Dysturbian Utopia

Dysturbian Utopia

Posted by

During a lecture on her university tour, Dr. Sandy Breaux prefaces the presentation with a tale of a boy named Garret, whose adversity won’t seem to end. As he continues to live in his insecurity, believe those who demean him, and fail to release his emotion, he dreams up a mental avatar that embodies societal clichés of perfection. As he creates this mental utopia, he will find new and dangerous ways to gain access to this state of being and live the life he wishes to have. His lucid dream could be a great escape or his internal turmoil may result in his utopia becoming disturbed and dystopian. Sandy’s father, who is Garret’s counselor Dr. Edwin Breaux, must push past the confines of his textbook teachings to help Garret out of an impending abyss.
