Tales: The Dreamcore Stories
The Dreamcore Stories.
Did you dream too deeply? ' The Dreamcore Stories' hauls readers into worlds both like and unlike our own, a reality that isn’t reality and a dream that threatens something much more, and much deeper, than even the deepest sleep.
‘ The Dreamcore Stories’ is the latest addition to the internationally best-selling series and social media phenomenon ‘Tales.’ Told from the perspective of a dreamer trapped in a deep and seemingly inescapable dream, it includes over 40 stories and illustrations. For lovers of the liminal, dreamcore, weirdcore and oddcore, these tales are universally resonant for anybody who has ever felt that reality isn’t quite as it seems.
From warped recreations of your “home,” internet cafes where dreamers are trapped scrolling for eternity and sinister metro stations where trains only lead deeper into the dream, to an arcade where you can replay past moments of your life, warehouse raves where the music blasts away thoughts and a sinister Singing Lady whose songs lure dreamers out of reality, ‘ The Dreamcore Stories’ is eerie, nostalgic and somehow familiar.
All Tales are illustrated with full-colour, full-page images.
With over 30 million views across TikTok and Instagram, Tales is loved by readers around the world.

Can you survive the cunning tricks of the various dreamcore levels? If you read this book you just may have a better chance of it.
This was an interesting reading experience. I really enjoy the whole liminal space, dreamcore, backrooms, type vibes and this fit into that really well. It was unsettling and also intriguing with its rhythm of explaining the various joys and discomforts of each level of the dream.
To me this didn’t feel like a compilation of stories but more so an informational explanation of the levels of the dreamcore experience that takes place in the short story that comes at the very end of the book.
Definitely read this if you’re looking for a quick way into those deep dreamcore vibes.

A fascinating collection of succinct stories that are consistently terrifying and often subtly thought-provoking. The illustrations that are present in the paperback and hardcover versions add an extra edge to deeply unsettling stories.
