Plot
Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane) has lost their only son. To replace it, they adopt Cody, an orphan boy (Jacob Tremblay). When Cody is asleep, he starts dreaming. And when he dreams, all his dreams get materialized in reality. Sometimes these dreams are nice and pleasant, but other times they might be nightmares that will affect not only him but also those around him. Mark and Jessie try to find out what is going on with Cody and put all their effort on helping their new son. Mike Flanagan has directed the film, director with little experience to date, but solid, and all developed in the horror genre. The film still has not a release date in Spain, but it will make his debut in Italy in November.

Trivia
'Somnia'
The film was originally titled 'Somnia', which would have turned it into the third Mike Flanagan's film with a Latin word title along with 'Absentia' and 'Oculus'.
Darkness for a while
"One of three movies directed by Mike Flanagan to be released in 2016, the others being 'Hush' and 'Ouija: Origin Of Evil'."
The butterflies
None of the butterflies that appear in the beginning of the film have antennae. After a boy draws antennae on one of Cody's drawings of a butterfly at school, the butterflies in the film have antennae. This shows how Cody's dreams are easily influenced by others.
