If it's the one I'm thinking of, the protagonist is a librarian who discovers a sentient book. The key characters are just her, the book (which acts as a character through its narrative voice), and the antagonist, a former historian who wants to use the book's power to rewrite his past. There's a cat in the library too. It's a very quiet, philosophical story. The book itself is the most important character, debating with the librarian about reality and memory.

Honestly, the title 'The Book of Waking Dreams' threw me off for a second because it sounds similar to 'The Book of Lost Things' or some other dream-logic fantasy, but I think you're asking about 'The Book of Dreams' by O.R. Melling? That's the one I know with waking dreams as a core idea. If it's that one, the key characters are pretty much centered on the siblings, Gwen and Findabhair. Gwen is the practical, worried older sister who gets pulled into the fairy realm to rescue Findabhair, who's the more whimsical, dreaming one who gets taken. You also have the King of the Shee, who's this ambiguous, captivating figure tied to the land's magic, and Niall, a modern boy with ancient ties who helps Gwen. The whole thing hinges on that sister dynamic and the clash between a modern, skeptical perspective and an ancient, alluring one. It's less about a huge ensemble and more about Gwen's very personal journey through a dangerous, beautiful dream.
I always thought Findabhair was a fascinating character because she's not just a damsel; her desire for that magical world is what sets everything in motion. Her choices have weight. The King is the classic dangerous faerie love interest, but Melling writes him with a real sense of melancholy and ancient power that makes him more than a villain. Niall grounds the story in a helpful way, but Gwen's determination is the real engine.

I read a book with a similar title a while back, and the main character was a girl who could step into other people's dreams. Her name was Elara, I think? Or maybe it was Lia. The key was her and this boy she met, Kael, who was trapped in a collective dreamscape. There was also a sinister figure called the Sandman who wasn't bringing good dreams, but draining people. And her little brother, who was in a coma—his sleeping mind was the gateway. The dynamic was her trying to save her brother while learning to control her own power, with Kael as a guide who had his own faded memories. The villain had a tragic backstory that almost made you feel sorry for him, until he tried to pull the whole city into an endless sleep. It was very atmospheric, focused on imagery of glass cities and clockwork nightmares.

Wait, are we sure it's the Melling book? I've seen 'The Book of Dreams' referenced in relation to a few different novels over the years. There's also a 'Waking Dreams' by someone else, I think. If we're guessing it's a fantasy novel about dreams, the key characters are probably a Dreamer protagonist, a guide figure (maybe an older mentor or a quirky sidekick from the dream world), and an antagonist that represents nightmares or seeks to control the dream realm. Classic setup. You'd likely have a best friend or family member from the 'real world' who doesn't believe the protagonist at first. The love interest is often someone they meet inside the dream who might be real or an illusion. Without the exact author, it's hard to pin down, but that archetype framework fits a lot of the genre.

Sixteen-year-old Vera Moonlock has survived the slums of the imperial capital by wit and stealth—but when a drunken soldier targets an innocent child, her dormant power erupts in a flash of psychic fury. Branded the “dream witch,” she’s dragged to the feared Judgment Tower, where the empire confines its most dangerous Alphas. There she meets Lucien Thornehart, the legendary Mad Wolf King, whose mind teeters on the brink of madness. Bound by necessity—and a fragile pact woven in the dream plain—they shatter their chains and ignite a rebellion under the rising Blood Moon.
From the Howling Spire to the storm-lashed heights of Skyforge Citadel, Vera and Lucien must master their mismatched gifts: her star-blood dreamcraft and his feral alpha wrath. As they breach iron gates, outwit psionic dampeners, and rally hybrids and humans alike, they discover that the true enemy is not a single tyrant but the systemic fear that binds them all. In a final reckoning on a frozen lake, they redeem a fallen prince, unite former foes in the Constellation Accord, and found Ember Tower Academy—where the next generation will learn to guard freedom with fang and dream.
*Dream Sovereign: Chronicles of the Blood Moon* is an epic saga of power, mercy, and the unbreakable bonds forged in shared nightmares.

I'll be real, I read this book ages ago and the details are a bit hazy, but I remember the core setup really messing with my head. The protagonist, this guy who's just going through the motions of a normal life, starts having these incredibly vivid dreams that bleed into his waking hours. Objects from the dreams appear in his apartment. People he's never met in reality show up at his work. It's not framed as a horror, more of a slow psychological unravelling where he has to figure out if he's losing his mind or if the dream world is somehow just as real. The plot really hinges on him trying to find the source of these dreams, which leads him down a rabbit hole of old family secrets and this obscure philosophy group his grandfather was part of. The ending is deliberately ambiguous, which I know some people hated, but I thought it fit the theme perfectly. You're left wondering, right along with the main character, what constitutes reality.
Honestly, the middle section drags a bit with the protagonist just being confused and scared for a long time. I kept wanting him to take more action, but I guess that paralysis is part of the point. The strength is definitely in the atmosphere—those descriptions of the dream city with its impossible architecture stayed with me longer than the actual plot mechanics.
