Evelyn goes to bed, a short-lived luxury because she has to get up in four hours to go to a third job. A relentless routine that grinds her down. She wishes to sleep for two days straight; a wish that’s granted. Endless dreams of being chased are wearing on her.

Dream Reel

Deep sleep viewing
Surreal yet so real.
Running naked,
Looking for cover.
But to no avail,
As no one cares.
Just you and shades of you,
Behind closed lids.
All from your reel of id.
