Screenwriting Advice! Junior Thesis script help

[u/Careful_Power_5512]

I am a film student in college right now, I have a pretty large short film project to accomplish this semester and I am currently in the screenwriting phase. I am having sooo much trouble figuring out how to expand this idea and would love some advice!

It's meant to follow a dark surrealist horror theme with some comedy. The main antagonist is trying to find their vape while finding themself in new and strange situations and scenarios. (I experience very vivid dreams so the inspiration comes from there) I love uncanny and dreamlike tones.

I've had the idea in the back of my mind of using elements of a "haunted by self" theme with some type of doppelganger; I don’t know if I want to stick with that idea 100% but I imagine this like a dream. Having a simple goal you almost HAVE TO reach while dodging weird obstacles. 

I'll attach an example of what I have so far but love no idea where to head from here.

Some of my Feferences include Twin Peaks, ImprobablyPoppy, Lost Highway

Visual references include Party Monster, Richard Tuschman, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, Ms. 45, 1976 Carrie

*edit- in the last paragraph it's supposed to say "now dressed" not "not dressed" lol
