Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hay Handsomniacs. This is Heather Iine Horn, co creator of
See You in Your Nightmares. To fully immerse yourself in
the nightmare experience, headphones are recommended. Stay tuned for the
next episode, but first a quick word from our sponsor,
Iron Horn's Epic Productions, and I Heart Radio present See

(00:22):
You in Your Nightmares in three D Headphones recommended. Blossom

(00:52):
Run Acoustic Folk playlist, open log I've begun to record.
Went through hell last night. Alfie's rotation, his hypothermias symptoms
got so bad. We had to waken from the dream
that has never happened before. It took so long to

(01:13):
get him out of sleep paralysis. Something scared him, something
he saw in there. I can't believe a dream actually
induced something like this that that seemed to override the
physical world. Julia, how do you keep getting out before
lights up? Give me a pull, Finster, No, dude, I'll

(01:34):
totally snitch about Fine, take the pack, but if you
get caught, I'll in take the same as a nigrette.
This is illegal, Like you care. Just stop giving me
chances to blackmail you Like I'm not stupid. You just
keep thinking I'm under your thumb kid just like Dr

(01:56):
Carter awesome playlist off run Aromatherapy, verdant Green. I wonder
what sleeping Beauty is gonna wear it today? See you

(02:27):
in your nightmares. Morning Blossom said they got pancakes on
the menu, and to Maeric buckwheat cakes. Yeah, I'll pass.
It's really good. Sub honey for syrup. It's heaven, I swear. Okay,

(02:51):
how did you sleep? As Welwsom said, I only woke
up three times last night? Hey, not bad, Alfie, you up? Yeah,
give me a sack open. Nice catch. It's beach day.
You weren't kidding about the volleyball, not even slightly. You

(03:12):
brought swimmers. I don't do bodies of water bigger than
my bathtub. Must have had a ball on the ferry.
Luckily I've passed out for most of the ride. You're
even cuter than yesterday. How is that possible? I accept
your praise, but the client your advance is love. My
fancy leans all the way towards hench alpha buffs with

(03:33):
broad shoulders. I'm just happy you're happy. I wanted to
apologize for not taking your secret seriously. I actually last night,
for the first time, I had a new dream if
it was anything like your nightmare? Ire you taking the
p You say that a lot? What is that? Oh,
I'm saying, are you joking? You broke your nightmare pattern

(03:57):
on day three? M Oh yeah, I mean my dream
changed in my first rotation, but this one was. Yeah,
I kind of escaped. That's amazing. My dream sucks. We're
playing our rivals back home, the wolves, except their actual wolves,
hunting me down while I'm trying to score. Yeah, I

(04:18):
get devoured by marionette versions of my bullies back at school,
and it's my gainst for some reason. And yeah, I
wake up after they start skinning me alive. Uh, mine
seems pretty tame compared to all of that. It hasn't
changed at all since you got here. We try dr
carter uses blossom to boost our beta waves, so we're

(04:39):
not afraid to like face the outcome of our dream.
At least we're not supposed to be afraid. It's gnarly
while we're in it, but usually we feel better the
next day. Right, even if I'm turning into rabid wolf
chow every night during the day, I'm not as wiped
as I would be back home. Usually I dream I'm
back home, coming from school. Probably as soon as i'm inside.

(05:05):
It's a horror movie. Hey, Julia, what do you want? Nothing,
It was just being nice. You have to act like that.
It's okay, thanks, So your dreams like a horror movie, Harbor. Yeah,
it's my sister, my twin Callie, like a group of Callie's,

(05:30):
but not how I want to remember her. They all
look the way I saw her in the Morgue, bloated
and pale, and they're all blaming me and talking about
strings and ice and hunting. They tell me to go
through this door at the end of the hall, but

(05:51):
I can't. That's it. Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. Incs.
I didn't mean bre that's so painful. I'm so sorry. Yeah,
she died last year. She was my mirror. That's what
Dr Carter said, my true mirror. You were twins, right.

(06:16):
Have you heard about the studies done on twin photons,
Not humans, but tiny packets of light. Each photon has
a twin, and no matter how far apart they are,
even across the universe, whatever happens to one photon affects
its twin. It's called quantum entanglement. So tiny bits of
light are connected across galaxies, like the force. It's being

(06:38):
studied more for teleportation. But there's a term I really
like for when it occurs, resonance. Twin photons resonate when
one reflects the experience of the other. That's awesome. I
like thinking we're still connected. I really believe it. Sometimes
a science doesn't lie thanks as me. Maybe you could

(07:00):
try dreaming that you're finding her starlight in space or
something like that. Good luck with that, space cadets. What
was the point of her coming in here? And she
didn't even have breakfast? She has zero chill. I heard
Finn asking about her brother once after group. Right, it
seems like he raised her on his own. Yeah, either

(07:24):
they were opened or they got the hell out of Dodge.
I guess runaways. I feel for her, but Julia finds
out you spread that secret, Alfie, She's going to kill you.
She is tiny, but my is hell. She reminds me
of Callie sometimes when she's just quiet. Their stillness is
the same. Right, we convene at lunch to sort out

(07:48):
teams for volleyball. I heard new girls making progress already.
That's not anything you should concern yourself with Julia, this

(08:11):
treatment isn't working. Maybe for her, but not for me. Doc,
I despise that nickname. I have a title, respect it blossom.
Begin session file name six of the one underscore session
to six one for Julia Takeuchi. Have there been any
changes to the figure in your recurring nightmare that you

(08:33):
call the smiling man? Why are we doing this my
rotations tomorrow? Please answer the question? What's the point? I
understand your frustration, and you've been in this program for
so long, but show virtually no improvement. Acting like a
brat with me isn't going to help us get to
the core of your disorder. I'm fine, we both know

(08:55):
that's not true. My nightmare is ex actually the same,
no changes, no enlightening perspectives, just the same. And while
you're awake, notice anything different. Why don't you just get
rid of me too? I don't want to be here anymore.
Are you implying that I've abandoned patience in the past? I? No,

(09:22):
But have you ever seen me engage in misconduct during
my study? I don't remember. I don't trust you. Your
beta waves during rotations are consistently impressive despite your nightmares. Unfortunately,
your mental state is too fragile. If I see no improvement,

(09:43):
or you continue to antagonize the other residents, I'll have
no choice but to isolate you to the outbuilding. I
miss her? Who who do you miss? Is there someone
you miss aside from your brother Garrett? No? No, no one?

(10:08):
How do you feel about the new resident, Harper Heart?
She's stupid, punchable face. It's pretty, but she sucks? Is
that all? Sorry? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. No wrong,
Julia Takeuchi. Every time you try to remember, you will

(10:31):
choke on your words. Thinking about the past makes you
sick to your stomach. Your grief has been twisted and
you cannot trust your own mind. Accept the command. She
is receding into the darkest corners of your mind. Julia.
The door is locked and there is no key. Your

(10:55):
memories of her are fading away like a dream. Upon waking,
My memories of her are fading. You are happy without her, Julia, No, yes, Julius.
You are getting stronger every day without her. I am
getting stronger every day without her. When I count backwards

(11:21):
from twenty, you will wake up feeling refreshed. You will
not remember that we had this conversation. Julia, I will
wake up feeling refreshed. Dr Carter, Dr Carter, checking instance,
you're late for our note session. You know not to

(11:41):
disturb me when the room is indigo, So sorry, just
checking instance. This wasn't on the schedule. I'll be there
when you see me there. Forget that happened to Julia.
But don't forget that kid is a pompous ass. Sometimes
I will not forget that kid is a pompous ass sometimes.

(12:04):
Hay Insomniacs want to dive deeper into the nightmare. Follow
us at Harper Nightmare for more terrifying details. More See
You in Your Nightmares is up next, But first a
quick word from our sponsor. Hey, Insomniacs, welcome back. I

(12:32):
want to find out what's really behind the nightmare. Had
to see you in your Nightmares dot com to uncover
more mind bending details. Oh got it? Whoa nice Molly Harpers?

(12:58):
Are you ready for me? Alfie? There's my ready to block? Yep?
Oh god, Chris, Yeah, I'm good. Sun cut in my eyes.
I was slick man? Did you just spumble on purpose?
Who as? Oh wait, you totally did. Why else would

(13:20):
both of you be snickering? Seriously? I wouldn't. I'm athletic too,
I'm in mathletes, competitive cheer. I even mastered on carrasana
last week. So like, just because I can't deal with
things being thrown at my face as is, calm down,
I'm not perfect. What are you talking about? That's me.
You're like the most beautiful, accomplished, brilliant person I've ever met,

(13:45):
and I'm from New York. Don't gass me up. Seriously,
come on as you're just anxious because you've got rotation tonight.
Don't let it ruin a fun day. Yeah, probably just
Harper got so good so quick, and I really want
Dr Carter to acknowledge my potential. But I'm not making
progress as Hike. You as her you don't have to.

(14:08):
You're perfect. The way you are looks like you've got
this Chris. Listen to Chris as my feel better Finn
hops and that Matt fent in to the board. Whoop,
you still got my floating right here as you can see,
my friend, Hey, don't go far, you know possible sound

(14:30):
the alarm? Thanks for watching over a spin? What do
you need careful? Thanks for watching over spin? Like, make
sure to watch me walk away? What is that you've
been the thirstiest seventeen yearld I ever saw. I am

(14:50):
not literally bad. Okay, now that you're woking noble, But
five seconds ago I thought you had an invisible hula
spinning on your hid. Dude, seriously, I dare you said
that way? Don't worry. It was on the sand. I'm
not used to walking on loose, hot, sinking sand floors. Okay,

(15:11):
should I call the math Maybe he'll take his top off.
That should quit you. I will fight you, Julie. She
really disappears a lot. Can you tell me more about
your dream from last night? I didn't tell the duck,
but mine changed too. Maybe the aliens are beaming down
the signal. Finally it started the same, but almost immediately

(15:38):
Blossom beeped, and then it got glitchy again, and I
heard my sister and I turned to look, and suddenly
I'm in this ice cold, deserted high school hallway. Instead
it was freezing, and I heard shouting and I realized
it was you, So I followed your voice. I could

(15:59):
hear you screaming your life, and when I finally found you,
you were being dragged down the hallway by this alien
thing like like translucent, gray and horrifying. It was like
a shark with human skeleton, and its tail was a
serious weapon. It had no nose or mouth, into trapped
us by the glowing thing and almost bit our heads off.

(16:21):
Yeah yeah, wait yeah so wee Yeah, we had the
same dream, no way what you just described in it.
The high school, the freezing cold, the monster, me about
to get eaten. That's my dream, been by nightmare every

(16:41):
night since I was twelve. How is that possible? No idea?
So was that ghost thing you mean you saw it? Yeah,
well I'm going and starving. Her eyes were pitched black
all the way around. That's what I saw my first
night here. Yeah, it was proper terrifying. Man. Thanks by

(17:05):
the way for what you saved me. I just you
saved me. Ain't nobody ever stepped in like that, Not
in dreams, not even in real life neither. Maybe people
should try it again. I could try to help you
with your nightmare. Yeah, maybe it's worth a shot. Maybe
this is part of the whole lucid practice. Whatever happened,

(17:28):
I'm dying to try again. It's so much easier facing
monsters with a friend besides you. In it, You're like
straight up, Ellen Rifley last night Blossom enabled lucid Tom,
