Heather is a 23-year-old New Yorker stuck in a bumpy rut in life. Between her overbearing boss in an unsatisfying corporate job and a sense of romantic failure after the loss of true love from self-sabotage, Heather has virtually given up on happiness. When her neighbor entices her with a new up-and-coming drug that promises vibrant, lucid dreaming, Heather thinks she has found an easy, chemical relief from her day-to-day existence.

What starts off as innocent dreaming of the perfect life quickly shifts into the realm of the supernatural. Taking ever-increasing doses of this unknown substance, Heather forces herself deeper into her dreamscape, trying to escape her woes of reality. When she becomes imprisoned within her mind, she is guided by her conscience to the realization that to successfully shed her mental chains of confinement, Heather will have to battle all the internal demons that have been created from her external trauma, including herself.

Mindscape is a story many of us can relate to. Heather realizes there is no running from life’s problems. Her neglected past even manages to worm its way into her vivid dreams and morph them into nightmares that haunted her from childhood into adulthood. Heather realizes it isn’t life that is the problem, it’s how she’s living her life.

By addressing Heather’s soul self, an amalgamation of her inner child wanting peace, tranquility, and happiness; and her adult self that is battle-scarred and believes the world has a personal vendetta against her, Heather is able to personally transform herself and her psyche. Her actions of self-help eventually begin the healing process her soul needs to accept the scars that life has dealt and although they are a part of her, they do not define her. Heather’s arduous trials in her dreams begin to shift her reality into one she’d been dreaming of.
