== Development ==
When Charlaine Harris approached Brandon about writing a short story for ''Games Creatures Play'', he immediately wanted to be a part of the project after hearing the concept. He had never written a horror story before, so he thought of the scariest thing he could imagine, whch was the kids who play Xbox having control over real peoples' lives. This concept became the seed for ''Dreamer'', which Brandon considers different from any of his other writing.{{url ref|url=https://brandonsanderson.com/games-creatures-play-is-out-this-week/|text=Games Creatures Play is Out This Week|site=Brandon Sanderson Blog|date=2014-4-3}}{{wob ref|3138|text=Firefight Atlanta signing|date=2015-1-24}}
