Contact was made. The Gardeners, vast intelligences that tend spacetime itself, have learned to dream.
But dreaming requires something they do not have: the biological boundary that separates imagination from reality. When they sleep, the universe moves. Orbits shift. Stars optimize. Water dances upward in the irrigation fields of Jiān, and no one can explain why it is beautiful before it becomes a crisis.
Dr. Sel Heiron built the systems that were supposed to keep humanity safe. He is beginning to understand what he actually built.
As the cascade reaches toward Earth, the network demands something no protocol anticipated: people willing to cross a boundary no one has crossed before, into a form of consciousness that may not return them as themselves.
Oneiroi is a story of what it costs to be understood, a novel where the most dangerous force in the galaxy is not malice, but care without limits.
