* {{Neologism}}: From Page 35, "Her eyes saucericize."

A {{Web Serial Novel}} about a high school that takes place in a shared lucid {{Dream Land}}. Similar to a {{Choose Your Own Adventure}} except that new pages are uploaded (mostly) bi-weekly and it's more of a choose-''our''-own-adventure- you decide with other readers what happens next through events ranging from majority rules, to raffle, to everybody affecting the character's emotions.

The story starts out with you reading the welcome sign quoted above. [[TheyJustDontGetIt You don't understand it]], even when you see students flying and racing invisible cars to the school building. Over time you meet several students and get hints as to what the school's all about.

After the latest page you're given several options to choose from. That event eventually closes and the story is locked down a certain path based on reader input. Readers can also win rewards so that they can affect the story more- for instance, by giving the author a sentence that they must use in the story.

The novel is available [[https://storieslc.com/dhs/ on this website]].

A {{Web Serial Novel}} about a high school that takes place in a shared lucid {{Dream Land}}. Similar to a {{Choose Your Own Adventure}} except that new pages are uploaded (mostly) bi-weekly and what you decide happens next isn't as straightforward.

After each page, an event opens for readers. It might let readers vote, enter a raffle, or affect how strongly your character feels various emotions, affecting what they do next.

The pages vary in length from about a third of a page to a full page. In every case you're given several options at the end of the page to choose from. Once the next page is written, that event closes and the story is locked down a certain path.

* GeniusBonus: on Page 37, Mr. Army capitalizes the names of two cheeses "Gouda" and "burrata" wrong in the line "Well, Burrata is good, but I'm much more partial to gouda myself."
** You can tell the author knew because he has [[ShownTheirWork shown his work]] by having Miss Paloma capitalize the cheeses correctly in surrounding dialogue.
** Interestingly, this sentence was provided by a reader (they won the opportunity to give the author a sentence to use in the story). Was the wrong capitalization a test by the reader or a mistake?

-->--A floating sign

The story starts out with you (later understood to be a high school girl) reading the welcome sign quoted above. [[TheyJustDontGetIt You don't understand it]], even when you see students flying and racing invisible cars to the school building.

That's all readers got to start with. Immediately they had to decide what to do.

The pages vary from about a third of a page length to a full page's length. In every case you're given four options at the end of the page to vote on. Once the next page is written, voting on a page closes and the story is locked down a certain path.

* ChooseYourOwnAdventure: A variant in that you actually vote on what happens next, and there are no redos: once a path is selected, that's the path; you can't go back and try something else.
* TheDitz: Corliss, all the way. And a poor listener to boot!

* TheyJustDontGetIt: You with the floating sign. You read it first thing, but your response is just "The floating sign unnerves me. I'm not sure why or what it means, but I look forward to learning in class tonight!"

* AffectionateNickname: Corliss calls you G-Dow because she doesn't want to call you Grok, Destroyer of Worlds (which you've already insisted isn't your real name). She also calls Gavin Gav-Gav.

** An example of the {{Clingy MacGuffin}} not being as helpful: while you're trying to hide from Corliss your books float out in the open and she spots them.

The story starts out with you (later understood to be a high school girl) reading the welcome sign quoted above. [[FailedaSpotCheck You don't understand it]], even when you see students flying and racing invisible cars to the school building.

* ClingyMacGuffin: Students' books. They fly behind them everywhere they go on school grounds. If both you and the books are in the school building, though, the books lose their ability to fly.

* DreamLand: The whole story is taking place in a dream.

* TheNicknamer: Corliss.
* A type of {{Failed a Spot Check}} with the floating sign. It says it's a dream right on it, but you don't get it.
* TheyJustDontGetIt: You with the floating sign. She reads it first thing, but her response is just "The floating sign unnerves me. I'm not sure why or what it means, but I look forward to learning in class tonight!"
** On Page 5 she even quotes it again, but still doesn't get it.
