[WP] We finally have the technology to record and watch our dreams. However, we never expected the ramifications of watching our own nightmares.

*I'm walking on Times square with my half filled starbucks cup. It's the perfect day to be honest. I'm smiling holding some papers on my other hand. I don't know why I'm even walking here but I'm happy.

Everyone seems to be having a great day. All wearing black coats and shoes. I keep walking when like a toaster beep a thought hits me 'Why are they all wearing the same wardrobe.'

Suddenly they all stopped & turned their heads from their respective positions and started looking at me. It was look of mild anger mixed with violent intentions.

"But why they are looking at me like that I don't even know any of them" I thought as I checked my head to see that have I mistakenly wore my Boston Red Sox cap here. Thankfully I didn't, its was my silver fedora just like everyday.

But the question remain unanswered. I was about to speak up when they all pulled up identical glocks from thin air. I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn't even realize that it has started raining five minutes ago.

They all pointed the gun at me and without any warning they shoot. I could clearly see a large number bullets coming at me in slow motion. And as the first one strike the pain sent me.....*

"No!!! Help... No....Oh.. woah.... what the hell was that..." I woke up in my room gasping for air.

It's been three years since I last saw that dream and its video on my mac. Since then I fear going to crowded places, I lose consciousness in meetings and everyone seems suspicious.

"How can I erase this throughout from my memory?" I asked Mr.Brad the fifth psychiatrist I have visited this month.

"You can't. But you can choose to dream other things and entertain other thoughts"

"No doc..." I put my hands on head "I can't......you listening... this is the only thought I have, only dream I see every night since three freaking years.. you hear me..." I calm myself.

"Please doctor do something please I'm begging."

"Ok If for your desperate then there is one way...but...it's risky...it can cau.."

I cut him off.

"Ah..Just give anything... I'm willing to take any risk"

"Ok then" He pulls out a card from the table and pushes it towards me.

"Go this place. They might be able to help you."

I hold the card up. It was black with letters engraved in it. It stated.
