The Dallergut Dream Department Store

        客人們入睡後，進入了最受歡迎的「達樂古特夢境百貨」，挑選陳列在眼前的各色夢境：想再次相見的人、期待前往的地方、害怕又想突破的事物，以及超乎想像、上天下海的瑰麗夢境……每一層樓都提供別出心裁的夢。這棟五層樓的百貨門庭若市，有睡長覺的客人，也有短暫睡個午覺的人類和動物。
 
　　 新人佩妮通過了與達樂古特本人進行的一對一面試，來到夢境百貨上班，準備好好推銷各個傳奇製夢師所設計的夢。然而，當她好不容易稍稍搞懂測量睡意的「眼皮秤」、從「夢境滿意度」轉換的支付系統等細節後，竟然惹下大禍──最貴的夢境費用從她手上被偷走了……眼看工作即將不保，她該如何化解困境？在這神祕的夢境百貨，在清醒與睡夢的邊界，她又將遇見什麼樣的人，以及他們心中渴求已久的夢？
 
　　 在今日與明日的縫隙、在意識模糊之間存在的夢境，
　　 到底要怎麼販售？夢境的價值怎麼估計？
　　 內心的渴望、遺憾、恐懼，能在夢裡得到回應？
　　 期盼前往的地點、自由奔放無拘無束的夢境，真的能訂做？
　　
　　 夢境百貨，全年無休，日日備妥好夢，
　　 等候您的大駕光臨。──店主敬上

        For fans of magical realism and the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series by Toshikazu Kawaguchi comes this cozy fantasy debut.

        What if there was a store that sold dreams? Which would you buy? And who might you become when you wake up?

        In a mysterious town hidden in our collective subconscious there’s a department store that sells dreams. Day and night, visitors both human and animal shuffle in to purchase their latest adventure. Each floor specializes in a specific type of dream: childhood memories, food dreams, ice skating, dreams of stardom. Flying dreams are almost always sold out. Some seek dreams of loved ones who have died.

        For Penny, an enthusiastic new hire, working at Dallergut is the opportunity of a lifetime. As she uncovers the workings of this whimsical world, she bonds with a cast of unforgettable characters, including Dallergut, the flamboyant and wise owner, Babynap Rockabye, a famous dream designer, Maxim, a nightmare producer, and the many customers who dream to heal, dream to grow, and dream to flourish.

        A captivating story that will leave a lingering magical feeling in readers’ minds, this is the first book in a bestselling duology for anyone exhausted from the reality of their daily life.
