[Tell] To Recursion.SabastianStores: I'll text you with the address shortly. Mind if one of our newer counselors joins us for training purposes?
[Tell] Recursion.SabastianStores: Not at all.
[Tell] To Recursion.SabastianStores: Our office is located on the top floor.
[Tell] Recursion.SabastianStores: I will be there shortly.
*You target [SabastianStores] the level 1 Awakened.*
*[SabastianStores] is friendly.*
SabastianStores: SabastianStores nods to you.
SabastianStores: Hello
Variel: Hi Sabastian. Welcome to our office. I'm Elizabeth, this is Ellen.
Variel: Please come in.
SabastianStores: Oh, nice to meet you both.
*Ldyhawk nods at SabastianStores.*
Ldyhawk: Nice to meet you as well
Variel: Please have a seat, Sabastian.
SabastianStores: Ok
Variel: So, what can we do for you?
SabastianStores: Well do you take insurance?
Variel: Don't worry about payment. We provide services for free if there is no coverage.
Variel: We're not for profit.
*Ldyhawk nods.*
SabastianStores: Great! What a releif
Variel: So you're having dreams?
SabastianStores: Yeah, they're kind of strange. But I suppose you hear that all the time
Variel: Well, we do get a lot of people that are interested in learning more about the imagery in their dreams, which can be disturbing or upsetting. Tell us about yours.
SabastianStores: This one is kind of embarrassing; Well, I am single, you know, and I am driving along in a real nice car...
*Ldyhawk nods.*
*Variel takes out a pad and pen and begins making notes.*
SabastianStores: It's not my car, but I think in the dream it is. Anyway, I attract women with the car and act very charming. Moreso than when I am awake.
SabastianStores: The problem is that I have significant problem 'closing the deal'.
SabastianStores: But it's not like that in real life!
Variel: How do you mean?
Variel: "Closing the deal?"
SabastianStores: Well, it has progressed from a slight problem to a more disturbing problem.
Ldyhawk: I belive he is meaning moving onto havig sex
SabastianStores: You know, in bed. Yeah
Variel: Oh, I see. Go on.
SabastianStores: SabastianStores blushes.
Variel: No need to be embarrassed. Such things are more common than you might think. Anyway, how is this disturbing?
SabastianStores: Anyway, at first I would say the wrong thing and then I was having performance issues. Now it is disturbing, like I don't have the lower half of my body.
Ldyhawk: How has it became a more disturbing problem?
*Ldyhawk nods.*
Ldyhawk: I see
SabastianStores: Or she turns into a robot monster or something crazy like that.
Variel: Mmm. Yes, I can see how that might be a little alarming. And this is all in your dreams, correct?
SabastianStores: Yeah! Not when I'm awake.
Variel: How do these dreams make you feel when you wake up?
SabastianStores: Sometimes I do say the wrong thing, but that has happened since I was in high school.
Variel: Do you find these dreams affecting your waking hours? Your moods?
SabastianStores: At first embarrassed and insecure, but now I think it is something that is bothering me.
SabastianStores: I just don't know what
Variel: And how long has this thing been bothering you?
SabastianStores: Nearly a month
Variel: Sabastian, this may sound strange, but do you ever have trouble distinguishing between your dreams and your waking time?
Ldyhawk: Do the dreams seem to get more and more intense each time or do the vary?
SabastianStores: I used to before this.
SabastianStores: They seem to get more... contrasted
SabastianStores: Like everything is going well and then it hits the shits so badly.
Variel: Have you noticed any particular trigger when things start going badly?
SabastianStores: A trigger...
Variel: Like something that happens which triggers bad times.
Variel: Running into a particular person, going to a particular place, etc?
SabastianStores: Well, I don't know if it is a person, but there is someone there afterwards.
Ldyhawk: Are you atempting to do the same thing each time? That could be a trigger as well
Variel: Who's there afterwards?
SabastianStores: It could be. But usually it is the women in the dreams that come on to me.
Variel: Is it a particular woman? Or different women?
SabastianStores: I'm not sure who it is. Just a shadowy figure.
Variel: I see.
SabastianStores: All different women
Ldyhawk: So they are coming to you then, seeking you out? You never are the one seeking just being sought?
SabastianStores: No. But I am in a favorable situation each time.
SabastianStores: Like the nice car, clothes. Stuff like that
Variel: Okay, to summarize: you used to have a hard time distinguishing between your dreams and real life. But then, you began having starker dreams, that involve you in a favorable position which leads to some sort of failure in a sexual sense with a woman.
Variel: Am I right so far?
SabastianStores: Yeah
Variel: And these dreams have gotten more upsetting, as in you now are experience missing body parts, the women turn into monsters, etc?
SabastianStores: Yeah, something always goes wrong and it gets worse each time
Variel: And these are frightening to you?
SabastianStores: It is like this guys is messing things up for me.
Ldyhawk: What guy?
SabastianStores: The shadowy figure.
Variel: Tell us more about this figure. Is he in your dreams?
Ldyhawk: Has he spoken to you before?
SabastianStores: No. I just see him as I am waking up after the dreams.
SabastianStores: Never spoke tohim.
Variel: Does he frighten you?
SabastianStores: Not really, he just bothers me now.
Variel: And you see him as you're waking, btween being asleep and awake?
SabastianStores: That's a good way of describing it, yeah.
Variel: Sabastian, have you ever had the feelings of unreality? Like your life is not real?
SabastianStores: ... yeah, sometimes.
*Ldyhawk nods.*
Variel: Have you ever felt like everything you see is some kind of an illusion?
SabastianStores: yeah... sometimes
Variel: How did you find us, Sabastian? Were you looking for an explanation for these feelings?
SabastianStores: Well, I found you when I was seeking help for thedreams. I had never found an answer to the other feelings.
Variel: Would you like to find the answers for those feelings?
SabastianStores: Oh, if this is another dream... !
SabastianStores: SabastianStores gets cocky.
Variel: No, Sabastian, let's stay focused . . .
SabastianStores: Well, what have you got in mind?
Variel: . . . on your feelings of unreality.
Ldyhawk: this is not a dream Sabastian
Variel: Some people speak of The Matrix, Sabastian. Have you heard of it?
SabastianStores: The Matrix?
Variel: Yes. Have you heard of it.
SabastianStores: Yes. I searched for it once. Came close to something that might have been an answer, but my mind felt like a scrambled egg.
SabastianStores: What was that?
Variel: Not sure. Probably just trucks, they can make a terrible racket.

Variel: But I can tell you that it is all around us, everything you see, even your dreams, is the Matrix.
SabastianStores: Uhm.
Variel: The Matrix is designed to keep you complacent. However, some people reject it because they don't believe it. I think you might be one of those people, Sabastian.
