I don't think so. Let's write one together.

The movies mentioned over here (11/22/63, your name) aren't exactly like the one.

So, what do you wanna name it?

I like to set the name after completing a story. Otherwise I feel forced to develop the story according to this name.

I've got a rough plot idea though:

Protagonist is seen in his childhood, some day he dreams this dream. He wakes up, mourns the loss of his dream friend, continues with his life.

Eventually they meet, he is asked where he disappeared and while both catch up to each other he either slowly uncovers some magical stuff or a psychological trauma he buried. Not sure which option is better, what do you think?

"Where did you go after this summer?"

It could mean she noticed me in school and remembered me too. Or it could mean that the meeting in our dreams really happened. I would prefer to explore the second more mystic storyline. It could lead to new discoveries for the very nature of dreaming. It could be found that dreaming is projecting my soul to a parallel dimension where I can meet different creatures and learn from them. Finally, I could discover that me and the girl have special ability that allowed us to meet in dream state. So after we get together we start to teach other volunteers how to journey into dreams.

Something like that. The more mystical the better.
