Reminds me of when I was in a psych ward last fall. The feeling of my waking mind scrambling itself to pieces while my dreaming mind weaving wonderful scenes and narratives. It’s a strange feeling, especially when that dream bleeds out into the real.

I’m also reminded of the last few chapters of “Enders Game” where his dreams and waking life bleed together.

Also waking in nature is very serene, especially contrasted with the indoor bits towards the end. V cool.

Interesting piece. Definitely a student film. Reminds of those surrealist film makers, like Dali and Buñuel. And it is haunting like Weir's Picinic at Hanging Rock. Hopefully you have opportunity to make more. Just one question...you sleep with boots on? That is wild.
