The 3DCG In Your Dreams tells the story of a young girl, Stevie, and her younger brother Elliot, who journey into the absurd landscape of their own dreams in search of the Sandman, who they believe can grant their wish to save their parents’ marriage. The siblings brave zombie breakfast foods and the queen of nightmares in an effort to see their ultimate dream come true... the perfect family. But the controlling Stevie will need to find common ground with her free-spirited brother in order to avoid getting swallowed up by nightmares.
