You have a team.

First I've heard of it,

really.

But, guess you're gonna have to get back to

work sooner than you thought, Catherine.

- It's all over.

- Okay, enough about work, Bill.

So, Catherine,

that dress is so nice.

- Uh, your...

- Check, please.

You think I'm a burden?

What?

I can get a job, Michael.

You want a job?

I want a baby.

- Catherine.

- I want a baby.

We talked about this.

We said we would wait two years,

it has not been two years.

It's just, I'm ready now.

I've spent a year waiting.

Well, I don't think I'm ready

for that, babe.

Michael.

I'm serious.

I got loads of stress at work.

We just talked about it at dinner.

The company is downsizing.

They're not looking out for me

and babies cost money.

We gotta be smart about this.

It's not just your decision.

Well, it's the last thing I wanna

talk about right now, okay?

Catherine?

Baby!

Catherine?

Baby, you hear me?

Catherine?

Catherine!

Where is she?

Catherine?

Where is this woman?

Baby!

Catherine, I'm calling you!

Catherine!

Catherine!

Catherine, get off the street!

Babe.

Babe, are you all right?

It's okay. It's all right.

It's okay.

Let me get you a towel.

Okay, come on. Gotta get

you out of those wet clothes.

There you go.

Oh, babe.

What happened, babe?

I don't know.

I don't want to talk about it.

Okay.

But you gotta talk

about it, baby.

You have to.

You were in the middle of the

street, babe, in the pouring rain.

You could have been killed.

And I could have been killed.

You're gonna have to talk

about it.

I have a sleep disorder.

Like, what do you...

It only happens when

I'm under a lot of stress.

It's embarrassing.

It's not embarrassing.

It's dangerous.

It's not embarrassing.

You have to be able

to talk to me.

I'm gonna get you

another towel, okay?

Thank you for waiting.

So, uh,

please help me understand

what's happening.

Yes, of course.

There are several stages

of sleep.

One, which is a light sleep,

which you drift in and out of.

And then REM sleep, which is

your deepest state of sleeping.

Sigmund Freud believed

that dreams were safety valves

for our subconscious desires.

In other words, it allows us to

act out things in our dream world

that wouldn't be safe to do

in the real world.

You see we have pons

in our brain that send signals

that cut off neurons

to our spinal cord,

which is why you normally

can't move when you dream.

A sort of temporary paralysis.

I was standing in the rain.

I mean, why wouldn't I wake up?

Yes, well, sleep and dreams are just

recently being researched effectively.

But what we do know is that whatever

you subconsciously believe to be real
