we've deeply considered your case, your treatment history before accepting
you as a client. Okay, yeah, I figured. I mean
my mom said the wait list for Dr Carter is
like a mile long. Well, she insists on handling each
case personally, with my help, of course, but you'll see
(04:57):
when you get there. What we can do with awesome
is miraculous, and we are just a few pieces away
from bringing it to hundreds, if not thousands of people.
Was there something special about my case that will help
Dr Carter study? I hope I can help. I just

(09:57):
yourself a deal alfie. So you've seen the entrance and
the some room views and the grounds. Okay, so past
the hedge, you see the boardwalk by the water. It's
my favorite spot. We'll go later. We can swim in
the shallows without Blossom snitching on us with that whole
off grounds alarm. If you head down the hole over there, right,
(10:19):
you see the white shiny doors, that's all our rooms.
This is the common area, right. Okay, you've got your
slot machines, gaming and learning desktops. Oh, don't think about
email or social media's yeah, the doc series with the
parental controls, you know what I mean? Oh? This max
(10:40):
security looking space dore right here leads to area fifty one. Um,
are you saying that's where Dr Carter runs her study experiments.
You make it sound so mysterious. I mean it's a
labina basement, like who knows what could be hide and
beyond the wall. I wish it was that cool. Honestly,
(11:02):
it's quite pretty. I think she brought all her decort off.
Goop Sarah, you can't post an idea for the stands,
that's okay, I just lurk. Even then they can still
track you. Who would want to track me. The rough
Child's the New World Order. Everyone talks about Bill Gates,
but I'm really more worried about the waters. Don't worry, right,
(11:23):
I'll have es May sort you out. She's a proper techie.
I'll make you a list of every T and C
you should never have signed. Yea. Anyway down there is
Dr Carr's office and the Blossom Room. I thought this
thing was blossom Harper, help, May I help? Nothing? Blossom?
We're fine, thank you. You're welcome, Alfie. So the Blossom
(11:45):
Room right is the whole point of this entire place. Yeah,
that's where Dr Carter plugs your brain into the main
frame like Matrix style, so you can be like Neo
in your own nightmares. Okay, So moving right along the
vending machines, work with the Blossom band or you do,
just wave your arm at that sense of ah, here
(12:08):
it comes up PEP Squad Captain Julia. Right, meet Harper
just arrived. Oh we can finally play doubles in beach volleyball.
Why are you here? Rude? Hi, I'm Harper, Why are
you here? My parents? Finn drove me chill sis. I
was just joking about shut up myself. You need to go.
(12:34):
Are you taking the pitch? Get up Blossom coffin area enough, Julia,
the common area, Get out of my face. Just looking
at you gets on my nerves. She always like that.
(12:55):
M No, honestly, that was extra, even for Judio. All right,
but yeah, I think I'm okay. Our rooms are over there, right,
I'm I'm gonna go unpack m right of course. Hey
(13:23):
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 want
(13:50):
to find out what's really behind the nightmare. Had to
see you in your Nightmares dot com to uncover more
mind bending details. Yea, Harper. Dr Carter would like to
(14:11):
greet you. May I grant her entry. Oh yes, awesome,
Harper Hart. I'm Dr Carter. Welcome to the Lutwitch Center. Yeah, hi,
it's nice to meet you. Likewise, how are you finding
things so far? It's pretty here, but I also feel
(14:34):
like it's very surreal interesting. Enrolling into such an immersive
treatment program is bound to come with a bit of
de realization. It's just harder than I thought to Just
are you having second thoughts? I want to be here,
but it's been a while since I've met new people.
(14:57):
I feel like everyone can tell I'm you feel broken? Yes, exactly,
Your parents said you barely left your room for the
past year, isolated and insomniac, and then all this. You
already took the first step when you enrolled here. We're
(15:18):
here to assemble all the pieces of who Harper Heart
is meant to be. But what if I can't be fixed?
You let me worry about that. May I see your hand? Oh? Yeah,
not that one, the one you scraped during your altercation earlier.
(15:38):
Oh I'm sorry, she this may sting a little thank you,
of course. Ms take Yuci is reflecting on her actions.
I hope she apologizes the angsty one. Yes, Julia Takeuchi
(15:59):
a deeply troubled mind. Something wrong? This hard? I no,
did you hear that? Hear what Blossom? My band? Just
as Harper I heard someone I know news Sorry, no
(16:20):
present tense at least for me. Mm hmm. Does she
haunt you? You're kind of different than what I expected.
This whole place is yes, I'm sure well, you're exactly
as i'd expected. If I may ask, have you always
(16:40):
found it difficult to trust and open yourself up to others?
I didn't really need others. I always had my sister.
Looking at Callie made me feel more real than my
own reflection, not just because we're we were identical. She
just and ever had to explain myself. She always knew
(17:02):
exactly what I was thinking. I never questioned why I existed.
We just did. But now now she reflected your truth
back to you. Your sister served as your true mirror
in a sense, Yes, exactly. That's wow, my true mirror.
(17:28):
Thank you. It's nice thinking of her that way. I
didn't know I needed that. You'll find your new mirror here, Harper,
and I promise you that we all need our tokens.
I hope Blossom becomes one of yours. You should rest.
Group counseling will be in the sun room after dinner.
(17:50):
Your first rotation it's right after that. Thank you. Really,
of course starts that way. Every time numb tinkles creep
up my arms, I hate it. Man, I can't stop
(18:13):
fearing I'll be stuck like that forever. I've frozen in
the bed with these shadows and whispers worst parties. I
try screaming and it's like my body rejects me. Ain't
able to move above the wrist yet, but flexing fingers,
he's a start, So that's amazing progress old for a
(18:36):
close Fami. Did Dr Carter give you a goal for
the next session? Yeah? My whole hand, big man things,
isn't it the lady of the hour? Harper hearts? Hi. Hi, Sorry,
I'm late, and why do you think you have to
apologize and let the therapizing begin? Funny Mr Abilee Blee
(19:03):
only been two weeks. Thank you for being patient and
correcting me. Mr Billie Field it let's not do this again.
Mr Warren Alfie, move over so Harper can sit next
to me, sit between us. Thanks, Hi, Harper. I saw
you pull up during my son salutations. Was that a
(19:25):
Kenneth Cole suitcase? I don't know. My mom gave it
to me so cute. I love Rose gold I wish
alway had cute colors. IM ass me by the way, Oh, hi,
as my sorry, Yeah, I saw you doing yoga when
I was getting my blossom band's Harper Blossom, she didn't mean,
then you really should adjust her v O our system.
(19:48):
I'll let Dr Carter no, as my thanks, I could help.
It's like basic code. Maybe once your recovery is over
so soon, then Dr Carter's dope. Right, No, happy, We're
part of history in the making, Harper, Like this study
is high key revolutionary, and this place is perfect like
(20:09):
sunsets out here hit different total affirmation aesthetics. This place
feels sorry. I don't know, you really do apologize too much.
That's conditioning, you know, like we're trained to be subservient.
Good point. Yeah, but can we be social justice warriors tomorrow?
She's knackered, look her eyes glazing over. I already took
(20:32):
tune ups today. You look great. I totally couldn't tell
that was badhead um. Yeah, thanks. I just wanted to
say that it's easy to fall asleep here. It's calming.
Maybe it's the waves or the wind or right. Also, yes, imagery,
but it feels familiar, it's weird. I'm glad you're comfortable here, Harper.
(20:56):
Are you ready to start? We're starting? What about Chris?
Isn't heat coming? Broke out? Your best at leisure for
our lust joking residences? No, it's leg day yoga pants
are a necessity. He had a rough time in his
blossom rotation. He went to bed early, but he slept
like all day anyway. Julia is in self reflection, so
(21:21):
it's just the four of us. We're starting with our
four seven eights Harper. That means inhale for four, hold
for seven, exhale for eight seconds. Okay, okay, everybody, close
your eyes, let your minds relax, and focus on expanding
your breath throughout your body. Every time you hold for
(21:42):
seven seconds, a song will play from your wrists. Blossom
play lucid tone. When you hear that, use your inner
voice to identify yourself. Do that however you like. I
(22:02):
am blank, my name is blank, etcetera. I'm in a dream,
or I'm asleep, and repeat every time you hear the song.
Soon you're subconscious will make a pattern of it, and
you'll naturally begin to wake up inside of your dreams. Okay,
we'll breathe slow and easy, treat your lungs like a balloon,
(22:27):
and you control the airflow if it helps. Place your
hand on your belly. Now inhale on four one. My
name is Harper Heart, I'm seventeen years old. I'm at
the Lutwidge Wellness Center. I'm not going crazy. I'm not
(22:50):
going crazy anymore. Okay, we locked the lab door because,
as you can see, these stairs are pretty steep. Bit
of a hazard. Wow, I knew Alfie was joking about
(23:13):
the layer, but I'm really glad. It's not what I expected.
What did you expect our basement to look like like
a subway tunnel? But it looks more like the MoMA.
Well I think rotations are scary enough, no need for
creepy basements. All right, just down the hall, down this way,
allow me, and here we are. So this is the
(23:39):
Blossom Room, the one and only sit here and we'll
just lower you back now. Censors and everything are built
into this helmet, and it will feel a little awkward
at first, but it's lightweight, so you'll probably forget about
it in a couple of minutes. Okay, uh huh, and
(24:01):
that's it. Oh what's with the straps? Oh? Just for
patients with restless like syndrome or history of sleepwalking. Dr
Carter and I will both be monitoring things from her
office just on the other side of that wall. Will
be on the intercom if you need us Okay, don't worry.
Use the four seven eighths and relax. We're right here. Harper.
(24:25):
Anything feels wrong, just say so and we'll hear you. Okay,
you are not alone? Okay, okay, can you hear me,
miss Heart? Yes, Dr Carter, you're grounding yourself perfectly, Harper
Beta waves registering smoothly. Blossom became frequent sequence initiating subject

Heart session Subject Heart Harper session one active h m hm,
(25:14):
Dr Carter. Maybe Finn could sit in the room. I'd
feel safer if I wasn't alone. Is the inter common? Hello? Doctor,
I don't want you to think I'm not like right
