In My Sleep

In a city that never quite lets the night settle, the line between waking life and the unconscious becomes a fragile veil for one man. Marcus lives with parasomnia, a condition that steals the memory of his nocturnal actions and leaves him waking to fragments that feel more like hallucinations than reality. Each sunrise brings a disorienting sense of déjà vu, as if he has stepped out of a dream he never intended to have. The atmosphere is thick with tension, a blend of psychological suspense and muted dread that makes even ordinary surroundings feel subtly off‑kilter.

To anchor himself, Marcus dives into fleeting connections, seeking distraction in one‑night encounters that dissolve as quickly as his sleep‑torn recollections. Realizing the emptiness of this approach, he joins a Sexaholics Anonymous group, where the raw honesty of strangers offers a fragile lifeline. There, his sponsor, Derek, provides steady, if unconventional, guidance, urging him to confront the shadows that linger behind his eyes. Their conversations crack open the possibility that the true menace may not be external at all, but something lodged deep within his own psyche.

Unease deepens as unexplained phone calls and an ever‑growing sense of being watched begin to intrude on his days. Marcus finds himself piecing together clues from his own fragmented memories, each clue a vague echo that hints at a hidden truth lurking beneath the surface of his life. The tone remains suffused with an uneasy suspense, balancing the mundane with the uncanny, and inviting the audience to wonder whether the darkness is a product of his mind or a force that has slipped through the cracks of his sleep.

The film paints a portrait of a man teetering on the brink of self‑discovery, where every night could unravel a new layer of mystery. It’s a story that thrives on mood and internal conflict, promising a journey that will test Marcus’s grip on reality without ever revealing the full extent of the secrets he’s chasing.
