Discover the award-winning debut novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists, a “majestic collision of sci-fi thriller and love story” (Bustle) about a young woman struggling with questions of love, trust, and ethics as the line between dreams and reality dangerously blurs. When Sylvie Patterson, a bookish student at a Northern California boarding school, falls in love with a spirited, elusive classmate named Gabe, they embark on an experiment that changes their lives. Their headmaster, Dr. Adrian Keller, is a charismatic medical researcher who has staked his career on the therapeutic potential of lucid dreaming: by teaching his patients to become conscious during sleep, he believes he can relieve stress and trauma. Over the next six years, Sylvie and Gabe become consumed by Keller’s work, following him across the country. But when an opportunity brings the trio to the Midwest, Sylvie and Gabe stumble into a tangled relationship with their mysterious neighbors—and Sylvie begins to doubt the ethics of Keller’s research. As she navigates the hazy, permeable boundaries between what is real and what isn’t, who can be trusted and who cannot, Sylvie also faces surprising developments in herself—an unexpected infatuation, growing paranoia, and a new sense of rebellion. With stirring, elegant prose, “Chloe Benjamin has crafted an eerie, compelling first novel which, like the lingering effects of a vivid dream, resonates long past its finish” (Karen Brown, The Longings of Wayward Girls).

RELIGIOUS OSMOSIS is information for people that are religious, spiritual and non-religious. This book shows how human unconscious behavioral patterns combine with different doctrines to affect our relationships with friends, family, partners and people of different faiths—and how to improve those ties. Learn how the human mind constructs different dreaming processes, including non-emotional and emotional visions, and how these processes intertwine with historical doctrines. See the psychological effects of the misunderstood human processes that arise when dreaming and falling asleep (called hypnagogic experiences) and as you are waking (hypnopompic experiences). Religious Osmosis details how humans form certain truths to construct a personal reality, and how these inner truths can link together and strengthen other beliefs. Learn how to look for these inner truths inside yourself and others, and notice how you can alter these inner truths and their self defence mechanisms. In Religious Osmosis, you will learn how emotion affects REM processes as much as our thoughts do, how we have unknowingly preprogram our dreams, and how to intentionally preprogram your dreaming processes. You’ll be able to gain more control in the hypnagogic dream states and remove any fear of sleep paralysis, seeing faces or hearing noises as you fall asleep. The book also provides an advanced fatigue management system to assist in keeping motorists on the road and pilots in the skies. Understand yourself and others by strengthening your inner and outer connections through religious osmosis.
