This story weaves together elements of autobiography, biography, dream journals, and imagination to create a unique adventure that explores the impact of family discord and enduring trauma. It’s a tale about resilience, self-discovery, and the extraordinary power of dreams.

Billy, a boy who was never expected to be born, faces a childhood filled with hardship and trauma. From struggles with his mother, brother, and sisters to the heartbreak of losing family connections, these experiences shape the foundation of his journey. Amid the chaos, Billy stumbles upon a hidden realm—the world of dreams.

In this magical place, he meets new allies, embarks on incredible adventures, and unlocks mysterious gifts that help him grow both physically and emotionally. The dream realm, and especially the City of Dreams, becomes a refuge where Billy learns to process the pain of his waking life. These dreams help him find strength and hope as he copes with the trauma in his family, the loss of loved ones, and his quest to define himself.

This is a story about overcoming pain, discovering inner power, and finding healing in the most unexpected places—even in the world of dreams.
