Ahah man no its good, and yes of course writing a novel is art ! One of the best In my opinion, solely because there is very little else I would be good at ahaha. But if you don't mind a bit of constructive ciritism, and im not author at all, but I found that his morning routine was rushed too quickly, it didn't give me enough time to realize that he was the same person in the dream. Also you may want to revise a few of the details, but there is plenty time to flourish on the story. Here's the best way to put it, "Take the right amount of time to stop and smell the roses, before you move onto the next"
But bravo man ! and its not cheesy at all, I think it could get interesting, I'd like to see what this guy does, whats the meaning behind these dreams, and why he considers himself so heartless and dead inside. But elaborating on minor details even just a little bit more would give the reader that sense of immense imagination to realization.
Thanks for showing us ahah : )
