I really hate it when characters in books fall asleep and dream. The dream sequences are almost always boring and unnecessary, just the author weakly rehashing the character’s feelings and experiences as a segue to the next action scene. What’s even worse is when a secondary character falls asleep just because the author doesn’t seem to know what to do with her in the scene. This actually happened in the book I started reading last night, Rediscovery: A Novel of Darkover by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mercedes Lackey. It damn near put me to sleep, too.
