Dr. Marcus: Trembling What the hell do you want now, Claire?
interesting...so what do you think it means?
Sighs heavily, speaking in hushed tones I don't know, Doctor. It's all so confusing.
therapist wonders if there is something he is missing any other details that may help us understand what this means?
Cusses under their breath, clearly frustrated Dammit, there's gotta be something we're missing, some hidden message or clue.
well, do you feel anything when you have these dreams? like anxious, scared, happy?
Raises an eyebrow, trying to recall their emotions during the dreams Well, it's hard to say.
ok, so tell me how you feel right now.
Takes a deep breath, trying to be honest Right now, I feel confused, overwhelmed, and more than a little scared. Like my whole identity is just... floating in limbo.
therapist nods do you feel as if your a woman in these dreams?
Dr. Marcus starts to experience intense physical symptoms, including chest pain and shortness of breath, as their therapist tries to help them understand the significance of their dreams.
the therapist calls a nurse to bring in a wheelchair as Dr. Marcus begins to faint...
Faints, falling into the arms of the nurse who brought in the wheelchair
the nurse wheels Dr. Marcus to the hospital room
Wakes up in the hospital room, surrounded by medical equipment Where am I? What happened?
the nurse smiles gently at Dr. Marcus you were having an episode, Dr. Marcus. It seems that your dreams are affecting you more than we thought.
Looks around the room, still disoriented I...I need to understand what's happening to me. I can't just sit here and do nothing.
the nurse nods I'll call the doctor, and see if he can run a few more tests for us. the nurse leaves the room
Takes a deep breath, determined to take control of the situation I can't wait for the doctor to figure this out for me.
the doctor comes in, reviewing Dr. Marcus' chart well Dr. Marcus, it appears that your condition may be linked to your dreams. We're going to run a few more tests to determine the cause, but right now, we think it may be due to a traumatic event in your past that has caused your mind and body to become mixed up.
Nods, taking in the doctor's words So, it's possible that my past has come back to haunt me in a way I never expected.
the doctor nods it's definitely a possibility. But until we have more information, it's best not to jump to conclusions, Dr. Marcus.
Determined I understand, but I can't just sit here and do nothing. I need to find out the truth about my past and what it has to do with these dreams.
