  In a magical land of dreams, a friendly baby dragon named Simba, with scales of gold and sapphire eyes, embarks on nightly adventures with children. He flies them to wondrous places, from starry galaxies to enchanted forests, filling their sleep with joy and wonder. However, their happiness is threatened by the wicked sorcerer Malakar, who, consumed by jealousy, attempts to poison Simba's pure heart with doubt and fear. Malakar whispers venomous lies, trying to convince Simba that his dream-weaving is a pointless exercise in a world full of waking sorrow. 
  But Simba’s innocence and the love of the children he befriends prove to be a shield that Malakar’s darkness cannot penetrate. When the sorcerer’s attempts to corrupt Simba fail, he resorts to more direct and dangerous attacks on the dream world itself. In a climactic battle, Simba, with the help of his powerful parents, Falkor and Katla, confronts Malakar and his monstrous creations. Drawing strength from the love and hope of the children, Simba unleashes a powerful beam of golden light, vanquishing the darkness and restoring peace to the dream world. The story is a testament to the power of love, hope, and innocence in overcoming darkness and despair, reminding children that their dreams are a source of strength and courage in their waking lives.

  The Missing Room by Lynn Venable - It was a dream house; yet the dream could have been a nightmare... 
  From the low cruising helicar, the cottage appeared charming. Lorinda gave a little exclamation of delight and exclaimed breathlessly, "Oh, that one, Dyke. Please, we must look at that one.” 
  The helicar was only about a hundred feet from the ground, and they could easily see the "For Sale” sign on the green lawn. Dyke guided the helicar down onto the landing strip beside the attached copterport. The cottage certainly had the most modern conveniences. 
  They stepped out, Dyke assisting Lorinda from the helicar with all the self-conscious solicitude of a brand new husband. They stood for a moment on the neat little postage stamp of a lawn, arm in arm. 
  The cottage was different from the others on the block, it was similar in its contemporary design, its just-for-two smallness, but still, it was different. It seemed to radiate charm out of all proportion to its physical aspects, as sometimes a relatively unattractive person will, for no reason you can put your finger on, be utterly irresistible. 
  "I wonder if it’s open?” asked Lorinda. "There’s one way to find out,” answered Dyke. After a token rap on the door, he twisted the knob. The door opened quietly inward. 
  "Oh, Dyke, should we?’’
