dream lapse is a grain-soaked, black-and-white VHS short that unfolds inside a fractured state of consciousness. Blue drifts through a decaying city where dreams repeat like damaged tapes and memory corrodes in real time. Haunted by Ren—a woman who exists only as echoes, smoke, and half-remembered gestures—he moves through rooftops, galleries, and empty nights while confronting violent reflections of himself. As reality slips and time collapses, the film reveals itself as a descent into emotional ruin: love turned ghost, identity split, and the mind looping its own undoing.
