Maybe we should just
stop talking about it, all right?
We keep talking about it, we'll keep thinking
about it, then we'll keep dreaming about it.

Did you know
that after the heart stops beating...
the brain keeps functioning for well over seven minutes?
We gut six more minutes to play.
-You okay?
-Yeah. Im just really exhausted.
Here.
-What's that?
-Zoneral.
It's basically speed for kids with ADD.
I've been on it since I was, like, 15.
No. No. No, thanks.
Nancy, look, youre running on fumes. Here, okay? Are you sure? Its--
Yeah, I'm fine for now.
I didn't take you for the religious type.
Yeah, well, you gotta believe
in something, you know?
Whats this one doing here?
It's The Pied Piper of Hamelin.
I saw it in one of my dreams. Its about
a guy whos betrayed by a town...
...and he gets his revenge
I keep dreaming about children too.
And then there's also a school.
Well, its gotta mean something.
Yeah, but, I mean, what? We didnt go to
school together until, like, 6th grade.
-Look, we're running cut cf time.
-What do you mean?
Nightmares are triggered by the belief
that the dreamer has no control...
...and this can cause insomnia.
But then it says at the 70-hour mark...
...the insomniac will begin
to experience micronaps.
"His brain will shut down its functions
for seconds in an attempt to recharge."
This basically means that you're dreaming,
but you don't know it.
Like, even if you're awake.
And then it says that after that,
your brain will shut down, inducing a coma.
Which is permanent sleep.
Nancy?
Nancy?
Nancy.
Yeah?
Hey.
Hey.
Where have you been?
I was at the bookstore.
Okay, well,
I didn't know where you were.
And I just feel like, with everything
that's been happening with your friends--
Hey, Mum?
Do I have some sort cf connection
with Kris...
...and Dean and Jesse?
Or Quentin?
Like, maybe we went to school together
when we were little or something like that?
Not that I can recall.
Did we ever know a guy named Freddy?
I don't think so.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
Hey, it's Gwen.
Nancy's starting to remember.
Honey, you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, Mum.
-All right. I'm going to bed.
-Okay.

No one can prove I was ever here.
Who are you?
You don't remember?
