Story Teasers

Infallible - What if you made all the rules in life? What would you do? What if, with a few words and a deep breath, you could re-write the laws of the universe?

Robots - In the not-so-distant future, technology has overcome the need for sleep and dreaming. Inserted into the brains of all newborn babies, the Sleep Chip ensures the survival of a thriving 24-hour society - but at what cost?

Mirror Image - Can dreams tell the future - or the past? When Laura begins to dream the same dream on a regular basis, she finds herself drawn, reluctantly, into a frightening plot... But is she an intruder, or a key participant?

Reaper - In a topsy-turvy lucid dream world of impossibilities, a woman is intrigued by the presence of a girl who appears only whenever she becomes lucid. What does the girl want? Why can't she communicate? Soon the woman begins to understand why their realities are now clashing...

Mutual Realities - At London's top sleep research laboratory, four lucid dreamers are given the ultimate challenge: to meet up inside a shared lucid dream. The experiment produces a shocking result, particularly when once participant makes a stark revelation... prompting the others to question the nature of their reality.

The Musketeers - Sandra is trapped in her grief over the loss of her young son. Her loyalty to his memory forces her to deny herself happiness from anywhere else. But her predicament comes to a head one stormy night when she has yet another horrifying dream about her missing son.

The Same Stupid Dream - Jerome has escaped the bullies in his fifth grade class by convincing his mother to homeschool him. But now they're come back to haunt his nightmares... Jerome must figure out how to get the bullies to leave him alone and stop the nightmares from coming back once and for all.

Desert Dreams - Charlie's dream world is like no other. He experiences vivid scenes of natural beauty - infinite desert landscapes and tropical rainforests. There is one single consistency to his dream life; he's always tracking the same man, a silhouette figure who lingers in the distance. Who is that man - and why does Charlie feel the need to pursue him?

Living In The Past - Bill lives an ordinary life of early morning trains and mid morning meetings. But recently he's been having vivid and recurring dreams of knights and castles, of medieval battles and jousts! What does it all mean? And why are they getting ever more realistic? Only Bill can uncover the truth...

The WishBone - Adapted from an Indian folk tale, this is the story of Tracy, who toils in the wheat fields every day in the aftermath of The Great Depression. Her life is one big struggle until she discovers the escapism of lucid dreaming. Then a strange man in a bowler hat mysteriously appears and gives Tracery a most unusual gift - one that will change her life forever.

Shipwrecked - Jack awakens with no memory on an isolated, tropical island.
