introduction

There were two type of dreams that a person could have, and nearly everyone experienced both on a daily basis. 

The first type of dream was a figurative thing that a person desired more then anything and fought for in their waking hours. For some people, this type of dream consisted of the desire to become rich, while other people hoped to surround themselves with family. Either way, this type of dream was something that a person knew they wanted and would move heaven and hell to make this dream come true. 

The second type of dream was the kind that occurred while a person was asleep. Many people had different theories of what made these dreams happen and what they meant, but the only thing known for sure about this second type of dream is that it was a concoction of images a person throws together as they fall into a deep sleep. 

For most of his life, Leo Thomas hadn't been one for dreaming. It was rare to find himself experiencing either type of dreaming, which most people would've found odd. Leo, however, just found avoiding having dreams practical. It was how he and his best friend, Brady Elliot, had learned to survive the street of New Orleans when they were younger. Leo didn't have major life aspirations that he pursued while he was  awake, nor did he tend to have little fantasy's spreading through his imagination when he fell asleep. While the former was mostly due to his lack of hope he had for both himself and humanity as a whole, the latter was probably a result of the fact that he hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep in years. 

Leo was perfectly fine with his life being void of dreaming. He didn't care that other then bar-tending and listening to Brady playing the trumpet, he had nothing else going for him. That could be all his life ever consisted of and he couldn't make himself care enough to change that. He couldn't bring himself to risking it all for the sake of a dream. 

However, fate seemed to have a different life in mind for Leo. After nineteen years without any dreams to fill the empty bits of Leo, he was suddenly immersed by both type of dreams. While he slept, he was forced to live out the same vision again and again of the horrors in New Orleans that nobody else seemed to see. Then, in his waking hours, Leo found himself constantly day-dreaming about a girl he'd met in tears at a coffee shop. Leo still couldn't decide which dream was more dangerous to life as he knew it.
