The Dream World
Lesley entered the dream world for the first time the night after the accident. She fell asleep in her hospital room with the aid of painkillers and woke up to find she could walk again.
It is common for people to have their first experience of the dream world after an unexpected trauma. The sudden vulnerability allows them to touch aspects of reality our minds try to keep hidden.
Our greatest heroes are usually those who navigate the dangers of the dream world and become something greater than they were.
Lesley was not one of those. She died almost immediately.
