For seven nights, the dream returned. An endless road beside the sea.Silent houses.Iron gates.And something waiting behind them. Every night at exactly 3:00 AM, the dream grows darker. What begins as unease slowly becomes terror when a grotesque figure finally steps beyond the gate and begins chasing him through the endless road of the dream. But the horror does not end after waking. The fear follows him into reality. Sleep becomes something to dread. Familiar places begin to feel wrong, and the line between nightmare and the waking world slowly starts to disappear. As the seventh night approaches, one question begins to consume him: What if the thing behind the gate is real? Inspired by recurring dreams and the fear surrounding 3:00 AM, 7 Dreams Ago is a psychological horror story about nightmares, superstition, and the terrifying possibility that some dreams are not dreams at all.
