Synopsis: Since her childhood, Jessica has been haunted by recurrent nightmares whose meaning escapes her. This peculiarity has led her to study the psychophysiology of dreams and to follow a therapy with Sean, her mentor and boyfriend, to try and understand the origin of her nightmares. Following the death of her maternal grandmother she hardly knew, Jessica reluctantly returns to the family home. She doesn't get along with her mother very well and is not looking forward to seeing her again. Upon her arrival, Jessica discovers that her late grandmother is lying in the adjoining room to her own during the wake. After a rough first night made restless by a strange nightmare in which she meets her dead grandmother, Jessica suddenly becomes ill. Stuck in bed with a high fever, the young woman decides to use her lethargic state to try out lucid dreaming.

All these so called secrets!

You're taking your dreams

too seriously, stop it!

You're just feverish and delirious.

That's all!

Do not be too hard on her.

Mind your own business please.

Look, you're sick, darling.

You need to go back to bed.

I'm going to make you

something warm and comforting

No.

I have to go back.

We need to talk.

Jessica...

try not to open your eyes.

Just listen to me.

You were right about...

I think...

Catelyn hiding something.

I do not know much about...

lucid dreams...

but if you can go where ever you want...

you should try the chapel.

Hello, doctor.

It's Catelyn Blake here.

Look I'm really sorry

to bother you...

but I'm getting more and more

worried about Jessica's health.

Catelyn, go ahead.

Well, it's getting worse.

I think my daughter is

in a great deal of pain.

I mean, physically from

her recurring nightmares.

It's like she gets

these bruises, even...

scars, and it happens again and

again, dream after dream...

meanwhile she stays stuck

in her bed all day long.

Okay, I...

I know I should not

ask you this...

and you'll probably question

my behavior as a mother but...

I really need something

to inhibit her nightmares.

I can't bear the fact that my daughter

is being so affected by her sleep.

You want her to stop dreaming?

Yes I do.

One magic word...

Benzodiazepines.

It'll completely prevent

her from dreaming.

Catelyn...

I received an email this

afternoon from the lab.

You do know Jessica is pregnant?

Jess, darling.

Jess, darling.

Wake up darling.

Wake up Jess.

I've got something for you.

It'll do you good.

S S:

Jess?

Wake up Jess!

Jess!

Wake up Jessica.

Jess, darling.

Jess.

Wake up Jessica!

Jess!

Come on Jessica.

Take this.

Stop all this nonsense.

Sit up!

Go on take it.

Take it!

Jessica, stop this.

It'll calm you down.

You must take it.

It's for your own good.

I told you take it!

Now drink this.

That's a good girl.

Now, show me.

Good girl.

Now, you have a good rest.

B*tch!

It was not enough to bring

disgrace to our family name?

You...

felt the need to lie

to us on top of that.

You used...

our faith in the God...

to conceal your act of infamy from us.

Shame on you.

You're as immaculate

as this dirty...

bloody sheet!

Llisten to me carefully,

Catelyn Blake.

I don't want this child

or her mother...

to enter my home ever again.

Do you hear me?

Both children should

have been dead today.

But we can't bury this poor

baby girl without a name.

Find a lovey name

for her, Catelyn.

I had chosen Lucy.

Please, get rid of her for me.

I simply can't do it.

My poor little girl.

You have no name yet.

I had only chosen one...

For one child.

I will call you...

Jessica.

You've been the burden

of my entire life.

You...

are the daughter...

... that I didn't want.

I'll just pretend...

that you were never...

born.

What's up?

Get up Jim.

You've always...

blamed me for your mistakes.

Don't worry...

I'll get rid of me for you.

Goodbye mother.

- Oh God! Jessica!

- What is it?

- Go get the doctor!

- Jessica!

- Go and get the doctor!

- Oh God!

It's Jessica.

She has fainted and...

and she's been seized by

terrible convulsions.

Jessica,

my little girl!

Please doctor,

Please, come now... please.

Jessica.

Jessica.

Jessica.
