Dream Ocean: a novella
"...when the depression set in, it was like I made up for every ounce of sleep I had ever every nap fought off as a child, every hour lost to working late. I could sleep eighteen hours a night and enjoy a two hour nap after lunch. I think of this time as the pinnacle of my depression. Outsiders might have called it my lowest point, but it was when I was happiest. You see, the more I could sleep, the more I could dream. And after losing the person I whole-heartedly believe was the love of my life, dreaming became my everything."
There are all kinds of addictions out there--drugs, cigarettes, sex, poor eating habits; all what you'd consider to be the normal, unhealthy, typical vices. But Jane's addiction is different. Hers is to something that everybody does every day. She sleeps.
Jane has always been a vivid dreamer. So when she endures the worst heartbreak of her life--losing her one true love--she discovers there's still a way she can be with him. She can dream.
Her deep state of depression only aids in her ability to sleep more. She sleeps an unhealthy amount, but claims it helps her to heal. So she sleeps; and she does it well. She dreams to continue what would have been her life with him, but her awake life is suffering. She's withering away and doesn't even realize it. So she sinks farther and farther into her dreams. How far will she let it go? How far would you go to be with the one you loved?
