"Lucidity" challenges viewers into the wild possibilities of controlling one's subconcious and how they could reflect into our awake state - if possible. The teenage hero of the story (played by Johnny Berchtold, from Netflix's thriller "The Passenger") attends a class by a very eloquent professor (Kris Black) who teaches about some experiments that students could do right after dreaming (take notes, create some pattern with something from your life, etc). The timid boy's dreams revolves on a pretty girl (Tetiana Donets) he has a crush, and her jock boyfriend (Trevor Roszkos), who always end up beating him. But, can things really go different for the better or for worse?

Very easy to like as it deals with one of the major mysteries of mankind (the power of dreams and how our subconcious work, positively or negatively), and one topic that attracts with many people out there and many great movies had been made about it ("Inception" and "Jacob's Leader" being masterpieces). The trick here was way too quick but effective, as the story unfolds yet it doesn't answer much about what's real and what's not. Very subjective depending on the viewer. It all feels like a trailer for a potential film and I'd like to see that happening, with expanded scenarios, obviously, and the great Berchtold as the lead again. He's really good at playing tormented characters who express plenty without saying a word. 9/10.
