Hypnagogia

A young woman struggling with anxiety finds herself trapped in a surreal, hypnagogic dreamscape where the boundaries between memory and illusion dissolve. Drifting through an ever-shifting world, she encounters fragmented echoes of her past-half-remembered moments of childhood joy, shadowy figures lurking just beyond reach, and eerie whispers calling her name. The deeper she ventures, the more the dream distorts, twisting into a nightmarish reflection of her subconscious fears. Her missing parents appear like ghosts, flickering between warmth and menace, their faces sometimes familiar, sometimes unrecognizable. She tries to grasp at them, to make sense of their cryptic words, but every answer unravels into another question. The house she grew up in melts and reforms into a vast, endless labyrinth, each doorway leading to a different era of her life-some real, some fabricated by her mind. As she searches for the truth buried within the dream, she encounters a younger version of herself, lost and frightened, trapped in a looping memory of an event she has long suppressed. The revelation is both devastating and liberating: her anxiety is not just a shadow of the present but a wound from the past that never fully healed. But as she edges closer to understanding, reality begins to slip away. The walls dissolve, time bends, and she realizes she may never wake up. The dream is consuming her, rewriting her identity with every passing second. If she cannot distinguish what is real from what is imagined, how will she ever escape? Trapped in a place where the mind is both prison and key, she must decide-confront the fear that has bound her for so long or surrender to the void of her own subconscious. - IMDb
