war of dreams fiction books

They often have complex plots. The war aspect means there are battles, strategies, and power struggles. For example, in a typical 'war of dreams' book, there could be different factions fighting for control. The 'dreams' part can bring in elements of the supernatural or the psychological. Characters' dreams might reveal secrets or future events.

Another one might be 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. There are constant wars and power struggles. Although not as directly about 'dreams' in a literal sense as some, the hopes and aspirations (which can be considered like dreams) of the various characters fuel the wars and political machinations in the series.

In science fiction, a 'War of Dreams' could symbolize the struggle between different ideologies or mental constructs. For example, it could be the conflict between the dreams of a utopian future and the nightmares of a dystopian one. This war might be fought not with physical weapons but with ideas, propaganda, and mental manipulation within the dream world.

One characteristic is the use of surreal elements. Since dreams often have illogical and strange happenings, books about them in fiction may include things like talking animals or floating islands. For example, in 'Peter Pan', Neverland is a place full of such dream - like elements.

Maybe there's a story where an alien race has a different way of dreaming and when they come into contact with humans, their dreams start to merge in a chaotic way. This causes a 'War of Dreams' as both species struggle to regain control of their own dreamscapes. It could involve the exploration of how different species' consciousnesses interact within the realm of dreams.

The Great Gatsby can be considered in a way. Gatsby's grand dream of winning Daisy back is a central theme. His lavish parties and his unwavering pursuit of this dream, despite the odds, is a complex exploration of how dreams can both drive and ultimately destroy a person. It shows the power of a dream held onto too tightly in a fictional and very poignant way.

One great book is 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho. It's a fictional story where the main character Santiago chases his dreams, and his journey is filled with lessons about following one's dreams. His dream of finding a treasure leads him on an adventure across deserts and meeting various people who shape his understanding of his own dreams.

Another good one for World War 2 is 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut. It's a semi - autobiographical novel that jumps around in time and space. It shows the absurdity of war through the experiences of Billy Pilgrim, a soldier who becomes 'unstuck in time'.

'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' by Dr. Seuss. It's a simple yet profound book that encourages readers to pursue their dreams and face the challenges that come along the way. It's written in Dr. Seuss's unique and engaging style.

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle also fits. The protagonist, Meg, embarks on a journey through different dimensions to save her father. Her adventures are like a dream exploration of space, time, and the power of love and self - belief.
