"VachschlaV (artificial word from Wachtraum [German = lucid dream]).
VachschlaV tells the story about a lost soul, trapped inside a never-ending dream. Our character faces devastation, after he realizes that he knows nothing about life anymore. In order to escape this nightmare he is willing to take every chance to end his suffering.
By entering a new consciousness, a psychedelic world, he is forced to rethink and reevaluate everything that he knows about life and consciousness. Thrilled by this experience and full of euphoria he enters upon this newly discovered world. He also begins to feel a connection to an omnipotent force, that seems to watch over him, and which will later on in the story challenge him but is at this point not yet to be understood.
Drifting through time and space for a time that felt like many lifetimes, he hits rock bottom. His mind and body are suddenly overwhelmed by feelings of loneliness and fear. Unable to bear the weight of these emotions he comes up with a plan: trying to escape this unfolding realm of nightmares. Finally, unable to escape, he realizes that his mind is not bound to his body or any other dimension of existence anymore.
What will he have to sacrifice to return?”"
