Dreamnesia: Retrospect

Blink. Breathe. Stand there, indecisive. In a moment, it might be hunger, fatigue, a chill or a yawn. Whatever the involuntary response they stimulate deep inside your head, you haven’t the capacity to scrutinise it. Because you can’t remember. Don’t worry. Most of us can’t. Wilden Stokes can’t seem to shake his recurring dream about Sadie, the girl who sits near him in Psychology. Every time he falls asleep she’s there, growing more desperate, urging him to follow her dream instructions when he wakes. Following his own intuition, he discovers a force that conceals its influence over humanity through the forgetting of dreams, and he is soon forced to face the consequences of his past. Awake and asleep.
