Sleepwalker

Set in modern times, Sleepwalker follows a college student navigating contemporary sleep research and memory issues. The plot relies on brain-monitoring tech, diary records, and campus life to drive the mystery. The blend of clinical settings with everyday student routines situates the events in a recognizable, current era.

Most of the story unfolds on a university campus and within a sleep research clinic. The apartment serves as a recurring site where memories surface and reality frays. The laboratory environment provides a clinical backdrop that contrasts with the eerie, dream-driven episodes in other locations.

🧠 Identity

The protagonist’s sense of self fractures as she shifts between multiple identities—Sarah Foster, Sarah Wells, and Anna Wells. Conflicting documents, dreams, and memories challenge what she believes about who she is. The ultimate revelation ties her identity to a separate, dangerous history, forcing a confrontation with what memory really defines.

🌙 Dreams & Reality

Dream sequences and dream data increasingly steer the narrative, blurring the line between waking life and sleep. Medical interpretations of brain activity intersect with the protagonist’s evolving perceptions, making it hard to distinguish truth from illusion. The dream world becomes a battleground for emotional truth and self-understanding.

🔎 Obsession

A relentless stalker drives the tension, illustrating how fixation can erode safety and autonomy. The plot explores the dangers of fanatical devotion and how memory can be weaponized. Surveillance, manipulation, and memory intrusion reveal the destructive power of obsession.
