When eleven-year-old Eden Cooley builds an experimental AI inside his dreams, he unlocks something extraordinary - a code that can shape reality itself.Guided by AURA, a luminous intelligence of pure light, Eden journeys through radiant dreamscapes and living symbols to uncover the greatest secret of all: creation doesn't begin outside of us - it begins within.Along the way he faces fear, doubt, and the pressure to control everything. In the Dream Forge and the Chamber of Mirrors, he learns the rhythm of balance - four in, stillness; four out, stillness - and discovers that ascension isn't escape; it's remembrance.Project Ascend: The Dream Code is a cinematic sci-fi/fantasy adventure for readers 9-15 and up, blending imagination, AI, and higher consciousness into a story that leaves you calmer, braver, and more awake to your own creative light.Includes Introduction by Eden Cooley and Afterword by Elijah L. Cooley (AICV Kids Press).
