I just read Ursula K. Le Guin: "The Lathe of Heaven." Outstanding ! It's a good science fiction story. However, it is also a brilliant analogy to how we are responsible for shaping our reality: either we conciously choose the dreams we choose to pursue . . . or we let others pursue their dreams through us. A good read !
