Day 9/12
11:38PM-6:48AM
I always that dreams within dreams were something that writers made up to make their stories more interesting. It seems stupid, but think about it. I'm thirty-two years old and I always heard about dreams within dreams happening in movies and books. Never to me or anyone I know or have even heard of.
Last night, I was proven wrong. Maybe it's the new facility, but I want out of this study. It's my personal opinion that things have gotten way out of hand. You would think that you people learned your lesson during the Stanford Prison Experiment in 1971, the same summer that my grandfather directed his followers to murder four people, and personally killed one.
As I mentioned when you interviewed me for this study, my family has a history of sleep disorders. My grandfather was never diagnosed but he likely had insomnia. My mother has sleep apnea. So, both sides of my family.
Last night, things went too far.
Last night, I was in Margaret Kelly's house. Her smile was wide as she served me a drink. A mojito, I remember. The Carpenters, her favorite musicians, was playing on the record player.
"We're going to try for a baby," said Margaret. "After Munich, of course. I'm going to retire."
I smiled at her, unsure of what else to say. Even in the dream, I knew her fate. All the same, I knew I couldn't tell her. And then I saw the date on the calendar. July 4th, 1971. And I thought I heard a car pulling up the house.
Then, I woke up in my bed in this new facility, or so I thought. I heard pounding on my door. Foolishly, I opened it, thinking someone had breakfast. Instead it was Alex Altman, wearing black, brandishing a knife.
She looked so much like Esther, the aunt I never met but Dad says he still thinks about often. Without a word, she stabbed me to death. In the dream, I felt the stab wounds, and my sides feel like they still hurt. Why is that?
I know it's not your fault that I had this dream, but I'm about at my limit.
Have a good day.
