Wake

Seventeen-year-old Janie is no stranger to the unusual; she has the uncanny ability to slip into the dreams of others while they sleep. This extraordinary gift, however, feels more like a burden. Each night, she finds herself navigated into the chaotic and often unsettling worlds of strangers and acquaintances alike, leaving her feeling drained and isolated. The thrill of dreaming is lost on her as she struggles to maintain her own identity amidst the relentless tide of borrowed dreams.

As Janie grapples with this unique predicament, she faces the challenges of adolescence, dealing with the complexities of relationships and the weight of societal expectations. The pressure mounts, especially when her ability takes a toll on her sense of self and her capacity to connect with the real world. Friends are pulling away, and love interests appear complicated by her secret.

It is a constant battle to reclaim her own dreams and aspirations in a life overshadowed by an inability to control where her mind wanders each night. With the prospect of love blossoming on the horizon, Janie must learn to navigate not only her nocturnal escapades but also the intricacies of her heart.

As she discovers more about herself and the potential for the gift to become a tool for empowerment rather than a source of dread, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. In facing her fears and embracing her dreams, Janie realizes that she holds the power to transform her experience, turning the uncanny into something breathtakingly beautiful.
