Netflix promises to take lucid dreaming to a new level in its animated film, In Your Dreams. Adults have iconic films like Inception or A Nightmare on Elm Street, and now, the world of lucid dreams is being shown to children as well. This new comedy from Netflix demonstrates how fun and crazy the world of children’s dreams can be. The trailer is full of everything a child could dream of—tons of sweets, toys, and the embodiment of any fantasy—all in the style of anime. It seems the movie will have something for lucid dreamers of all ages.
At the center of the plot are a young girl named Stevie and her little brother, Elliot. They travel through the absurd landscape of their dreams. To save their parents’ marriage and get a chance at the “perfect family” from the Sandman, they must stand against a snarky stuffed giraffe, zombie breakfasts, and the queen of nightmares. This animated film embodies what every lucid dreamer has experienced at least once: insane plot twists, absurd situations, and the opportunity to face their fears head-on, presented in the most ridiculous form.
According to Forbes, the creators of the animated film based the characters on themselves as well as their brothers and sisters, and the stuffed giraffe became the prototype of their favorite toys from childhood. It’s predicted that the character will be popular, and there are already plans to sell it as a real toy for Christmas.

The animated film will be released on November 14, 2025. The trailer is available on YouTube.
