connor, comes to town and Dea finally starts to feel normal. As Connor breaks down the walls that she’s had up for so long, he gets closer to learning her secret. For the first time she wonders if that’s so bad. But when Dea breaks the rules, the boundary between worlds begins to deteriorate. How can she know what’s real and what’s not?

I haven't heard about this one but it sounds interesting based on the synopsis. Have you read it yet, Jenny?
ReplyDeleteLol, I wouldn't ever be interested in Gollum's dreams. Luna's on the other hand I'm sure would be very fascinating.
Hmm Alyssa from Splintered
ReplyDeleteGollum probably just dreams about the ring. I've never actually watched the movies all the way through nor read the books, but I know he's obsessed with the precious ring. lol. Dreamland sounds good. That would be a crazy ability to have.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I would love to get lost in Luna's dreams! The only problem is that I doubt I'd ever want to come out. I bet her mind is a fascinating place. Katniss would be an excellent choice, too!
ReplyDeleteLuna's dreams I'm sure would be some sort of odd but charming wonderland, not so sure about Gollum's... but maybe he dreams only of the one ring and his life as a hobbit before it?
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about this one, it sounds very good!! :)
ReplyDeleteJuliette from Shatter Me!!
ReplyDeleteKatniss' dreams would definitely be very interesting and very scary at that! This sounds like a fantastic book, Jenny! I need to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that in the sky?`Creepy
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this Jenny!!
ReplyDeleteI think if I were to go into anyone's dreams it would be a happy person that hasn't lived through horrible things. I just feel things way too much so I don't think I could handle much!
ReplyDeleteI actually would be fascinated (maybe scared too) to see what's behind Gollum's dreams. I mean LOR with an insider, who could resist?! Thanks for sharing the great post and I'm excited about Dreamland, it has me very curious, Jenny :)
ReplyDeleteOh no on Gollum for me. I think so much happened to make him so twisted. However, I'd love to know Luna's dreams. Those would be very interesting indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some great choices. If I had to pick a dreamer it would be Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. I want to know what happens in those few years he disappeared and came back as a "gentleman".
ReplyDelete*shudders* The very idea of being inside Gollum's head is terrifying enough.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting! Love that color.
ReplyDeleteAdrian's from The Vampire Academy/Bloodlines books. He can dream walk and has such lifelike dreamscapes.
ReplyDeleteI would visit Harry Potter's dreams.
ReplyDeleteLove the concept with the dreams. Gollum..so cute and oh so creepy!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to imagine what it would be like to experience Gollum's dreams! Gollum is such a complex creature and I imagine that their dreams would be very interesting indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this guest post with us, Jenny!! :)

That's a good question. A really good question! Hmm... I think I'd like to peak into Gandalf's dreams. Could you imagine?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
