Soon, more students succumb, and panic spreads. As the town is quarantined, those infected sleep deeply — experiencing vivid, luminous dreams — while those still awake grapple with fear, isolation, and the fragility of everything they thought they knew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtmospheric and thought-provoking, \u003cem\u003eThe Dreamers\u003c\/em\u003e is a mesmerising exploration of consciousness, contagion, and human connection. Walker’s prose is luminous and deliberately dreamlike — a novel that lingers long after the final page.
