Read Along~ Dream Hunter, Part 5


Hello again, and welcome to the final part of this read along.  This week please read the section called The Rainbow Opera then answer the questions below for a chance to win a $5 Amazon Gift certificate OR 1 PBS Credit OR the handmade item below. 

This week I made a bolster pillow.  The grey fabric is hand died.  The word Dream I painted on using a fabric paint that is shimmery!  To finish it off I added a lovely black and grey flower and ruffles.   


As mentioned in prior posts, there is an extra handmade item left for one lucky winner.  For a chance to win my handmade book and The Dreamer's Dictionary create a cast for the book.  You can see my cast HERE.  For each character that you cast I will put your name in the hat to win this prize.  (If the above prize is not selected by this weeks winner I will pick another name out of the hat to win the pillow.) 


So without further ado

1.  What is the dream about that Tziga wanted Laura to catch?
2.  What was the whole point of Rose's campaign of making friends with Mamie?
3.  What happens to the Sandman during Laura and his escape from the Rainbow Opera?
4.  What dream does Secretary Doran have up his sleeve?
5.  What does erasing the 1st N in Nown's name do?

Discussion:
1.  Do you think people that are frightened feel pity?
2.  Are you surprised to learn that Laura's convict dream is about something that will happen in the future?
3.  Will you read Dreamquake, the finally to this series?
4.  Would you participate in another read along?  Any suggestions?

1. What is the dream about that Tziga wanted Laura to catch?
Being Buried Alive (shudder!)
2. What was the whole point of Rose's campaign of making friends with Mamie?
To get closer to Mave Plasir
3. What happens to the Sandman during Laura and his escape from the Rainbow Opera?
He takes a few bullets.
4. What dream does Secretary Doran have up his sleeve?
He has a dream, a dream called Contentment.
5. What does erasing the 1st N in Nown's name do?
It sets him free. :-)

Discussion:
1. Do you think people that are frightened feel pity?
This is a fascinating question. I would think so, if only when they see other people more frightened than themselves.
2. Are you surprised to learn that Laura's convict dream is about something that will happen in the future?
No, not really. I knew there had to be a twist about the Place, but I admit I hadn't anticipated it that way.
3. Will you read Dreamquake, the finally to this series?
I don't know. I'd like to see how the author finishes the tale, but it may have to wait until I finish a few other books first. If it reads like this one, I can finish it pretty quickly, so I may pick it up and the library one day.
4. Would you participate in another read along? Any suggestions?
YES! This was fun. I had anticipated a little more discussion, but realized that I was guilty of sending answers and then never looking back to see what other folks answered. Maybe a way to promote a wee bit of discussion? Not sure how you'd do that though. Thanks for the read!

Grace Tiebold = Judi Dench
Rose Tiebold = Marion Cotillard
Tziga Hame = Daniel Craig
Laura Hame = Scarlett Johansson
Sandy = Matthias Schoenaerts
