Dream Commune

What if you could share consciousness with two hundred people?

Sera joins The Confluence — a navigational commune where individual boundaries dissolve into collective warmth. The warmth is golden, genuine, intoxicating. The belonging is total. The love is unconditional. For the first time in her life, Sera is not alone.

But the warmth has a cost. The edges of individual identity soften. Preferences disappear. Opinions merge. And when the commune's charismatic founder dies, the collective discovers that its foundation was a person rather than a principle — and that the golden warmth was not shared equally but provided by one consciousness and consumed by two hundred.

A novel about intimacy, dissolution, and the discovery that the boundary between self and other is not a limitation but a gift. Dream Commune is the eighth novel in The Navigations.
