Overview: “ . . . if I’d known what lay ahead, I would never have slept again.”

On July 23, 1587, England established its first permanent North American settlement on Roanoke Island in present day North Carolina. Barely a month later, the colony’s deteriorating circumstances forced Governor John White to return to England for additional supplies and colonists. However, war with Spain preempted his return until 1590, when upon his arrival, he discovered the colony had vanished.

Four hundred twenty-five years ago, the “Lost Colony of Roanoke” became the most vexing and enduring mystery in American history—a mystery that lives on today. Dangerous Dreams is the story of what might have happened to the Colony; told in the personal, exciting, and frequently terrifying manner in which it surely occurred. Far more than a footnote to history, the historical saga mysteriously unfolds through the lifelike dreams of twenty-first century psychology PhD candidate Allie O'Shay, who after her dreams continue like a TV mini-series, night after night, deduces she's dreaming the gripping story of the Lost Colony. But Allie’s dreams do far more than witness—they emotionally entwine her with a young colonist named Emily Colman to whom she develops a strange, compelling closeness.

Shortly after the governor’s departure—the last instant of known Roanoke history—hostile relations with the nearby Indians and imminent starvation force the colonists to consider leaving Roanoke Island. But where can they go? Their charter from Sir Walter Raleigh is for the Chesapeake Bay area to the north; yet, the river to their west offers a far shorter, but more dangerous passage—it’s populated by hostile Indian tribes antagonized by an earlier, English military expedition.

As the colonists weigh their options, two suitors seek Emily’s favor; the powerful Powhatan tribe plans the colony’s demise and mounts an attack on a group of colonists that includes Emily; and four warriors from a tribe to the distant north—a land of many lakes—make their way toward the coast to trade with tribes near the colony. Ill fortune relentlessly hounds the colonists as they depart Roanoke Island, and they soon realize their new circumstances are more precarious than those they escaped. As the colony struggles for survival against mounting odds and internal conflict, Emily falls desperately in love with a new, unlikely suitor, confronts terrifying demands and actions from a spurned suitor, and ultimately, faces an agonizing decision.

Increasingly distraught, Allie follows the Lost Colony and Emily as they march inexorably toward their destinies. Desperate to understand the genesis and verity of her dreams, she probes the depths of modern dream science with the help of a world-renowned dream scientist who helps her formulate a theoretical explanation and validation plan that will employ leading-edge neuroimagery. But as the colony’s prospects dim, Allie discovers there may be far more to her bond with the Lost Colony and Emily Colman than she could ever have imagined; and as she sinks into depression her emotional fusion with Emily prompts her addiction to the dreams and resultant behavior that threatens her own survival.
