"Aegri Somnia" 2008 focuses on a character (often an artist or writer) who suffers from disturbing nightmares, and the Latin title, meaning "sick dreams" or "the dreams of a sick man," reflects this central theme. The film typically blurs the line between reality and hallucination as the protagonist's waking life becomes increasingly intertwined with the terrifying visions from their sleep. They struggle to discern what is real and what is a product of their tormented mind, often leading to a descent into madness or a horrifying realization that their nightmares are manifesting in the real world.
