Before I Wake Page #2

Even if we're awake.

We can even achieve levels of

REM's sleep while we're awake.

It's called "a waking dream".

It's more common than you think.

Just felt very real.

Yeah, I'm sure it did.

But, waking dream,

any dreams actually,

are convorsation that we're

having with ourselfs.

Every character in your dreams

is actually just you.

And when we're trying to

bury uncomfortable emotions,

or ideas, or we feel threatened,

sometimes the only outlet they

have is our subconscious.

It's normal for us to feel huanted,

by our past, by our losses,

by the children we lost.

But, Jessie, know.

Sean is not haunting your home.

The question is what are you

trying to say to yourself?

What unresolved emotions

are strangling to get out?

That's pretty.

It's a monarch.

Don't they have...

I guess so.

Thank god, where did you

find him this time?

He's in the maintenance shed,

which will be locked from now on.

Oh, No. Not your seat.

You know where you going.

Is this everything?

I'll do sweep.

Hey, pal.

How are you doing?

Are you alright?

Who is that?

Well, it's our son.

His name was Sean.

Where is he?

Well...

He's in heaven.

That's where my mom is.

Tell me, what was she like?

I don't remember her.

How did Sean go to heaven?

We wish he hadn't.

As like I'm sure you wish

your mom hadn't.

He looks fun.

Are you in fear losing your car?

Sounds familiar?

What do you mean, Cody?

What happens when you dream?

I won't do it again.

Please, don't be mad.

- Oh, hey. Pal, we're not...

- Honey, we're not mad.

I hope you have a good day, Jessie.

You too.

I wish we could've heard his voice.

Alright, who wants to set the table?

- Come on, buddy.

- Pizza!

- I think you have to dive into the water.

- Okay, you're... okay.

Okay, That's one more

round for you, buddy.

Hey, Cody.

You know, yesterday you were

asking about Sean?

You want to see him?

Yes, please.

When's the last time you

had a real Christmas?

I don't know.

You will this year.

- Here he comes, here he comes.

- He's coming, he's coming.

- He came! He came!

- That's him.

Merry Christmas, baby!

What do you think?

- I think it's a train.

- Why? Did it whistle?

Oh, did Sean write train?

I don't remember...

you sent to Santa

you think about the train.

What is it?

I can't see it.

What do you think, hun?

North Pole Express.

Do you know who lives in there?

North Pole Express.

- Santa lives there.

- Yes, he lives there.

North Pole Express.

Oh my god, come on,

fight back, buddy.

You can escape.

He used to give me Eskimo kisses.

You see how he does that?

Where you going, buddy?

That's right, you didn't sleep well

last night, right?

In this house it's okay for you

to relax.

You're home.

Now get some sleep.

I'm putting on another pot.

Oh, let's call it the night.

- he's a tough, and he needs to sleep.

- I know, baby. so do we.

Let's go to bed.

I'm going to make another pot.

Okay. I'll go to bed.

Jess.

Jess.

He came! He came!

I think it's a train!

Why? Did it whistle?

Cody.

I am always with you.

Let's go to bed.

What is that?

The Canker Man.

Sometimes, if I do this,

it keeps him away.

- Boys are home.

- Hi there.

Okay, go on.

- Are you hungry?

- Yeah, I'm a little hunger.

Yeah? Okay.

Why don't you go upstairs,

and wash your hands,

and come back and tell me

all about your day?

Okay? Okay.

Are we going to talk about this?

He needs to sleep.

Okay, he needs to sleep.

Yeah, Cody needs to sleep.

But, Jessie,

is that what it is about?

Or is this about Sean?

Okay.

What are you doing?

This feels wrong, Jess.

This...

I felt wrong...

when you... you puting that DVD.

And then...

It hasn'n felt right since.

It feels like abuse.

- Abuse?

- Yeah.

Abuse?

We promised to take care

of that child.

Not use him like some

home movie projector for...

That child needs to sleep.

And if he can help us heal...

We need to heal, Mark.

- He can help us heal.

- This is not healing.

I saw it in your face.

You felt it too.

Yeah, of course.

If you want to go to bed,

go to bed.

Jess.

I'm staying here,

and I'm waiting for Sean.

Well, it's not our son,

and it's not Sean,

and it's not our son.

I'm not going to let you

take him away from me again.

Again?

I'm sorry.

- Again?

- I'm sorry.

No. Not fair.

It's not fair. Not fair.

maybe you should visit

the nurses room.

Can I just stay here?

I have to step out,

just for a minute,

Why not you put your

head down and rest?

Cody, what's going on?

Let's go home.

What happened?

A kid run away.

- At least two days.

But it's been going on

since he first got home.

I'm giving him Zolpidem.

It's a paediatric Ambien.

Just a pill before bedtime

should do the trick.

It's just to get him started.

We can't let him stay up

for days on end.

Sleep deprivation at this age

can do real damage.
