Dream a Little Dream

As Bobby Keller careens through a shortcut on a fateful night, his life collides with that of Lainie Diamond, the object of his recent infatuation. Meanwhile, elderly professor Coleman Ettinger is attempting to harness the power of meditation alongside his wife Gena in their backyard sanctuary, seeking to merge their minds and achieve an eternal coexistence. However, fate intervenes when Bobby's reckless abandon causes him to collide with Lainie, rendering both teenagers unconscious and triggering a bizarre phenomenon that transposes the consciousness of two pairs of individuals: Coleman and Gena find themselves trapped within Bobby and Lainie's bodies.

As Coleman awakens in Bobby's bedroom, he is met with confusion and disorientation. His best friend Dinger and parents frantically inquire about his well-being, but "Bobby" remains clueless, having lost all sense of identity. In an attempt to regain control, Coleman assumes the role of Bobby Keller, navigating his new surroundings with a mix of curiosity and desperation. He becomes fixated on reuniting with his wife Gena, only to be met with frustration as he struggles to comprehend the altered circumstances.

As Coleman drifts off to sleep, his subconscious mind conjures up a dream realm where he encounters the real Bobby Keller, stuck in a limbo partially generated by Coleman's own psyche. The trapped Bobby presents a dire warning: Gena, skeptical of her husband's "dream state" theory from the beginning, has become trapped alongside Lainie in a shared dream, with the risk of being forever lost within its labyrinthine corridors. With time running out to prevent this catastrophe, Bobby implores Coleman to find a way to rescue his wife before she forgets about him and becomes irrevocably lost in the dream.

As Coleman assumes the guise of Bobby, he encounters a conundrum. The latter, claiming possession of the key to reversing their shared predicament, hesitates to lend aid, finding solace in the dreamlike reality he now inhabits. This ethereal realm, born from the turmoil of his troubled teenage years, has become more alluring than the physical world that once plagued him. Meanwhile, Coleman's time is ticking away, as he must navigate a complex web of generational differences, high school hierarchies, and personal demons to effect change in Bobby's life.

The stakes are elevated by the presence of Joel, Lainie's volatile boyfriend, whose violent outbursts threaten to upend the fragile balance. Additionally, Bobby's relationships with his family and friends require mendification, as does his strained connection with Lainie herself, who harbors a distinct distaste for her doppelganger. To succeed in his endeavor, Coleman must orchestrate a harmonious convergence of factors, all while convincing Lainie to recreate the meditation experiment that may yet save Bobby's beloved wife.
