- They have become progressively worse.

Atrocious. I have not slept well in weeks.

What about doctors? -They are useless.

This starting to affect my work.

Is this the real reason you're here?

- I'm here because I am your friend.

One of the projects that I'm in charge...

Contains the best specialists

in the field of dreams.

I'll be honest with you.

I think these dreams have a reason.

- What do you mean?

Is my responsibility to bring

the world back to perdition.

This nuclear madness must end.

I myself lead the delegation to anger the

Geneva next week.

John, not mean that.

I know that you support with this...

But I'll make a disarmament

treaty with the Russians.

One thing at a time. My first

priority is your peace of mind.

Mental peace v.? What the

hell is peace of mind?

I just want these damn nightmares disappear.

- That's what we all want.

And if I may, I think I can help ..

How often this happens, Mrs. Webber?

- Something like twice a week.

I wake in the middle of the night to

discover that George is not beside me.

Encentro And always in the same place, the

lawn outside the house in pajamas, calling me.

When she wakes me when Melanie,

I do not remember what I dreamed.

Only I have this terrible

feeling of anxiety.

The neighbors are starting to believe

that George is a little crazy.

Has lately been under unusual pressure.

No, not much really.

The situation at home, as you take it?

If you mean our sex life, George

has had some problems lately.

I think it's a fad.

Not so, how dear?

Oh yeah, sure, absolutely.

I'm just a bit down.

- Do you have any pressure at work?

Your dreams are the key to their problems.

I think he sold that Quiff

is the key to their problems.

You could come and watch her sleep. That

would be your first practical application.

And when you come?

- How about tomorrow afternoon?

Right.

The EEG is stable. Alex is ready.

What Webber?

This phase MRO.

Alex, get ready.

Have you been married?

No.

Well, it is a picnic let me tell you,

have to be watching all the time.

My house is as follows I do not want to

give warning, if you know what I mean ..

Well this is how we will, you see

from behind and I enter in the front.

And remember, do not take prisoners.

Are you frightened boy?

- No.

Then we go.

Over there. Ve

Come.

Oh my God.

- George.

Even with my brother.

- Hi George.

In front of children.

I see under there. Phil, Dave,

Herby, beautiful friends who are.

Good God. Save it I'm Jewish.

Sorry Mr. Webber.

- You Mr. Fukuda?

What do you think?

- It is very simple.

Mr. Webber suppressed inside

an inferiority complex.

Difficult because you feel less sexually.

In other words...

- He believes that his wife is cheating.

With this we know already that we face.

Now that we solve the problem maybe you can

help me Webber with one of my problems.

Sure, What's it about?

Driscal Buddy, the boy nightmares.

I want to go.

That's impossible. We have already

lost a psychic with this Alex.

Do not understand. The kid is going

crazy and no one seems to give a damn.

This is nonsense.

I would be happy to help the boy.

Then let me go. Look, our research is to help

kids like Buddy, What the hell do we do?

This project will not destroy

go too fast, you see?

O go with Buddy or I get

out of the project.

Then this out.

I'm doing this against my principles.

Thank you.

- Do not thank me, this is not my idea.

Do you drink?

it can be a rough trip

already that, just tell

me I can do to help.

There is a tribe in Malaysia. Senoy called.

The people of dreams.

They believe that the world of dreams

is as real as the real world.

Children are taught never to lose control

in nightmares.

They face fears and conquer them. I think
