By avoiding a clear-cut ending and opting to leave the narrative open-ended, the filmmaker powerfully underscores the reality that overcoming depression is not an instantaneous process, but instead requires time and support. With approximately 5% of adults globally grappling with depression, the film serves as a reminder that individuals facing this challenge are not isolated and the poignant montage of other sufferers in bed during the final scene of Are You Awake? vividly illustrates what a shared experience it unfortunately is. - S/W Curator, Rob Munday

A Psychological Thriller about Nightmares and Dread. That's everyday in the world of late, mate.

Can someone explain? I don't get it.

[@MystearicaClaws]

I always read the description. Helps

[@doronron7323]

After reading the description, I'm none the wiser. All my dreams are lucid and I'm convinced each is another dimension. A kind of insight into what reality is, but also the nightmare glympse of knowing there's no escape, just a change of landscape. Endlessly forever. That's the true nightmare.
