She taught herself to lucid dream, and created a fantasy world where she could be and do whatever she wanted. She imagined herself a heroine, and weaved a story around herself. She was a princess in a magical world.
For years, her dreams were good. But gradually the intensity of her quests increased. She found herself sleeping later but getting less rest.
Her health began to suffer. She went to a psychologist, who proscribed medication for dreamless sleep.
After a week, her companions made the perilous journey to the Waking World to find out why their leader had abandoned them.
