    This is an experimental, serious drama, not a typical wish-fulfillment story, not a system-based novel, and not mainstream. There are no real romantic pairings, only people who pass each other by. It features a single female lead early on, but expands to include an ensemble cast later. It combines supernatural abilities and dream-based science fiction with psychological reasoning and an imaginative, gothic suspense style. It incorporates hardcore knowledge of psychology, literary theory, and scientific theory (a wide range of interests), and has dystopian undertones. It involves multiple worlds, including dreams and reality, past, present, near future, far future, and the cosmology of consciousness. The story will be very long; currently at 270,000 words, it will reach at least 2 million words.
