    During a hiking trip with their parents in the mountains of California, cousins Owen, Vivian, and Amy are finally allowed to camp for one night at a little lake all on their own. But when a massive earthquake blocks their return path, there’s only one way home: the long way around, through a wilderness filled with fierce animals, raging rivers, unstable weather, and high passes. 
 
However, the hardest challenges the cousins face are the troubles they’ve brought with them: bold Vivian’s fear of starting middle school (and of things she can’t control); Owen’s lingering emotional scars from a car accident, which have left him feeling like there’s a glass wall between him and the rest of the world; and Amy’s desire to live in fantastical stories rather than in boring regular life. 
 
Drawing on courage and humor, the cousins must weather storms, make the most of dwindling rations, and face their deepest fears in order to bring each other safely home.

    Dreams have long been a source of fascination, wonder, and mystery. From ancient civilizations to modern psychology, dreams have been viewed as gateways to hidden realms of consciousness, offering profound insight into our minds, emotions, and even our futures. In this book, we explore the concept of "Oneiric Omnipotence" — the untapped, infinite potential that lies within our dreams, waiting to be harnessed. Dreams are not merely random, nonsensical sequences; they are powerful tools that can be consciously shaped and used to unlock the vast reserves of our mind's creative and transformative capabilities. 
The power of dreams lies in their ability to transcend the boundaries of our waking reality. In the world of dreams, the ordinary rules of time, space, and logic no longer apply. The dream state offers a limitless canvas for exploring alternate realities, confronting hidden fears, and visualizing our deepest desires. It is a realm where the impossible becomes possible, and the mind has the freedom to expand beyond its usual confines. Yet, this boundless potential remains largely untapped for many, simply because we often lack the awareness and tools to navigate it.
