''[[The Lathe of Heaven]]'' is a 1971 novel by [[Ursula K. Le Guin]] first serialized in ''Amazing Stories''. It was nominated for the Hugo and Nebula Awards and won the Locus Award.
 
George Orr is a [[The Everyman|perfectly ordinary man]] with one problem. Namely, when he wakes up from dreams, he gets the nagging feeling that things are ''different''. He begins to suspect that his dreams have the power to alter reality, retroactively changing the world to match his dreams, but that no one but him notices.
