But fate intervenes, and only the enduring power of a dream can help them fulfill that destiny. Absorbing, imaginative, and tender, Ramji crafts a vivid narrative that explores the universal longing for connection and meaning. Once Upon a Dream is ultimately a moving reflection on resilience, the ties that bind us, and the timeless power of love.

Basically, a compelling story is an extraordinary set of events (spawned by characters & circumstances) that have either happened, or are happening unbeknownst to us, or are slated to happen - we hope soon, but don’t know when. Just such a story is Once Upon a Dream. Fortunately, we know that it’s already on paper in the form of a novel and will soon permeate our psyche – and oh, sometimes our lucid dreams – through a feature film. After all, “What you are seeking is also seeking you.” Once Upon a Dream Once upon a book Once upon a film... happens but once.
