A woman awakening in DreamVille and a man unraveling in the real world are drawn together by a supernatural thread that threatens to collapse both realms unless they face the truth of who — and what — they are.

The Story Begins

Lanae’s life begins to fracture the moment the lapses start — flashes of lost time, moments that don’t belong to her, and a pull toward a place she’s never seen but somehow remembers. DreamVille is beautiful, unsettling, and intimate in ways she can’t explain. It knows her. It reflects her. And it’s changing her.

Across the divide, Erik is unraveling. His reality is slipping, his past is resurfacing, and every step forward feels like a step toward something he thought he’d buried. Their lives move in parallel — one awakening, one collapsing — connected by a thread that grows stronger each time DreamVille shifts.

As the realm tightens around Lanae and Erik’s worlds begin to mirror each other, they’re forced to face the truth of who they are, what binds them, and what DreamVille wants. Because if they don’t, the thread between them may snap — and take both realms with it.

The DreamVille Project

Lanae has spent most of her life navigating the space between what she feels and what she can explain — but when strange lapses begin pulling her out of her everyday reality, she’s drawn toward a place called DreamVille, a world that seems to know her intimately.

As she slips deeper into its shifting landscapes, she uncovers a realm shaped by memory, desire, and the parts of herself she’s tried to outrun. The rules in DreamVille are not written in stone, and every answer leads to another question — including why it chose her.
