Speaker 1: and Realm.
Speaker 2: We have a lot of work to do and I've
Speaker 2: missed you. Sys come back to me.
Speaker 3: Are you serious right now?
Speaker 2: Is this a dream?
Speaker 3: No, this is not a fucking dream. I can't believe
Speaker 3: this is a first conversation I'm having with you in
Speaker 3: seven years.
Speaker 2: I know, I can't believe you called me.
Speaker 3: You called me? No, I didn't look at how going
Speaker 3: on your phone?
Speaker 2: Who called too? Is irrelevance?
Speaker 3: What do you want, Sadie?
Speaker 2: I'm just happy you answered, even if it was a
Speaker 2: sleep dial.
Speaker 3: I deleted your number and didn't recognize it. And a
Speaker 3: sleep dial is not a thing.
Speaker 2: Yes it is, And who would know the neuroscientist or
Speaker 2: the podcaster?
Speaker 3: Are you drunk right now?
Speaker 2: I've been thinking about you. I wish I would have
Speaker 2: called while I was awake. Maybe our conversation would be
Speaker 2: a little more touching than it is right now.
Speaker 3: What'd you think was gonna happen? You thought I was
Speaker 3: going to start crying and say I love.
Speaker 2: You, I want you back in my life.
Speaker 3: It's too late for that.
Speaker 2: I have a proposal for you, or a job offer,
Speaker 2: if you want to keep it professional. Come up here
Speaker 2: and document my project. All you need to do is
Speaker 2: record everything like you always do. One session, twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Absolutely not after this, Craft will be mentioned alongside Newton
Speaker 2: and Einstein. No, I'll give you ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: What's your project?
Speaker 2: I can't tell you?
Speaker 3: Tell me, or I hang up.
Speaker 2: I need to show you I'm hanging up. You're not
Speaker 2: the only person I'm talking to about this.
Speaker 3: You didn't talk to Gwen Gibbs, did you.
Speaker 2: I want us to reconnect. If you don't want to
Speaker 2: do that. If you can't forgive me, well, I understand.
Speaker 3: I can't believe that shit. I can't believe I actually
Speaker 3: came here. I'm at Craft Sleep Center in Haven Mill.
Speaker 3: I think this is one of now twenty locations nationwide,
Speaker 3: but this one's not listed anywhere. It's like it doesn't exist.
Speaker 3: Ugly building, brutalist architecture, very sady. Okay, Morgan, I'm recording.
Speaker 4: I see wearing a shirt with the red dot that
Speaker 4: says I'm recording.
Speaker 3: Kind of gave it away, just trying to be ethical.
Speaker 4: Sadie says, you've been very successful with your podcast stuff.
Speaker 4: I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 3: By the metric of not living on the streets. I
Speaker 3: am indeed a major success. Can't believe you're still under
Speaker 3: my sister's boot. Yeah, well, I'm sorry that didn't come
Speaker 3: out how I meant it.
Speaker 4: You know I need her, she needs me. I can't
Speaker 4: wait for you to see the session tonight. You'll be
Speaker 4: the first outsider we've let in.
Speaker 3: This isn't bullshit, is it? You guys really did something
Speaker 3: that's an understatement? So where is she now?
Speaker 4: You know her? She's in her cave. She could see
Speaker 4: a mushroom cloud in the distance and keep working. Why
Speaker 4: don't I give you a tour? These are the sleep
Speaker 4: steady rooms.
Speaker 3: A young boys room, iron Man figures strown about, Batman
Speaker 3: themed bedsheets, It's Marvel or DC pick a side kid.
Speaker 3: I was expecting the rooms to look a little more sterile.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. For long term studies. We will literally
Speaker 4: ship someone's entire bedroom here. It reduces variables. It's especially
Speaker 4: helpful for children. See this one is different, a little
Speaker 4: more adult.
Speaker 3: Is this the hedge fund? Asshole? Sweet?
Speaker 4: We do need to have some wealthy patients to offset
Speaker 4: the costs of our more speculative endeavors and to pay
Speaker 4: for the children whose parents are financially strained.
Speaker 3: Sadie approved treating children pro bono. She said it would
Speaker 3: be good pr that makes more sense.
Speaker 4: I like working with the kids, though at present we're
Speaker 4: just a skeleton crew with one patient at a time.
Speaker 4: You should meet Diego. He's our computer programmer. What the
Speaker 4: hell was that you weren't supposed to hear?
Speaker 2: That?
Speaker 3: Was that a snuffl No.
Speaker 4: Forget you heard that. It'll make sense later, it will
Speaker 4: trust me.
Speaker 3: Uh okay, okay, thank you.
Speaker 4: Come on, let me show your room.
Speaker 3: I'm alone in my room now I can finally unwind.
Speaker 3: It was good to see Morgan again. She's been my
Speaker 3: sister's right hand woman since I was young. Don't have
Speaker 3: high hopes for the snuff film. Guy, I feel like
Speaker 3: I might be in some kind of Rosemary Baby scenario
Speaker 3: right now. I'm so damn tired. I'm going to take
Speaker 3: a nap.
Speaker 2: What's that? Oh?
Speaker 5: Hello, Hi, I'm doctor Johannes on this. I'm the fourth
Speaker 5: horseman of dream Sequence.

Speaker 5: to come get you. It's starting.

Speaker 5: There's no time come with me.
Speaker 3: This is also weird.

Speaker 3: in room one. Calibrate Power, surg handle it, Morgan, it'll hold.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be pushed to the brink and then stabilized
Speaker 4: right at eighty five.
Speaker 6: It's at eighty five already and we haven't even started
Speaker 6: processing box Alon yet.
Speaker 4: Focus on your job, I'll focus on mine.
Speaker 3: I'm in an observation room for computer stations and sixteen
Speaker 3: monitors in total from the labels. Some monitors are brainwaves,
Speaker 3: neural code, brain imaging, and something called may NAT. I'm
Speaker 3: standing behind doctor Anders, Morgan Diego, and my sister Sadie,
Speaker 3: who somehow has not yet noticed I'm in the room.
Speaker 3: Even though I'm talking.
Speaker 7: Out loud, I know you're here.
Speaker 3: I'm resisting the urged to shut up after seven years.
Speaker 3: That's my greeting fitting staring out a big two way window,
Speaker 3: and on the other side there's a young woman sleeping
Speaker 3: on the bed. I assume this is Josie Power.
Speaker 1: Just hit eighty five, eighty seven, ninety five. We're gonna
Speaker 1: lose it.
Speaker 3: Relax ninety seven, ninety eight, ninety nine. I am watching,
Speaker 3: That's why.
Speaker 6: I'm yelling ninety eight, ninety four, ninety eighty five, eighty
Speaker 6: five eighty five f off, say.
Speaker 7: Fuck, Morgan, you're forty years old. Tessel transitioning from padawaves
Speaker 7: to delta.
Speaker 3: Josie's eyes move very quickly left and right, like she's
Speaker 3: watching a tennis match, playing on her eyelids. Morgan activated,
Speaker 3: What the hell am I listening to show me the cortex?
Speaker 3: My sister just pulled up the very conticuilt image of
Speaker 3: Josie's brain. Bright lights fire off.
Speaker 5: And on, noodles BPM one done, She's said of us.
Speaker 3: Should we wake her up?
Speaker 7: Absolutely not?
Speaker 2: Why are you doing this to me?
Speaker 3: Drink it? But it's gasoline. Rink it. No one, open
Speaker 3: your throat, swallow it. She doesn't moving out of delta.
Speaker 3: She's not moving out of delta. The may or not
Speaker 3: can't handle the rubber eighty nine eighty five. Turn it
Speaker 3: off now, I want to. We'll lose everything. Turn it off.
Speaker 2: We lost it.
Speaker 7: We'll get it tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Josie just sprang up out of bed, scared out of
Speaker 3: her mind.
Speaker 7: Andrew Soeller fill out her dream journal.
Speaker 3: I thought again, what the fuck did I just.
Speaker 7: Witness dream sequence? That's what I've been working on for
Speaker 7: the last seven years. What was that You didn't figure
Speaker 7: it out? I think I need to hear you say it.
Speaker 7: That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. Holy fucking shit,
Speaker 7: stay document the project. Do this with me?
Speaker 3: Are you trying to get out of pain that ten
Speaker 3: thousand dollars? You promise me?
Speaker 7: I'm serious.
Speaker 3: Did you really reach out to Gwen Gibbs?
Speaker 7: I don't know who that is. I just let you
Speaker 7: think that because I know how motivating hatred can be.
Speaker 7: You're manipulating me, not with lies.
Speaker 3: This machine is approved in everything. You're allowed to be
Speaker 3: doing this. We passed the review board a year ago.
Speaker 3: Or not hurting people, There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
Speaker 7: They're just dreams.
Speaker 3: I'll stay on one condition. You have to be one
Speaker 3: hundred percent honest with me. If you lie to me,
Speaker 3: I'm gone. Okay, there was a sound in the nightmare
Speaker 3: and you all reacted to it like it wasn't something
Speaker 3: you wanted to hear. Why.
Speaker 7: It comes from a nightmare figure, and that figure is recurring.
Speaker 3: But that's typical of nightmares, isn't it?
Speaker 7: When I say it's recurring, I don't mean just in Josie.
Speaker 7: I mean in every single subject we've tested. The others
Speaker 7: came here one at a time and aren't aware of
Speaker 7: each other's existence. They've all encountered the same figure.
Speaker 3: So what does that mean?
Speaker 7: I think it means that something is alive in our nightmares,
Speaker 7: and when we hear it, it hears us.
