Bag of Bones: Chapter 4 (pages 43-55)

This chapter deals mostly with Mike's writer's block. It is so severe he starts to hyper-ventilate when he goes to type something on his computer. He can only use the Notepad function. Also time is running out on his manuscripts stored in the vault.
The biggest plot point in this chapter is the Dream Mike has about Joann at their summer home in Maine "Sara Laughs." He walks up the driveway and her corpse comes running to meet him. I'm not big on dreams being described in literature (even nightmares) it kind of seems pointless to describe a fictional situation "in" a fictional situation. Unless the dreams are short and to the point I lose interest very quickly.
