0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and Realm.

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 2>We have a lot of work to do and I've

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>missed you. Sys come back to me.

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Are you serious right now?

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Is this a dream?

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 3>No, this is not a fucking dream. I can't believe

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 3>this is a first conversation I'm having with you in

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 3>seven years.

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 2>I know, I can't believe you called me.

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 3>You called me? No, I didn't look at how going

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 3>on your phone?

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Who called too? Is irrelevance?

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 3>What do you want, Sadie?

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm just happy you answered, even if it was a

0:00:58.520 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>sleep dial.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 3>I deleted your number and didn't recognize it. And a

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 3>sleep dial is not a thing.

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes it is, And who would know the neuroscientist or

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>the podcaster?

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 3>Are you drunk right now?

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I've been thinking about you. I wish I would have

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>called while I was awake. Maybe our conversation would be

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a little more touching than it is right now.

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 3>What'd you think was gonna happen? You thought I was

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 3>going to start crying and say I love.

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 2>You, I want you back in my life.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 3>It's too late for that.

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I have a proposal for you, or a job offer,

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 2>if you want to keep it professional. Come up here

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>and document my project. All you need to do is

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 2>record everything like you always do. One session, twenty four hours.

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely not after this, Craft will be mentioned alongside Newton

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>and Einstein. No, I'll give you ten thousand dollars.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>What's your project?

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell you?

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Tell me, or I hang up.

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I need to show you I'm hanging up. You're not

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the only person I'm talking to about this.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 3>You didn't talk to Gwen Gibbs, did you.

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I want us to reconnect. If you don't want to

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>do that. If you can't forgive me, well, I understand.

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe that shit. I can't believe I actually

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 3>came here. I'm at Craft Sleep Center in Haven Mill.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 3>I think this is one of now twenty locations nationwide,

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 3>but this one's not listed anywhere. It's like it doesn't exist.

0:02:55.240 --> 0:03:04.519
<v Speaker 3>Ugly building, brutalist architecture, very sady. Okay, Morgan, I'm recording.

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 4>I see wearing a shirt with the red dot that

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 4>says I'm recording.

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.239
<v Speaker 3>Kind of gave it away, just trying to be ethical.

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Sadie says, you've been very successful with your podcast stuff.

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:15.399
<v Speaker 4>I'm so happy for you.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 3>By the metric of not living on the streets. I

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>am indeed a major success. Can't believe you're still under

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 3>my sister's boot. Yeah, well, I'm sorry that didn't come

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 3>out how I meant it.

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 4>You know I need her, she needs me. I can't

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 4>wait for you to see the session tonight. You'll be

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 4>the first outsider we've let in.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 3>This isn't bullshit, is it? You guys really did something

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 3>that's an understatement? So where is she now?

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 4>You know her? She's in her cave. She could see

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 4>a mushroom cloud in the distance and keep working. Why

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 4>don't I give you a tour? These are the sleep

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:57.559
<v Speaker 4>steady rooms.

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 3>A young boys room, iron Man figures strown about, Batman

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 3>themed bedsheets, It's Marvel or DC pick a side kid.

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 3>I was expecting the rooms to look a little more sterile.

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know. For long term studies. We will literally

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 4>ship someone's entire bedroom here. It reduces variables. It's especially

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 4>helpful for children. See this one is different, a little

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 4>more adult.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.159
<v Speaker 3>Is this the hedge fund? Asshole? Sweet?

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 4>We do need to have some wealthy patients to offset

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 4>the costs of our more speculative endeavors and to pay

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 4>for the children whose parents are financially strained.

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Sadie approved treating children pro bono. She said it would

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 3>be good pr that makes more sense.

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 4>I like working with the kids, though at present we're

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 4>just a skeleton crew with one patient at a time.

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 4>You should meet Diego. He's our computer programmer. What the

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 4>hell was that you weren't supposed to hear?

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>That?

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Was that a snuffl No.

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 4>Forget you heard that. It'll make sense later, it will

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 4>trust me.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh okay, okay, thank you.

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 4>Come on, let me show your room.

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm alone in my room now I can finally unwind.

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 3>It was good to see Morgan again. She's been my

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 3>sister's right hand woman since I was young. Don't have

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 3>high hopes for the snuff film. Guy, I feel like

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 3>I might be in some kind of Rosemary Baby scenario

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 3>right now. I'm so damn tired. I'm going to take

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 3>a nap.

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>What's that? Oh?

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 5>Hello, Hi, I'm doctor Johannes on this. I'm the fourth

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 5>horseman of dream Sequence.

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 3>What's sequence?

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 5>It's what you came here to see. Saty asked me

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 5>to come get you. It's starting.

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let me get out of my pjah.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 5>There's no time come with me.

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 3>This is also weird.

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 5>And oh glorymos, excuse me, means you're sensing owls in

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 5>the bog.

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh, there's owls in the bog. All right, Josie entry

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 3>in room one. Calibrate Power, surg handle it, Morgan, it'll hold.

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 4>It's gonna be pushed to the brink and then stabilized

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 4>right at eighty five.

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:36.919
<v Speaker 6>It's at eighty five already and we haven't even started

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 6>processing box Alon yet.

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Focus on your job, I'll focus on mine.

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm in an observation room for computer stations and sixteen

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 3>monitors in total from the labels. Some monitors are brainwaves,

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 3>neural code, brain imaging, and something called may NAT. I'm

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 3>standing behind doctor Anders, Morgan Diego, and my sister Sadie,

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 3>who somehow has not yet noticed I'm in the room.

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Even though I'm talking.

0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 7>Out loud, I know you're here.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm resisting the urged to shut up after seven years.

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 3>That's my greeting fitting staring out a big two way window,

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 3>and on the other side there's a young woman sleeping

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 3>on the bed. I assume this is Josie Power.

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Just hit eighty five, eighty seven, ninety five. We're gonna

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>lose it.

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Relax ninety seven, ninety eight, ninety nine. I am watching,

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 3>That's why.

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 6>I'm yelling ninety eight, ninety four, ninety eighty five, eighty

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 6>five eighty five f off, say.

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 7>Fuck, Morgan, you're forty years old. Tessel transitioning from padawaves

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 7>to delta.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Josie's eyes move very quickly left and right, like she's

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 3>watching a tennis match, playing on her eyelids. Morgan activated,

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 3>What the hell am I listening to show me the cortex?

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 3>My sister just pulled up the very conticuilt image of

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Josie's brain. Bright lights fire off.

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 5>And on, noodles BPM one done, She's said of us.

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 3>Should we wake her up?

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely not?

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Why are you doing this to me?

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 3>Drink it? But it's gasoline. Rink it. No one, open

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 3>your throat, swallow it. She doesn't moving out of delta.

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 3>She's not moving out of delta. The may or not

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 3>can't handle the rubber eighty nine eighty five. Turn it

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 3>off now, I want to. We'll lose everything. Turn it off.

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>We lost it.

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 7>We'll get it tomorrow.

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 3>Josie just sprang up out of bed, scared out of

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 3>her mind.

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 7>Andrew Soeller fill out her dream journal.

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 3>I thought again, what the fuck did I just.

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 7>Witness dream sequence? That's what I've been working on for

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 7>the last seven years. What was that You didn't figure

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 7>it out? I think I need to hear you say it.

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 7>That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. Holy fucking shit,

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 7>stay document the project. Do this with me?

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Are you trying to get out of pain that ten

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars? You promise me?

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 7>I'm serious.

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Did you really reach out to Gwen Gibbs?

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 7>I don't know who that is. I just let you

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 7>think that because I know how motivating hatred can be.

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 7>You're manipulating me, not with lies.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 3>This machine is approved in everything. You're allowed to be

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 3>doing this. We passed the review board a year ago.

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Or not hurting people, There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 7>They're just dreams.

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 3>I'll stay on one condition. You have to be one

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent honest with me. If you lie to me,

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm gone. Okay, there was a sound in the nightmare

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 3>and you all reacted to it like it wasn't something

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 3>you wanted to hear. Why.

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 7>It comes from a nightmare figure, and that figure is recurring.

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 3>But that's typical of nightmares, isn't it?

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 7>When I say it's recurring, I don't mean just in Josie.

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 7>I mean in every single subject we've tested. The others

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 7>came here one at a time and aren't aware of

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 7>each other's existence. They've all encountered the same figure.

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 3>So what does that mean?

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 7>I think it means that something is alive in our nightmares,

0:11:29.960 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 7>and when we hear it, it hears us.
