Dream

Dream

by Joanna Baillie

The Dream is a gothic, proto-Lynchian meditation on fear, guilt, and the prophetic power of dreams. In the cloistered confines of a Swiss monastery, a small group of monks share the same prophetic dream: an ominous figure reaches out to them with a cryptic - and potentially life-threatening - message. The dream comes every night, and yet its true meaning remains elusive. But when the dreams appear to lead them to a buried corpse, the monastery soon turns into a blood-spattered path of vengeance, betrayal, and unbridled terror.
