The Cure for Dreaming

The historical context adds so much depth and tension, but I'm curious whether the author drew on personal history or research to craft this setting.

The idea that dreams could be manipulated or weaponized made me think about how much control we really have over our minds. Was that meant to be a commentary on society or psychology?

The mix of real history with supernatural aspects felt seamless, but I wonder if that was a conscious choice to enhance the story’s atmosphere or if it evolved naturally.
