The Dream Bearer Audiobook Summary
Printz Award winner Walter Dean Myers deftly draws a compassionate portrait of a boy’s odyssey of self-discovery and the acceptance and empathy for others he learns along the way.
David doesn’t know what to make of his father, Reuben. His older brother, Tyrone, says Reuben is crazy. But Tyrone is acting like someone David doesn’t know anymore.
Then David meets Mr. Moses, a mysterious man who tells him that dreams might be the only things we have that are real. And it is Mr. Moses’ gift of dreams that gives David a new way to see inside his father’s heart.
I wonder what kind of dreams Reuben has. When I thought about him dreaming, I thought of him having a storm in his head, with lightning and far-off thunder and the wind blowing big raindrops and a bigger storm coming just down the street, just around the corner, like a monster waiting for you. I thought Reuben dreamed of monsters that scared him.
They scared me too.

the dream bearer was one of my top favorites.this book is about a kid and his friend who meets a homeless guy and learns so much history about his black culture.the homeless guy is over 100 years old so he knows a lot of things.the book is called the dream bearer because the homeless man remembers all of his dreams and shares them with people who are interested.

In this book,there are plenty of turning points when you have to question wheather or not it is fake or reality. life is like that sometimes, and that is why the book can connect to any reader so very well, and keep them interested. life can seem just like a dream, but can also be a cold realiy check. I gave this book a 4 out of 5.

Great middle school age story about a child in Harlem dealing with the challenges of his environment and especially with his father’s struggle with mental illness and how this affects him and his mother and brother. The character’s struggle to understand his father and try to make sense of his own circumstances is compelling.
