A Web Serial Novel about a high school that exists in a shared lucid Dream Land. Every school night before midnight, high school students in real life fall asleep and are pulled into this dream by an unknown dreamer. Though it is a serious educational institution, the story focuses on the main character meeting other students and learning about the school, which often leads to crazy and ridiculous adventures- in no small part due to the interactive aspects.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dream High School is similar to a Gamebook except that it's more of a choose-our-own-adventure — you decide with other readers what the main character does next through a variety of events. Readers have also won various prizes, such as giving sentences to the author that he has to use in the story and naming characters.The story opens with you (the main character) reading the welcome sign "DO NOT PINCH YOURSELF. YOU ARE DREAMING. WELCOME TO DREAM HIGH SCHOOL." You don't understand it, even when you see students flying and racing invisible cars to the school building. Over time you meet and connect with students, mysteries are revealed, you learn how shared lucid dreams work.After the latest page you're given several options to choose from that affect what the main character does next. That event eventually closes and the story is locked down a certain path based on reader input.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Dream High School is available here.

Big First Choice: All of the first choices have a big impact on the story, but the most evident one is when you tell Corliss your name is Grok, Destroyer of Worlds, she believes you, and tells everyone. Over 30 pages later and people still know you as Grok.

Affectionate Nickname: 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.

Beat: ".." are not typos but represent beats in dialogue. They occur quite often. For example: "I need to run through.. some things with you..." Dashes and ellipses are also used and differ slightly.

The All-Concealing "I"

The All-Concealing "I": You don't know your gender for a few pages, and you still don't know your name. Pretty common in Gamebook stories, however.
