About this ebook
When dream becomes reality . . .
Lucid Dreaming, the brain child of a computer nerd and his rich friend, needs a guinea pig. Someone who doesn't mind having their brain probed, monitored, and analyzed.
Borden desperately needs the money and happily volunteers. But the money soon becomes unimportant and the dreaming all that matters.
Dreaming that takes him wherever he wants to go.
Until the day he goes too far.
A sci-fi short story, Dream World begs the question–What is real and what is the dream?
Charley Marsh
In her younger days Charley Marsh’s curiosity drove her to climb mountains, canoe rivers, and explore caves and wilderness areas from Maine to California. She's been shot at, caught in a desert flash flood, and almost drowned off the Maine coast. Once she tobogganed down a 5,000+ foot mountain. Life is always an adventure if you have the right attitude. Charley never set out to be a storyteller, but looking back on the elaborate lies she made up as a troubled teen she can see that she always had the makings. Now, in the immortal words of Lawrence Block, she happily “makes up lies for fun and profit.” If you would like information regarding Charley’s new releases or simply want to contact Charley visit: https://charleymarshbooks.com/

Dream World - Charley Marsh
Lucid Dreaming, Inc.
TAKE CONTROL of YOUR DREAMS!
The weakly lit sign cast a dim arc of light over the alley door. Borden pulled his old, rusted Subaru into the parking spot next to the brick wall of the renovated warehouse and killed his headlights. He sat for a moment, unmoving, and took a few deep breaths to calm his jittery nerves.
Tonight was the night he would attempt to go deeper into his dream world than he had ever gone before.
His two partners in the cutting edge company—Allen Joy, a computer-nerd who specialized in brain wave research, and Mark Blackstone, a wealthy student of philosophy—were unaware of the possibilities that lucid dreaming presented.
Mark provided the funding for Lucid Dreaming, Inc. and only cared about making it profitable. Allen invented the computer programs and equipment that were the backbone of their newly fledged business and only cared that it all worked.
Borden was the lab rat, the one whose brain was probed and stimulated, monitored and decoded, every tiny blip recorded and analyzed. He had volunteered because he desperately needed the money. Now the money barely mattered.
He looked at his watch, a hi-tech personal computer that did everything for him except shovel food into his mouth. A signing-on gift from Mark, it was Borden’s only possession that was not worthy of the rubbish heap.
Right now the watch was telling him he was one and one half minutes late for tonight’s test. That wouldn’t do. He might be poor and lacking in academic credentials, but he prided himself on his gentlemanly manners and being responsible. Responsible meant showing up on time for work.
