☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Dream That Wouldn't Go Away" follows an astronaut named Will Cramer who experiences a recurring dream of an underwater world where beautiful beings welcome him, telling him they have waited long for his arrival. When strange things begin occurring—a ball mysteriously appearing, lightning striking from a clear sky—Will realizes the dream may not be a dream at all. Three alien visitors present him with three capsules, each containing powers: one to destroy enemies without harming life, one to bring permanent peace, and one for destruction, revealing that the capsules can only be opened by will and that his world's fate depends on which one he chooses to open.
Ranger Captain Mike Cullen leads his platoon in securing the planet KL 9 after a tense landing, only to find the local society far less threatening than expected—especially its women, who respond to the Earthmen with a mix of amusement and unexpected charm. As the crew settles in, Cullen's growing closeness with a local woman begins to raise eyebrows, hinting at a deeper, more personal connection that could complicate the mission.
Willi Cramer, a shy outcast bullied by his peers, finds himself drawn into an underwater world after a daring act of kindness toward a wounded fish. There, he encounters three mysterious, beautiful women who offer him a life of peace and belonging—far from the cruelty he endured on land. Though he’s tempted to stay, Willi must return to the surface, forever changed by a dream that refused to fade.
Little Peter Breck grows up seemingly normal, but his parents soon notice a troubling pattern: whenever he’s upset, strange and dangerous things happen—like lightning striking a tree or a man breaking his back. As his powers become harder to ignore, the Brecks face a painful choice about what to do with a child whose very presence brings disaster.
