Synopsis
Plagued by visions of restless, suffering spirits her entire life, a woman resolves to ignore them, tell no one of her 'gift' of second sight and try to be normal like everyone else. One day, her good friend tells her that he has dreamt about this terrible secret of hers. He explains that he's actually still dreaming now and that all of reality and the evils that haunt her are all just a nightmare -- his nightmare. At first she rejects his story. But she soon realizes that this is the most rational explanation for all of the atrocities of the world... it's all just a bad dream. She resolves to find him and wake him up. Finding him in bed at home, he explains to her that neither of them can get out of the nightmare unless they can find the real 'him' outside of the dream and really wake him up. He may even be in a coma, in which case she'll have to kill him to end the dream and all of the horrors contained in it. She embarks on a surreal quest to put an end to his nightmare by creating a killer dream of her own.
