Just gave this a quick read, a few thoughts... just my opinion of course
1) The formatting is a little off, the title page should be just whote, no need to shade it... same for the sluglines
2) In a script the action lines should describe what you intend the audience to see, it must be intended for the screen, so sections like
'ADAM is laying in his bed dreaming about this little girl. She is 12 years old with long blonde hair. He has been having these dreams every night. He is abruptly woken up by his alarm.'
don't work unless you intend this to be a dream sequence and film it... if this is the case then it needs to be a separate scene.
3) Action blocks should be brief and punchy and clearly show the action, you need to re-read some of these to make sure they are clear.
4) You need a new slugline when changing scenes... Adam goes from his bedroom, down some stairs and into the kitchen, this needs re-formatting.
5) Characters names only need capitalising the first time they appear in the script.
6) You don't need direction like 'the camera follows them', a director/dp will figure that out themselves.
7) There's a few places where you've omitted words, have another read through.
8) Some of the dialogue reads a little flat, try saying it out loud and see how it sounds.
9) He finds a note with co-ordinates on and realises that they are the co-ordinates to his ol house... this doesn't ring true as houses aren't normally known by their co-ordinates (zip or post codes normally), so it feels wrong unless he's a map reader.
10) You need to re-format the following
Well then let's go. (pats Adam on the shoulder) She'll be there.
The patting bit is action so needs a line n it's own/
11) Same with the next few lines... parentheticals in dialogue aren't on the same line as the dialogue, check out some of the scripts on here to see how it's done
12) The end reveal doesn't work for me, Jake doesn't seem phased by his dead friend appearing out of nowhere and the end sequence is all just Jake explaining what's happened, no action.
