Samina Aziz | 43 comments A young man is gifted in the sense he can manipulate his dreams. He usually spots other dreamers drifting by in this dream world and can tell when someones in a nightmare or in a good dream.

He teams up with a woman he always notices and she is a bit more substantial looking than other dreamers

Much later in the book in the real world he learns she was actually in a coma explaining why she was so 'real' in the dream world. I think the two meet in the real world at the end too.

Samina Aziz | 43 comments I should add that this is a British author. I remember the cover was a light Bluey colour. tried remembering the author and rhiannon lassiter came to mind however she didn't write the book as I couldn't find it under her titles. I think hex (her book) was out around the time I read this dream book. I also read castle in the air by Diana wynne jones at the same time.

Samina, please come back and let us know if Mirror Dreams is your book.

One Amazon reviewer describes the main character Laenon Kite as a "powerful mage, overly sarcastic, unassuming looking, highly cynical and always in the thick of things (even when he doesn't want be). He's nothing like a legend should be and everything a legend is. Humourous, gripping and completely original."

I'll move your request to a Solved folder. If you find this isn't your book, just come back and we'll move it to the Unsolved folder. Good luck!
