Janey Nye didn't find out until she was a teenager, that her childhood ability to lucid dream was special. By the time she realized not everybody could tell that they were dreaming and control the subject matter of said dreams; she'd lost the ability. Later in life, under the influence of a nicotine patch, Janey spends a night in exhausting but exhilarating lucid dreams and immediately decides she must somehow get the ability back to do it every night. People have varying reasons why they want to lucid dream. To fly. To visit the sun. To have sex with movie stars. To be reunited with deceased loved ones. To conjure winning lottery numbers. Janey Nye has one, and one reason only that she endeavors to train herself to lucid dream. She wants to see what it's like to commit suicide. Soon caught in a strange world where the lines between dream and reality become dangerously blurred, Janey must find a way to escape the darkness in the place between dreams.
