Fantasy - Dream walker, wolf companion, starts with an A(?)

[Andre]

Roger TaylorDream FinderHi,

I read his book a good 15-20 years ago.

From what I remember, the protagonist has the possibility to enter dreams of other people, which is a trained job or some sort of talent that runs in his family. In order to enter a dream, he needs an animal companion that helps him to channel the power. He has a wolf/dog that helps him with that.

He can talk to the wolf, but the wolf is not amused to be linked to him because he is such a loser and his dad (previously befriended with the dog) was so much better. The wolfs opinion is, that the protagonist just wastes his talent.

The book begins that he is completely hungover and is summoned to perform his services.

If I remember correctly, the name of the protagonist (and possibly the book title) starts with an "A", but that might be bad memory.

Please help! Anyone remember this book?

Best
Andre
