I. What? What happened to me? I'm sure something happened but...I can't recall. Something must have happened if I woke up here though. I don't feel sick. Just...uneasy. Like I had a nightmare. ...Is that what it was? Another nightmare? I don't know...it hurt too much for a dream...My leg hurts, and I don't know how I hurt it. I can't remember,

A nightmare? Maybe you need to talk with someone about it?

[delusionalcheer]

...I think so. I can't really remember whether it was or wasn't, to be honest...It might be good to talk though, about this one, this once.

[mergingdreams]

What do you usually dream about? Was this one at all like the others?

[delusionalcheer]

No. It wasn't at all like the others. Not at all.

Ah, before I go on. This might seem like an odd question and I apologize for that, but, I was wondering...did you see me at all yesterday? Do you know...where I was, by any chance?

[mergingdreams]

I was supervising my own therapy groups for a majority of the day...and I had nothing to do with all the 'incidents', I'm sorry. I'm fairly new here myself, I'd afraid the head doctors are introducing me to how things typically operate around here almost insultingly slow.

To answer your question directly, no, I do not.

But tell me. What was your dream?

[delusionalcheer]

That's all right. I simply thought it might be worth asking; it's fine that you don't know.

I don't remember many details. ...But it was bright. And I was trapped to a table. Some kind of surgery. I think? ...I was scared.

But more importantly, I can't seem to remember anything from yesterday. It's strange, right? I was told I fell, and that's how I hurt my leg. ...But. I'm not so certain. ...Ah, this probably all seems a little strange of me though, right?

[mergingdreams]

A little strangeness is expected of everyone here, I think. Don't worry.

...But dreams can be stranger still. Fear in dreams usually indicates a particular point in someone's history that they have not yet psychologically or emotionally overcome. Have you ever had an experience where you'd felt a fear like that before...perhaps not the same scene...but the same emotion.

[delusionalcheer]

I suppose that's true. I've been in enough of these institutions to know.

Not....not exactly. Mm...how to put this. I have nightmares fairly often, and I'm usually scared or upset somehow. But...I don't know. I'm probably just thinking too much about it. It almost felt...too specific, or too real, I guess. ...And I know it hurt. I've never felt pain in a dream before, not like that. ...Again though, perhaps I'm just thinking too much about it. Maybe it was just something a little different.

[mergingdreams]

On the contrary, I don't think we think enough about it.

I'd like you to record all the details you can, about this and any future dreams.

Behind these....acute details could be meanings we've yet to engage. But soon, perhaps, there will be a chance to do further work with this.

[delusionalcheer]

...Yes. I will. I'll...try to remember them a bit better, then, in the future.

Mm. Maybe. Anything's possible.
