A mysterious illness breaks out on a college campus that causes those infected to fall into a coma-like sleep and have vivid psychic dreams. The story is told from too many POVs including a college student, a doomsday prepper family in town, and one of the doctors treating the infected. I didn't connect to or find any of the characters compelling. It was a little too slow-paced for me and focused too much on the study of the disease.
