Beast by Night (human-animal bond)

People from different walks of life begin to have vivid dreams of being animals. One is a tiger, stalking through steaming jungle, one is a whale with a calf, heading north through mountainous icebergs, one is a sheep and feels kinda ripped off when his friend starts on about the tiger...

Anyway, they keep dreaming, and gradually, they gain control over the creatures they dream of. As this is happening, some will be talking about it – and be hauled in by the local sanatorium as lunatics. Some will be making more subtle inquiries, and some might think they’re the only one. But there are strange stories circulating – a town attacked by monsters that don’t exist, communications with the army in the north cut off, no trading ships from the east, but several shipwrecks have washed up...

One night while dreaming, the MC’s animal is killed by something immense and leathery that swoops from above. She/he is heartbroken, until a couple of nights later he/she opens their dreaming eyes – as a dragon.

How will they react? How will they stop these newly awoken monsters, possessed by human minds at night? Can they trust anyone else to help?
