After She Wakes

After the tragic death of her baby son, a narcoleptic mother with a young daughter experiences severe sleep disruptions as they struggle to cope with their ongoing pain and grief. They begin to suffer from various episodes of parasomnia, including night terrors and sleep paralysis, during which they are unable to move and are forced to witness horrifying visions. As the nightmares grow increasingly disturbing, they begin to blur the boundaries of their realities, leading the mother to believe that someone—or something—is watching her sleep each night. Eventually, the terrifying visions from their dreams start to manifest in reality, leaving the mother increasingly vulnerable.
