About this movie

Ben's life is on a predictable but seemingly perfect path, with success in his future in both his career and personal life. He has a fine fiancee, a great job working for her dad, and it looks like he may be about to take over her dad's practice as a psychologist once he ties the knot with the daughter. But a chance encounter with a beautiful woman named Nadia changes everything. After meeting her, recurring dreams of her turn into something much more. He finds he is able to connect with Nadia in dreams, getting her real phone number through a dream initially, then going on beautiful journeys together through their past memories, in dreams. Ben must decide if this one in a million connection actually is real, and if he is meant to throw away a good life, for... literally, the girl of his dreams. WAKING is a romantic, funny, heartfelt look at what we are all meant to do in life, and the search for that incredible moment where it all becomes clear.

Ratings and reviews

I can't help but think it could have been so much more though. There should have been times when we should have been really fooled into thinking certain scenes were not a dream sequence but real. In all it was pretty predictable in most parts. I liked the movie but I would not want to see it a second time.

I have never gotten chills from a movie the way this one hit me. It was and always will be a constant reminder of how and why I met and fell in love with the man I have been with for the past 26 years. And married to for almost 24 of them. If you haven't had a chance to watch it, I strongly recommend that you do. It teaches us that sometimes you have to push yourself beyond that last mile you possess (or in his case 500 miles ) when real love is worth the effort . my son made me watch this and I will forever be grateful

Great movie
