HOW MUCH WOULD YOU SACRIFICE FOR LOVE?
When Matthew Willish wakes up on a cold steel floor unsure of how he got there, he begins desperately searching for answers. What Matthew doesn't realize, however, is that this is only the beginning of a journey that will ultimately send him searching other worlds for the answer to numerous profound questions, the most pressing being: is he living in reality or in a dream? Or is he just an insane man who desperately needs help? A Dream of Waking Life is a philosophical and psychological thriller that tells the story of one man's journey through space, time, and mind to not only discover his true identity but also the love of his life—a woman who keeps slipping through his fingers and into another reality. A thought-provoking meditation on the thin line between what is real and what is not, A Dream of Waking Life will leave readers questioning how far they would go to understand the nature of their own existence and how much they would sacrifice for love.
"This is the kind of story I wish I could read more. I've been chasing the high of a well thought out mind bender since I first saw Donnie Darko. E. S. Fein really nails it...Buckle up and open your mind. You're about to go for a reality bending ride." - Author Derek Lukachko
"I'm speechless. I just finished the book and I'm sobbing like a baby...this book goes DEEP into what it means to be alive, to exist, to be real, and to wonder what reality really is. And it also contains a wonderful love story at its heart...A truly remarkably and riveting experience from first page to the last." - Author Nikki Rollins
"From start to finish, there's no time to let up. A Dream of Waking Life will pull you into the labyrinthine layers of Matthew Willish's twisted mind, searching ever deeper for Truth, Love and the Real World. With mild notes that call to mind such warks as Inception and Vanilla Sky, E. S. Fein expertly crafts a series of worlds within worlds within worlds to explore and ponder. You will hit the ground running (and then the ground will be elsewhere, upside down, fracturing in myriad directions) and search desperately alongside Matthew for handholds in the pursuit of the One Thing That Matters." - Author I. B. Hippe
"A thought-provoking, thrilling read and page-turner! There are plenty of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat as you progress through the book. If you love psychological sci-fi thrillers and lovable characters, I highly recommend this book!" - Author E. L. Li
"An extremely impressive exploration of the mind, life, and everything in between." - Author Denis Moreau
"Wow! E. S. Fein's story...had me riding a roller coaster of emotions." - Author Ivan Scott
"This book is an incredible and well thought sci-fi story. The narration is well crafted and so different from other books of the same genre." - Author Debaruna Ghosh
"Fein writes from years of experience living in and manipulating dreams, and though A Dream of Waking Life's narrative is fantastical, it also stems from a groundwork of very real phenomena. For those who don't dream much it may seem confusing or disjointed (although it also may be alien and fascinating--perhaps this book will inspire you to explore the world of lucid dreaming more). For those who are already immersed in these concepts, no other book I've read utilizes them to such an accurate extent...There's a universality to this book that connects all humans." - Reddit Review
"A mix between Lathe of Heaven, Inception, and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. I simply could never have foreseen this story's trajectory. What a heartrending yet satisfying and impressive journey! A love story, mystery, grand philosophy, incredible suspense--A Dream of Waking Life stands in a category of its own." - Reader Review
"You will be questioning your own sanity as you continue down the rabbit hole...would make Philip K. Dick proud." - Reader Review”
