Everyone knows that The Phantom of the Opera was once considered to be an angel by his student, Miss Christine Daae. What of the years I before /I her angel developed his strange obsession for her? This story will explain the connection that formed between two lonely orphans, cast out from others, each trying to find someone to share their loneliness with, because everyone knows that misery loves company.

Before the Dream will explain how the relationship started, and how the feelings changed from a simple teacher-to-pupil friendship into the burning romance between a man and a budding young woman.

Please note, this is not a retelling of the classic story, and as soon as it hits the point that the movie starts, it will end. It's a prologue of sorts, and although I am a HUGE Erik/Christine shipper, this story isn't one that will unite them. If you are still interested, then please, continue reading my story, a story full of deception, lies, tears, and of course, lots of angst.
