The novel Dreaming in Cuban by Cristina Garcia uses magical realism as a tool to empower the characters via their experience of supernatural incidents. Magical realism also helps the characters communicate wordlessly with each other and with those who have passed. Members of the Del Pino family are able to communicate with relatives in distant lands through a form of telepathy. At times, they are even able to uncover information that had been kept secret. For example, this is apparent in conversations that Pilar has with Celia and Cuba in her mind, regardless of the distance that separates them. This form of celestial communication exists not just among the living; it also works between the living and the dead. Celia has a vision of her dead husband Jorge walking towards her on water, and while she cannot understand him completely, unconscious communication does take place.
