action
During a visit to her psychiatrist Dr. Parsons tells Laura about a nightmare that she keeps having. She doesn't know the man who persecutes her in it. Even if he smiles at her in her dreams, she is more afraid of him than of anything else, because something is wrong with his eyes. The man, she reports, has a different face every time, as if he were using different masks, but it is his eyes that keep her recognizing him.
Dr. Parsons does not believe Laura that she only visits him in his practice to talk about her dreams. He asks her if she can be sure that she is not dreaming again right now. Then the room changes and also the eyes of Dr. Parsons. Laura tries to escape. Dr. Parsons begins to pull the skin off his face. Laura doesn't even want to look, when she opens her eyes again she is still in this changed, now completely decayed room. Suddenly, Dr. Parsons in front of her. She screams.
