Speaker 4: So do we have to do this every time?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: We do? Was there anything unique?
Speaker 4: It was filled with blood? What else? There were pones?
Speaker 5: And then I was somewhere else. There was a woman crying.
Speaker 5: I think it was my mom. There was a fire.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 4: And then I saw it and I had this feeling
Speaker 4: like what like it wants something from me?
Speaker 6: Transition back to end to beginning, activate, mayor not?
Speaker 7: Mayor not on? Power stabilized at eighty five percent.
Speaker 8: What am I listening to?
Speaker 2: The brain is creating puzzle pieces to be put together
Speaker 2: during ram It's the birth of a dream. Is there
Speaker 2: are more beautiful sound?
Speaker 7: How about the sound of your daughter's voice?
Speaker 2: Would you judge me? If I said yes, then I
Speaker 2: shouldn't need as a question.
Speaker 3: I'm answered, moving the rum, hook us up? Here we go,
Speaker 3: get down, turn it up?
Speaker 6: What's going on? I'm going with them?
Speaker 9: It's not on my ends?
Speaker 2: Better than normal?
Speaker 6: So everything's perfect. We built a five million dollar static machine. No,
Speaker 6: no one has anything to say, but I don't care
Speaker 6: who it was. I want it fixed.
Speaker 3: Who Morgan?
Speaker 6: Did you just throw up.
Speaker 2: On my feet?
Speaker 8: Morgan? Are you feeling better much?
Speaker 7: Thanks for asking?
Speaker 8: I was wondering if you had a minute to talk.
Speaker 8: I'd love for the listeners to get to know you better.
Speaker 7: Oh, they don't care about me, Sadie's the one that
Speaker 7: always talks to people. I'm just someone who goes into
Speaker 7: work every day.
Speaker 8: There's more to you than work. Not really, you have hobbies, right?
Speaker 7: Does work count?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 10: Then?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 8: Hey, diego, is now a good time?
Speaker 3: Good time for?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 8: Did you get the note I left?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 8: It said I was going to come by to ask
Speaker 8: you some questions about yourself or to let me know
Speaker 8: if there was a better time to chat.
Speaker 3: I didn't get the note.
Speaker 4: You did.
Speaker 8: I just found it right here in the trash.
Speaker 3: Can oh that?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I needed to work and you put it on my keyboard.
Speaker 9: It was in the trash before I knew what it was.
Speaker 9: Kind of your fault, really, Sadie.
Speaker 6: Fuck off? Sorry, I didn't mean that.
Speaker 8: Then can I come in and you can be the
Speaker 8: first person to actually let me interview them?
Speaker 6: When I say I didn't mean that, what I meant
Speaker 6: is I didn't mean to phrase it that harshly. However,
Speaker 6: the general fuck off sentiment that I did mean sorry,
Speaker 6: I didn't mean that either. Just give me some time.
Speaker 8: I'm trying, okay, but I'm getting really annoyed because you're
Speaker 8: trying looks an awful lot like you're not trying at all.
Speaker 6: If I don't fix this problem, you'll have nothing to
Speaker 6: document anyway. Fixing this has to come first.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey me, Yeah, who are you? I'm Sadie's sister.
Speaker 4: Is that what you want me to call you? Or
Speaker 4: do you have a name? I'm okay, Hey, I'm Josie.
Speaker 4: Are you just visiting Sadie.
Speaker 8: Or kind of documenting the project?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 8: Cool?
Speaker 4: Are you like super smart too?
Speaker 8: You'd think so, but no, I guess there was not
Speaker 8: any smart love for me after Sadie was born.
Speaker 4: What did you get instead?
Speaker 8: Self awareness and credit card debt?
Speaker 4: I can relate what brings you.
Speaker 5: Here, well, desperation mostly. I've been having nightmares every night
Speaker 5: for years. When I tried therapy, I tried drugs and
Speaker 5: nothing's worked, So I figured why not give a super
Speaker 5: secret experimental treatment a try?
Speaker 2: Cool?
Speaker 5: I mean, we'll see I've been sleeping under observation every
Speaker 5: night and talking to that Swedish guy. But I haven't
Speaker 5: gotten any better. They haven't even told me what they're doing. Honestly,
Speaker 5: I'm starting to wonder if they're doing anything at all.
Speaker 7: I've run every possible test, I've checked every wire.
Speaker 3: I've been on a bug hunt with Vaux alone for
Speaker 3: forty eight hours. Haven't found one.
Speaker 6: That's gotta be something we're not thinking of, obviously, don't
Speaker 6: be an asshole.
Speaker 3: What is your sister doing here exactly?
Speaker 6: She's documenting dream sequence.
Speaker 3: And the day after she gets here the Mayor Nott
Speaker 3: stops working.
Speaker 6: You think she sabotaged it.
Speaker 3: Maybe she wants to steal our work and sell it
Speaker 3: to Nextech.
Speaker 6: Let me get this straight. My sister, who used to
Speaker 6: think the periodic table was about her menstrual cycle in
Speaker 6: one day under our noses, sabotage one of the most
Speaker 6: sophisticated machines ever invented, and she did it so ingeniously
Speaker 6: that it no longer works but still appears fully operational.
Speaker 9: That's what you think, not necessarily, but I don't think
Speaker 9: that someone with like one failed podcast is the right person.
Speaker 3: To share this with the world.
Speaker 8: Diego be nice that was me being nice?
Speaker 7: I love Kay, But why does she need to interview us?
Speaker 6: Is that a big deal? What if people actually listen
Speaker 6: to this.
Speaker 8: I don't want to be made fun of online.
Speaker 6: What do you hate about my sister?
Speaker 2: Nothing? But I do think it's questionable and ethically that
Speaker 2: you want me to discuss patient progress with her.
Speaker 6: We paid our lawyer a lot of money to write
Speaker 6: their contracts so that they're not technically your patients. They
Speaker 6: know this. You know this.
Speaker 2: A contract may say you one thing, but my heart
Speaker 2: says another.
Speaker 6: Okay, diego. Kay is not a criminal mastermind. She's not vindictive,
Speaker 6: and she's not a hack. It just seems like she
Speaker 6: is to you because you're the least funny person in
Speaker 6: the world. Morgan, You're an amazing, accomplished woman. You can't
Speaker 6: be afraid of the internet. Anders. I respect your integrity
Speaker 6: up until the point where interferes with what I want.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry contracts supersede your heart. Now can we please
Speaker 6: fix the fucking machine?
Speaker 8: So you've been here two months?
Speaker 6: Two months?
Speaker 4: Holy shit, I've lived in.
Speaker 8: Worse What did you grow up in the Amityville House?
Speaker 5: After my dad left me and my mom lived in
Speaker 5: Wakem Tower for a bit.
Speaker 8: No way, were you there when it happened?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 4: Uh, we got lucky.
Speaker 5: My mom got a promotion and we moved out the
Speaker 5: night before the fire.
Speaker 6: Whoa yeah.
Speaker 5: So whenever I'm feeling sorry for myself because of this
Speaker 5: stream stuff or my voice or whatever, I just remember
Speaker 5: that kids my age died in that fire, like a
Speaker 5: lot of them.
Speaker 8: What do you mean, what's wrong with your voice?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 4: Just that I can't sing anymore?
Speaker 8: Why not?
Speaker 4: It's kind of a crazy story.
Speaker 8: Well I got time tell me.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 5: So when I was twenty one years old, I was
Speaker 5: studying to take the MCAT and in my free time
Speaker 5: back then, I used to sing and play guitar, and
Speaker 5: I loved it. The m Cat was to make my
Speaker 5: mom happy, and the singing was just for me. The
Speaker 5: night before the test, though, I got a phone call
Speaker 5: from this booker who had a last minute cancelation and
Speaker 5: wanted to know if I could play the gig, which
Speaker 5: would have been my first paying show, and I was
Speaker 5: so excited about it. But there was no way I
Speaker 5: could do that and still make the test.
Speaker 8: Oh my god, what did you do? Well?
Speaker 4: I'm not a doctor. Yes, you almost wanted to kill you.
Speaker 5: But no, I'm not a doctor because I told the
Speaker 5: booker I couldn't make it, and then I failed the
Speaker 5: mcat anyway, shit, Yeah, And that night I had a
Speaker 5: dream that I was in this big, dark forest and
Speaker 5: I was running from something. I could hear people screaming,
Speaker 5: but I didn't know what was chasing me, but I
Speaker 5: knew that if it caught me, I was going to
Speaker 5: be screaming too. And I'm running so fast and I
Speaker 5: don't look where I'm going and I fall into this
Speaker 5: pit of black tar and all this tars going down
Speaker 5: my throat and I'm drowning, and right before I go under,
Speaker 5: something grabs my hand and it's the dark thing that
Speaker 5: was chasing me. But it says it wasn't trying to
Speaker 5: kill me. It was trying to save me, and it
Speaker 5: can wake me up if I want, and I know
Speaker 5: it's lying, but I'm like so so scared. I mean,
Speaker 5: I know this was just a dream, but I'm telling you,
Speaker 5: this fear was not like anything I had ever experienced before.
Speaker 5: And I say, okay, And then I woke up and
Speaker 5: my mom was standing over me, and she said I
Speaker 5: had been screaming for almost an hour and she couldn't
Speaker 5: wake me up. I screamed for so long I messed
Speaker 5: up my vocal cords, and now I can't sing anymore.
Speaker 8: Jesus Christ, Josie.
Speaker 5: And this dark thing that pulled me out. Now I
Speaker 5: dream about it every night, and the dreams are always different.
Speaker 4: I'm in new.
Speaker 5: Places, people move in and out, but it's always there,
Speaker 5: in one form or another.
Speaker 6: I call it.
Speaker 5: Manifold, and it's not chasing me anymore because it knows
Speaker 5: that I owe it, and if I don't give it
Speaker 5: what it wants, I'll find myself back in the forest
Speaker 5: with the fear, and nobody will be around to wake
Speaker 5: me up.
Speaker 8: Talk got a minute.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be engaged within my domain.
Speaker 8: The patients before Josie, what did they dream about?
Speaker 2: They all had different preoccupations. Hectorymenez dreams of his teeth
Speaker 2: falling out, or his nails or his hair. John Brakes
Speaker 2: Dreamps are being trapped in a coffin or a room
Speaker 2: where the doors and windows would disappear and the walls
Speaker 2: would close in.
Speaker 8: So you record them, right, right? Could I hear one?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 2: Of course they're here on the sheared drive. I can
Speaker 2: find it. Just give me a sick. Sorry, that's not
Speaker 2: the right thing.
Speaker 8: Wait what is that? Is that Sadie's dream?
Speaker 2: No, that's a live recording. Sadie is training herself to
Speaker 2: lucid dream.
Speaker 8: Can I hear the rest?
Speaker 11: It's dimly lit. The document it's in front of me
Speaker 11: are written in English Times New Roman, font size twelve.
Speaker 11: I'm now pushing my hand into the documents and I'm
Speaker 11: hitting firm resistance from the wood table underneath. I'm moving
Speaker 11: my hand to touch the wood directly. It is smooth.
Speaker 11: It is now four h two am.
Speaker 8: Huh.
Speaker 2: Let me find the right session.
Speaker 8: Please don't be offended by this. But you don't have
Speaker 8: any idea what a shared drive is, do you?
Speaker 2: I promise myself I wouldn't get old.
Speaker 8: But no, no, no, look it's confusing. I can help you.
Speaker 8: You're in the local drive and this one here is
Speaker 8: the shared drive.
Speaker 2: Ah, thank you. These are my files. This is Annabel Roft.
Speaker 13: And it comes after me every night and it won't
Speaker 13: leave me alone. And I don't know what to do.
Speaker 13: When you said it, what are you referring to?
Speaker 2: Going to laugh? I will not.
Speaker 13: I call it the dream stalker. But you know it's stupid.
Speaker 13: It is not stupid. But you described multiple scenarios. Yes, snakes, paralysis,
Speaker 13: men with knights, they're all the dream stalker. They're all
Speaker 13: the same thing, or it's some other thing pretending to
Speaker 13: be those things so it can learn from me.
Speaker 2: What is it trying to learn.
Speaker 8: What scares me most?
Speaker 2: This is one of her dreams, sir?
Speaker 10: Oh, what's wrong? A little miss?
Speaker 3: It's after me again?
Speaker 10: What is a monster?
Speaker 2: I don't know something.
Speaker 10: I'm going to take care of you. I hunt monsters.
Speaker 10: Why don't you just take a seat, take.
Speaker 12: A seat, give me a weapon or something.
Speaker 10: It won't do you any good.
Speaker 6: Then why do you have a machete?
Speaker 10: I was once like you, afraid of the wrong things.
Speaker 10: I wasn't lying. I am a monster hunter. The thing
Speaker 10: is the monster is you?
Speaker 8: Did you hear that when she was in the liquor store? Hear?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 8: Can you send me that file?
Speaker 6: Did you go through the code base from the beginning?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I can't find any errors?
Speaker 2: Do you go?
Speaker 6: Is it possible the new vauxlaon paps? I know what's
Speaker 6: wrong with the mayonad.
Speaker 8: I was listening to one of the Annabel Rough nightmares
Speaker 8: and I recognize something playing from the TV in the
Speaker 8: liquor store, and it's the same static from Josie's scream.
Speaker 8: I don't think it's malfunctioning at all. I think it's
Speaker 8: recording exactly what she's dreaming.
Speaker 7: She's dreaming of static.
Speaker 8: Sort of listen. So what there was a tiny spike
Speaker 8: at the end, And if it's static from a malfunction,
Speaker 8: there shouldn't be a spike. And if there's no malfunction,
Speaker 8: then like, what is it? So I slowed it down
Speaker 8: and this is what I got. I think it's subliminal messaging.
Speaker 2: It's very nice the work you've put into this, but
Speaker 2: dreams don't have subliminal messaging.
Speaker 8: Maybe that's the wrong term, but I think the subliminal
Speaker 8: aspect is why Morgan threw up. The sound was messing
Speaker 8: with her head. And if that's what's hiding in the spike,
Speaker 8: then what's in the rest of the static that was
Speaker 8: Josie's nightmare? First low down by twenty five percent, then
Speaker 8: fifty percent them back to normal. The static is in static,
Speaker 8: it's voices.
Speaker 3: All right, fine, that's interesting.
Speaker 7: How is this even possible?
Speaker 6: Maybe the dream wasn't meant for Josie, it was meant.
Speaker 7: For us, as in something created this dream, so we'd
Speaker 7: record it and it would scramble our brains, head, nose.
Speaker 3: We're there, not this shit again.
Speaker 2: We don't non chest at water, So why don't we
Speaker 2: try to be respectful and open?
Speaker 8: What if it's in the other nightmares too, Morgan?
Speaker 2: Are you all right? Mine?
Speaker 3: Grab our head?
Speaker 10: What the fuck?
Speaker 12: Turn off the fucking static you're listening to?
