"They live in a dream called J014" is the third film in the J014 series which continues the story from the second episode. The film starts with a news story of an actual aeroplane crash, in which the missing passengers and the wrecked plane are both thrown into Schrödinger's box, and the quantum state of the past, present, and future is disrupted and condensed into a dream known as J014. The triple dream worlds enacted in each of the three time periods in the work move asynchronously under the unknowable momentum of time. The past and the future map the present and are mapped at the same time. All events exist in a huge aggregate called J014, each as a link to the other.
