You'll have to find out, don't you?

(laugh)

Bring me some peanuts.

JULIA:
All right.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(GRUNTING)

Who sent you?

Get back.

Oh my God, Jack!

Julia, back inside.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(PANTING)

(GRUNTS)

Who the f*** sent you?

Aah!

SOL?

Who was it?

SFB?

(GRUNTS)

(CONTINUES GRUNTING)

JULIA:
Let us go!

Stop it!

Stop, or I'll shoot!

(MUSIC PLAYING)

BRINN:
You're scaring me.

You can't do this when

you wake up from dreams.

You gotta just try and forget about it.

It's so, it's so vivid,

every f***ing scene.

Every heartbeat.

I have no control.

Something's f***ing wrong with me!

I don't know what to do.

You're gonna be okay.

Gabriel.

Dr. Reese.

My pleasure to finally meet you.

It's good to meet you.

Why don't you come inside.

Please, have a seat.

Well, it's...

Everything's white.

Very... comforting.

(CHUCKLES)

Precisely.

I've look at your medical records.

Brain scan, MRI's seem normal.

This seems psychologically based.

I'm really just here for her.

- REESE:
Ah, Brinn.

- Yeah.

So tell me about these dreams

you've been having.

Sometimes they just

feel real, that's all.

Your wife said she found you

sleepwalking once.

This is more like, I wake up,

and I'm not really sure

if I was dreaming or not.

Gabriel, the unconscious

dream can become

borderline conscious.

Like, you're awake,

but you're still dreaming.

You want to wake up and get

out of there, but you can't.

To a certain extent,

we all have these...

So-called waking dreams.

In my waking dreams,

I'm chasing people.

I'm killing them.

The mind stores everything.

Television news, movies, billboards.

And these thoughts, these visual cues

can return to us quite

vividly in waking dreams.

How is your relationship with your wife?

What are you suggesting?

I don't make suggestions,

I ask questions.

I don't know, we fight,

I guess, sometimes.

Uh, she's shoved me a few times, but...

Am I going crazy?

No.

You're a hard-working man, Gabriel.

And you're stressed.

When I wake up from these dreams,

I get terrible headaches.

If you can tolerate it,

aspirin would be best.

I'm also going to put you

on a mild sedative.

One tablet in the morning,

one tablet in the evening.

And that's it?

Just take a pill?

Gabriel,

(SIGHS)

sometimes our problems are

not as complex as we'd hoped.

This should help with

the sleep and the anxiety.

(VOICE ON RADIO) Now tell me

that song doesn't make you

wanna dial up your

old high-school sweetheart.

Come on down to Estell's

Department Store,

where you're always treated like family.

Estell's, home away from home.
