No plot that I can remember (per se) it was a neet illustrated guide about monsters you may encounter. Some in dreams, some not. One that stands out was a cloud monster that'd eat houses and scare people. the illustration had part of it wrapped around a person.

This is not how you use this you have to put the topic in the UNSOLVED folder.
OH! Then my bad it did get put in unsolved. Well ok I'll just make sure to double-check next time.
Was this a picture book, Gork? Like 32 to 64 pages in length? Or something a bit bulkier like an early reader?Any feeling about age group? Teens or are we talking young kids? :)
It wasn't a "Monster in my Pocket" book, was it? i.e. Monster in My Pocket Annual 1992 I don't remember a cloud monster, but I do remember Spring-heeled Jack as name, if that rings any bells. More on that franchise here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster...
Content-wise: did it seem more rooted in classic mythology? Or was it just like pop-culture or made-up monsters? :)
What were the illustrations like, please? Full colour, or b&w? Extremely detailed or simple sketches? Cartoony or realistic?
There are some lists that I think you might like to scroll through:
Bestiaries: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
another Bestiary one: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
Picture Books Myth. Mag. Creatures: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...
If it might have been related to Dungeons & Dragons or another role-playing game system, there's a separate list here: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
The two illustrations I remember were color. I think it was pop-culture type of creatures because I don't recall things like Satyres, imps gnomes, pooka, Elfs or trolls and the like. I'm trying to think as a type. I almost want to say it was illustrations of someone with an S peter something. ooh wait I think the copy I was given was a hard back book and just for adventures in a dream realm...and FOUND IT!!!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0933635532/...
I'm hoping it can inspiration for much more friendly critters. I make figures by hand from clay. I'm hopping to set up a etsy shop eventually. But want a modest variety. Not quite their yet.
And the bestiaries list did it. Hard to find good books beyond Faeries and Elfs.
thank you
