Set in an idealistic future, 'In Dreams' goes into the mind of a young woman, who is desperately trying to hold on to the remnants of a dream which reveal the secrets to unlocking her scientific ambition. Her waking state only shows glimpses of an abstract mess, which pulls her into an internal crisis about the motivation of progress and advancements that drive this brave new world.
