The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K Leguin.

Published in 1971, the novel takes places in the unlikely future world of 2002 where the global human population has reached 7 billion, the Greenhouse effect is wrecking the world's climate and violence in the Middle-East is spiralling out of control. However none of this is necessarily a problem when reality itself can be altered, in this case by a disturbed man's dreams guided by his ostensibly well meaning psychiatrist, who's more than a little guilty of hubris. Watchmen fans may be particularly interested in what happens in chapter 6.
