Dr. Elena Burroughs, professor of psychology and author of a
controversial book on dream analysis, is trying to get her chaotic life back in
order. The last thing she needs
are nightmares – dreams of imminent world-wide financial anarchy. Visions so disturbing that upon waking
she has the overwhelming desire to warn anyone who will listen. But what is
even more disquieting is that she is not the only one having these same visions. Several other people around the globe
are waking up in terror, driven by the insatiable need to warn the world.
Indeed the dreams are proving prophetic. As banks close and economic upheaval ensues, Elena finds herself
the spokesperson for the dreamers.
But as a believer in Christ and a believer in dreams that can be prophetic,
the question foremost in her mind is - are these dreams divine in origin or
from a more carnal source, a source with eyes on a global power grab?
Davis Bunn’s latest offering Hidden In Dreams is a psychological thriller with an end-times
slant. The plot places itself in
diverse arenas such as the pharmaceutical industries, economic institutes, and
the field of psychology. Although
the pacing is tense throughout, it is not action driven by car chases or
gunplay. It is cerebral in nature
– a cat and mouse (or dreamer and
deceiver) game played out on an international stage.
The heroine and her love interest are both devoted
Christians, and through them, Bunn brings to the fore the necessity of trusting
scripture over signs and wonders.
A valid point well executed.
Hidden In Dreams
is an intriguing novel that doesn’t seem too far removed from today’s
headlines. It is an intellectually
gripping yarn that will not leave you yawning.
