One of the most basic warnings when writing a story is never to cheat the reader especcially when the ending reveals that the story was a dream by the character. However, where is the line drawn when the dream and ' real' is blurred.
The story I am writing (and soon to be posted here) is for a short story competition, and basically it is about a character with a vivid imagination. The main character/ narrator is not the dreamer but the muse of the character. No spoiler here but there will be an interweaving between what is actually the story and what is made up.
I just want to ask your comments on this kind of style, and maybe give me some points on where to draw the line to avoid having the whole story simply as a character's dream.
