Ava (oxygenmaskvinchie) | 6 comments - Read in 1986 in school.
- Believed to be fiction book or a short story

- Book is somewhat believed to be about a room where images on the wall become real/ what you imagined became real and it was scary. Possibly a lion or tiger started chasing the MC.
(Thoughts would show up on screen and come alive, MC was in a jungle possibly).

- Main character believed to be a boy

Sirvantes | 180 comments Ray Bradbury's short story The Veldt comes to mind. It is contained in his collection called The Illustrated Man

Wikipedia's plot description of The Veldt by Ray Bradbury - with Spoilers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vel...

Google Books preview seems to contain most of the short story - suggested by Sirvantes and SamSpayedPI:
https://books.google.com/books?id=-QC... There are different cover images.
