One night in an isolated college town on the subject of The Dreamers: A Book in the hills of Southern California, a first-year student stumbles into her dorm area, falls asleep-and doesn’t wake up. She sleeps through the morning, into the night. Her roommate, Mei, cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics, nor the perplexed doctors at a healthcare facility. When a second lady falls asleep, and then another, Mei discovers herself thrust as well as an eccentric classmate as stress takes your hands on the faculty and spreads to the city. A young couple tries to safeguard their newborn as the once-quiet streets descend into chaos. Two sisters convert to each other for comfort and ease as their survivalist father prepares for catastrophe.

Those suffering from the illness, doctors discover, are displaying uncommon degrees of brain activity, higher than has have you been recorded before. These are fantasizing heightened dreams-but of what?

Written in luminous prose, The Dreamers is normally a breathtaking and gorgeous novel, startling and provocative, about the possibilities included within a human life-if only we are awakened to them.
