Jacob

Narcolepsy あらすじ・解説

Once inside Jacob’s world, waking is no escape.

Living with narcolepsy means his nights don’t end when his eyes open. Dreams fracture into waking hours. Nightmares repeat, evolve, and refuse to reset. Voices follow him. Rooms shift. Doors lead nowhere—or somewhere worse. When Jacob seeks help, he’s told something far more disturbing than a diagnosis: some minds never fully return.

As Jacob drifts between therapy sessions, hallucinations, and moments that feel too real to be imagined, his grip on reality begins to slip. Familiar places become distorted. Strangers feel scripted. Loved ones appear, vanish, and reappear with different intentions. No matter how hard he tries to stay awake, something always pulls him back under. Narcolepsy is a psychological descent into liminal spaces, recurring dreams, and the terrifying question of whether free will survives when the mind betrays itself.

Will Jacob ever return?
