Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Enzo can't sleep. Ever since his 31st birthday, his average hourly wink rate went from 8 to 4.5, but it isn't the lack of energy that has him down nor is it the little bit of weight he's gained from the circadian disruption to his metabolism. He doesn't like being this age where he cannot sleep solely due to the absence of one element of his life, an element that had given him great comfort and enjoyment throughout his life: dreams.
In the near future, the wealthy elite can buy access to an exclusive new technology called "Lucid Suites"—luxury sleeping pods that allow users to experience fully immersive dreams of their choosing while remaining awake. This innovation is marketed as the ultimate indulgence: live your fantasies in vivid detail, without needing rest. For the ultra-rich, sleep becomes obsolete as they indulge in endless nights of adventure, pleasure, and creativity.
Enzo Argento, a high-profile tech executive, is one of the first to own a Lucid Suite. At first, the experience is intoxicating, a never-ending parade of perfect, handcrafted realities where sh can fulfill any desire. But as time passes, Enzo begins to notice that his waking life is becoming a blur, as if the line between dream and reality is disintegrating. Despite the luxury of his sleepless nights, he feels a growing disconnection from his world, his work, and even his emotions.
The twist comes when Enzo discovers that the "Lucid Suites" are not just a product of technological advancements—they are part of a deeper conspiracy. The pod doesn't simply simulate dreams; it siphons off a person’s capacity for real emotional connection, repurposing it to feed the desires of others. Every perfect dream he’s experienced has been fueled by the emotional experiences siphoned out of others—friends, family, and even strangers. As Enzo realizes the cost of his sleepless luxury, he’s faced with a choice: return to normal life, but haunted by the damage he’s unwittingly caused, or continue the dream world, abandoning his ability to feel anything real ever again.
