HYPNOPHILIA
When dreams are no longer private
A Novel that Questions Reality

About the Author
David Núñez Carrasco is a Catalan psychological thriller author. HIPNOFÍLIA is his first novel, a deep exploration of the boundaries between dream and reality.
"I haven't always known when I was sleeping. There are nights that begin before closing your eyes, and days that don't end when the body gets up from bed."
"“…To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub, for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause…”"
