Director’s Statement
Dreaming isn’t exclusive to me; it’s a shared human experience. Surreal, chaotic, sometimes revealing more than we’re ready to face.
As someone who doesn’t dream often, I make a point to remember every one I do have, especially those that linger. Once, during a period of intense boxing training for a film, I kept dreaming about fights. Each time, I launched the first punch, yet felt nothing — no adrenaline, no impact. Frustrated, I became obsessed with “fixing” the dream, trying to force sensation into something inherently intangible. But dreams don’t obey logic or will.
In another recurring dream, my wife left me. Though I knew it wasn’t real, each repetition deepened my emotional reaction — until I woke up one day crying uncontrollably. It wasn’t until I traced the dream to a casual remark by an untrustworthy admirer of hers that I understood: dreams mirror our buried fears and insecurities.
These experiences taught me a simple truth: what you think is what you dream. Our dreams reflect hidden anxieties, unresolved desires, and internal conflicts. They are personal, uncontrollable — and often, deeply honest.
This film draws from two such dreams. Through thriller and mystery, it explores karma, misfortune, and the emotional consequences of what we suppress. I hope it resonates as both a cautionary tale and a reminder to face what lies beneath — in sleep, and in life.
May you live without regret.
