"Everything is possible in a dream" 

The book was like a deep dive into the subconscious dream world - calming, cozy, and captivating all at once. The Dallergut Dream Department Store follows Penny as she interviews and becomes an employee of the infamous dream store, with each chapter detailing the people she meets during her time there and the little journeys that customers go on in their dreams. 

This book was different in the fact that there wasn't really a grand overarching plot. The stream of consciousness writing style with each chapter following a different character, dream scenario, or deep conversation about dreams was unique but sometimes confusing - much like dreams themselves.

It was a little rough to start as I tried to figure out the dream world dynamics but once I got reading I couldn't stop. I think this is going to be one of those love it or hate it books but I definitely enjoyed the journey.
