Synopsis

This is the story of a rational, sceptical woman, a mother and wife, who does not remember her dreams. Except once, when she dreamt her horse was dying. The dream was so vivid and frightening she felt compelled to check on her horse and found him dead. The next dream told her she would die herself, when she was 48.

THE EDGE OF DREAMING charts moment of that year. The film explores life and death in the context of a warm and loving family, whose happiness is increasingly threatened as the dream seems to be proving true.

When Amy fell seriously ill, as her dream predicted, she went on a search to change that dream, leading her to eminent neuroscientist Mark Solms, and to new understanding of the complexity of our brains.
