For young adults, 'The Hunger Games' can be seen as a kind of dream novel. Katniss' journey through the brutal yet glamorous Hunger Games is like a nightmare - turned - dream of survival and revolution. 'The Fault in Our Stars' also has a dream - like quality in the way Hazel and Gus' relationship unfolds, a beautiful but poignant dream. Another great one is 'Divergent' which takes young readers into a dystopian world where Tris' journey of self - discovery is like a coming - of - age dream within a complex society.
One of the best dream novels for young adults is 'Ender's Game'. Ender's training and his experiences in the battle school are like a complex dream of growth and leadership. 'Thirteen Reasons Why' has a dream - like quality in how Clay is haunted by Hannah's tapes, as if he's living in a nightmare - like dream trying to understand her reasons. 'The Giver' is also a great choice. Jonas' discovery of the true nature of his seemingly perfect community is like waking up from a false dream into a more complex reality.
