I thought I was dreaming. I was wrong. When a teenage girl wakes up in a world that shouldn't exist, she finds herself face to face with someone impossible-herself. But older. Colder. Dead. Caught between life and death, past and future, ambition and regret, the two versions of her must confront a brutal truth: not everyone wakes up, and not every dream is innocent. As her grip on reality dissolves, so does the illusion of who she thought she was. What begins as a desperate search for answers becomes a reckoning with obsession, identity, and the terrifying cost of chasing more. Before I Wake is a surreal, emotionally raw descent into limbo, where the line between dream and death disappears-and the only way out is through the truth.
