In a surreal but near future, a young woman finds herself addicted to a generative lucid dreaming device. After the device's free trial ends, Alice’s growing disappointment in reality outweighs the lack of control she has over the device. Dreams and reality become blurred as she descends into a world of fantasy, chaos, and manipulation. Eventually, Alice must choose between what is meaningful and what is entertaining.

Superconscious Journey of the Soul was inspired by Michael Newton's book "Journey of Souls." The book chronicles 29 people's experiences with past-life regression hypnosis, in which each subject describes a "life between lives". The film, shot and edited on 16mm film, explores what this journey between lives might look like through cutout animation. It aims to create an emotional experience of uncovering hundreds of forgotten lifetimes at once.
