Earth Dreams is a 1982 science fiction novel by American writer Janet Morris, [1] the third in her Kerrion Space trilogy.

Plot outline

Shebat, a dream dancer, cruiser pilot and wife of the renegade second son of the Kerrion family merchant dynasty, must challenge the greatest empire in the universe to protect and save the magnificent, sentient, space-faring cruisers from destruction, while battling political intrigues continuing from the first two volumes of the series. She and her husband, Chaeron, solidify their relationship and finally learn to work toward the same goals – not power for power’s sake, but in order to allow beauty and harmony to flourish in the universe.

A parallel universe, also known as an alternate universe, parallel world, parallel dimension, alternate reality, or alternative dimension, is a hypothetical universe co-existing with one's own, typically distinct in some way. The sum of all potential parallel universes that constitute reality is often called the "multiverse". Another common term for a parallel universe is "another dimension", stemming from the idea that if the 4th dimension is time, the 5th dimension—a direction at a right angle to the fourth—is a direction into any of the alternate spacetime realities.
