What do our dreams reveal—and what do they try to hide? Paradoxical Dreamworld: When Sleep Isn’t Really Sleep is a haunting and heartfelt journey through the subconscious, exploring the surreal, tender, and terrifying landscape of dreaming. From the gentle calm of sleep to the harsh grip of nightmare disorder, this book unravels what it means to be captive to the mind when it's most unguarded . Blending softness with shadows, each story explores the emotional depths of the dream world—some gentle and soothing, most chaotic, guided by survival mode. This is more than a collection of experiences. It's a reckoning. A reflection. A hand extended to anyone who’s ever feared falling asleep or found strange beauty in the chaos of dreams. Written from a deeply personal place, this book doesn’t shy away from darkness - it walks into it willingly, inviting you to do the same. Because healing doesn’t happen in silence. It happens when we speak. When we write. When we dare to dream again. For anyone who’s ever felt lost in sleep—or trapped in a nightmare you couldn’t escape—this story is for you.
