Between our conscious, waking world and the subconscious state of slumber lies a thinly veiled plane of lucid dreaming. While the conscious state belongs to individuals, the hidden plane of dreams is shared by all human minds, past, present, and future. Yet only a few have ever possessed the power to enter this secret realm at will—a realm where a war is being waged to control the waking world. For our earthly wishes and desires are not our own, but are under the manipulation of these unseen masters of dreams. The heroine of Gate 7 is Hana, a high-school girl from Kyoto and the daughter of a temple caretaker. Her peaceful nature gives her the self-control to act in the hidden realm. However, Hana can only reach it through the strange beast that serves as her totem in the world of dreams—and her companion on a journey to confront the puppeteers of our reality!
