Dream
Student
The
Dream Doctor Mysteries Prequel
by
J.J. DiBenedetto
Genre:
Paranormal Mystery
Sara
Barnes has her life totally under control. All she has to worry about
is college exams, Christmas shopping, applying to medical school--and
what to do about the cute freshman who has a crush on her. And
everything is going according to plan, until the night she starts
dreaming other people's dreams.
It's
bad enough that every night is a theater of her friends' and
classmates' secret fantasies. Worse yet are the other dreams, the
dark ones featuring a strange, terrifying man committing unspeakable
crimes.
As
the nightmares increase, Sara's life becomes a blur of waking and
sleeping, of terror and urgency. Because if she was given this
dream-sharing gift for a reason, it must be to stop the killer madman
she's come to know all too well. But how can she stop him when she's
just a student, and they're only dreams?
Dream

Dream
Doctor
The
Dream Doctor Mysteries Book 1
Between
adjusting to life as a newlywed and trying to survive the first month
of medical school, Sara Alderson has a lot on her plate. She
definitely doesn’t need to start visiting other people’s dreams
again. Unfortunately for her, it’s happening anyway.
Every
night, she sees a different person and a different dream. But every
dreamer has one thing in common: they all hate Dr. Morris, the least
popular professor in the medical school, and they’re all dreaming
about seeing him – or making him – dead.
Once
again, Sara finds herself in the role of unwilling witness to a
murder before it happens. But this time, there are too many suspects
to count, and it doesn’t help matters that she hates Dr. Morris
every bit as much as any of his would-be murderers do.

Dream Doctor Mysteries Book 2
Dr.
Sara Alderson can deal with eighty-hour workweeks as a resident at
Children’s Hospital. Dealing with crises in the Emergency Room or
the OR is second nature to her. But now she faces a challenge that
all of her training and experience hasn’t prepared her for: Lizzie,
her four-year-old daughter, has inherited her ability to see other
people’s dreams.
After
Lizzie befriends a young boy on a trip to Washington, DC, and then
wakes up in a panic that night because of a “bad funny dream,”
Sara knows exactly what it means: her daughter is visiting the boy’s
dreams. Complicating matters is the fact that the boy’s father is a
Congressman, and he’s dreaming about a “scary man in a big black
car” threatening his Daddy.
Unraveling
a case of political corruption and blackmail would be hard enough for
Sara under the best of circumstances. But when she has to view
everything through the eyes of a toddler, it may be an impossible
task.

The
Dream Doctor Mysteries Book 3
Dr.
Sara Alderson didn’t think she had a problem in the world, when she
walked into the office for her first day as a partner in her own
medical practice. And then the police showed up and arrested her for
a crime she couldn’t possibly have committed. Twenty four hours
later, after a horrifying day and night in jail, Sara comes home a
different – and completely broken – woman.
Clearing
her name is her first challenge, but that’s nothing compared to the
task of rebuilding her shattered psyche. And the only way she can do
that is with the help of the supernatural dreams, the same dreams
that have nearly cost Sara her sanity – and almost got her killed –
in the past.
Waking
Dream
The
Dream Doctor Mysteries Book 4
After
nearly a decade of visiting other people’s dreams, Sara Alderson
thought she had made peace with her supernatural gift. Until one
night, while watching her husband dream, she saw someone else
watching him, too: a mysterious woman in a red dress.
The
woman in red keeps appearing in the dreams of Sara’s husband and
his co-workers. Sara doesn’t know if this mystery woman is trying
to steal her husband, drive him mad or something even worse. All she
does know is that now she has something she never imagined: a
nemesis. And the only thing more dangerous than a nemesis who shares
her ability to step into other people’s dreams, is one who knows
far more about that ability and how to control it than Sara does.

his dreams, and he’s coming closer and closer to committing a
desperate act to try and save his business. Sara’s the only one who
can save him, and his family – if she can figure out who he is and
what he’s planning in time.

GUEST POST
My Favorite Scene
There are ten books in the Dream Doctor
Mysteries, and something close to a million words in all, and I’m
proud of all of it. But if I had to pick one scene that’s my
favorite, I have to go back to the first book.
To set things up, our heroine Sara is
in her first month of medical school, and her first three months of
marriage. She’s living with her husband in the married student
housing on campus, and next door to them is another couple – Mike
and Barbara, a pair of law students whose marriage is not on terribly
solid ground.
The premise of the series, the reason
it’s called the Dream Doctor Mysteries, is that Sara has a unique
talent. She can see other people’s dreams. And in the leadup to
the scene I’m about to share, Sara sees Barbara’s dream. Sara
already knows that Barbara is unhappy with her husband, and with good
reason (it’s student housing, so as you’d imagine, the walls are
not very thick and Sara can hear all their arguments very clearly).
Barbara is dreaming about another man,
a better man than her husband. Unfortunately, the better man she’s
chosen to fixate on is Sara’s husband. And for the first time in
her whole relationship with her husband, Sara finds herself feeling
jealous, and threatened. Especially because Barbara is tall and
blonde and “well endowed,” three things that Sara herself is not.
As you’ll see below, Sara does not handle her jealousy especially
well:
“Get out of my room, you whore!”
I hear myself shouting at someone, but who? There’s nobody here.
Brian’s in the shower, I can hear the water going. And why would I
call him a whore? That makes no sense.
Not Brian. I was dreaming. I saw –
God, I saw Barbara! The woman who lives next door to us. The
married woman who lives next door to us. I saw
her dream. And she was dreaming about seducing Brian. “Whore”
is far too good a word for her.
She's dreaming about my husband. My
husband! Who the hell does she think she is? She's got her own
husband! She should be dreaming about him, not Brian. Granted, I
think her husband is an ass and I’m pretty sure she does too, but
still. She can't have mine!
This is very strange. I can't
remember ever feeling jealous like this before. But then again,
before Brian I never had anybody worth being jealous over. I know
this is completely irrational. I have nothing whatsoever to worry
about. I'm in his heart and I always will be. Me and nobody else.
Especially if last night was anything to go by.
Still, I’m going to keep a close
eye on her. And if she so much as puts a hand on him, I'll cut her
heart out. I know how to do it, too. I’ve been reading ahead -
the instructions are right there in Grant's Dissector.

I think I’ll mark the page with a
post-it note. Just in case.
