In My Dreams — Beth Mitchum

"I sensed the thrill of a stolen moment as my fingers brushed back a lock of auburn hair that had fallen in front of her left eye. I cupped her face in my hand, gently tilting it up towards mine so that our eyes met. I saw in them a passion that seemed to echo the intensity I was experiencing and was thus emboldened to make the first move. When my lips landed softly on hers, I felt a surge of excitement and danger." Where do you draw the line between fantasy and reality? Are you responsible for the content of your dreams? What about when your dreams begin to spill over into your waking hours? For months, Jill, a twenty-something lesbian, had been daydreaming about her sexy, Latina co-worker, Marie. Interesting things start to happen when her night dreaming begins to involve nocturnal trysts with her fantasy paramour. When the women discover they are having the same dreams, they raise the stakes on their telepathically shared nightlife. Their dream world shatters when Marie's nocturnal passion overflows into her daytime relationship with her violent, sexually addicted husband. In My Dreams illustrates the blurring of boundaries we experience when we enter the world of our dreams. It also reminds us that there are always consequences when we begin to act consciously on that inner world of the dreaming mind. Sometimes those consequences are harder than anyone could have anticipated.
