Dreaming.

I'm always dreaming.

Dreaming.

Love will be mine.

Searching, I'm always searching.

Open,

Someone, someone who loves me.

Someone who needs me.

But until then, we'll all keep on dreaming.

Keep right on dreaming.

Hello? Hi, Mae Robert?

Yeah. I'm Anna.

Anna.

Lord have mercy. Come on in. Come on in, baby.

You look just like me.

I'm so happy to finally meet my grandbaby.

I'm sorry it's under these sad circumstances.

My condolences, by the way. You know I never met your daddy. But knowing your

mama, I bet she picked a good one.

Come on now, let me show you around.

Now, this here is the kitchen.

Now, I make a real good deer jerky. And don't be shy. It's here all the time.

Now, I get a few local channels, but if you want, you can move these

antennas around to get more channels.

This picture of you, is that you at your prom?

I don't even remember what's on that wall, but if it's the one I'm thinking

yeah, that's me. But it was homecoming.

I never made it to prom.

Come on.

Come on, let me show you to your room.

This room right here, this is my room.

There's nothing to see there.

I like my privacy. I bet you understand that.

Anyhow, you shouldn't have any trouble cleaning it up. Everything you need's in

the closet.

I'm going to go rest my feet.

Your mama must be rolling around in her grave knowing her daughter is living

with me.

Well, you say the ring.

You must be Anna.

I'm your Aunt Patty.

Oh, so nice to finally meet you.

Yeah, nice to meet you too.

I'm sorry about your parents.

Too young.

It's an old shame.

You look like your mama.

Same as.

Use, like, tea for tomato sauce and beef for beans?

Yeah, sure, I can do that. Thank you, baby lamb.

Do the woods lead to anything?

Yeah. Water, frogs, gators.

I wouldn't go out in the woods if I was you.

The sand is different. It really sticks to you. You know what I mean?

Right.

I haven't seen someone in this dock in years.

Oh, I just moved here.

You just moved here.

What's your name?

I'm Anna.

Anna.

I'm Julie. This is Sean.

Hi. Hi.

You want a beer? We got cold ones.

No, that's all right. I think I'm just going to head back inside. Come on. I

mean, like, we don't bite. Yeah.

And it's a nice day out. It's not too hot.

Yeah, it's summer.

Beer o 'clock.

Try it. All right. Yeah, why not?

Yeah, there you go.

That's so funny.

Water, you know, just so deep.

The water's fucking scary.

It's got, like, a mind of its own.

Oceans, lakes, pools.

It'll just take fucking lives.

I mean, drowning, what a fucked way to die, huh?

Hey, Julie?

Hmm? I want to tell you something.

It's so fucking deep. Yeah, still water runs deep.

But you know that, right?

Me? Right.

Where are you from again?

Oh, I'm from Brooklyn.

New York.

So I don't think she knows what you mean. Yeah, you're from the city.

Yeah. Came a long way.

Why the hell are you here?

Um, I'm living with my grandma now.

Why?

Both my parents died in a car accident.

A drunk driver hit us. I was the only one who survived.

Damn, that's fucked up.

And Sean's part of the Dead Parents Club, too.

His dad.

Sorry to hear that.

Okay.

Is your mom still around?

Nah. Never knew my mom.

Aw, look at y 'all trauma bonding.

What about you guys? You still in high school?

College? No, ma 'am.

No school for us no more.

This is my last year in high school.

Tight. You can tell Mims High School to kiss my ass.

Yeah, all right. Cheers to that. Cheers.

Bye, Anna.

Thanks, Jeff.

Sounds good.

Thanks for the beer and stuff.

Oh, sure thing.

Just a couple kids on the dock.

A couple of local river rats, huh?

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay.

I was going to grab something to eat. You want anything?

Amen.

You won't be able to read this, and why are you in this yearbook when you didn't

even finish the year?

You don't even go to this school anymore.

You did this to yourself.

Now your true colors shall hope you can see them.

Exhale your sister back.

Patty?

Oh, girl, you scared me.

Sorry. What you doing here?

I was just riding around.

Don't get a heat stroke.

No. You want some tea?

Yes, please.

Come on.

It's got a great view here.

It is my own kind of paradise.

It is. Where I find my peace.

Yeah.

May had everyone wrapped around her finger when she was a teenager.

Beautiful cheerleader.

Day noon, a talented, handsome football player.

Your grandfather.

She loved the pedestal she put herself on.

But deep down underneath, May was mean.

Wanted everything her way.

Friends and family be damned.

What happened to your eyes?

You spent most of your life in a big city.

Towns like this one.

Small town.

Whispers.

Rumors.

Stuff of legends.

Ours is Sandman.

Sandman? Sandman is what happened to your grandma.

Punishes those who do bad.

Finds a way of evening the skull.

Mae started having nightmares.

Bad nightmares.

At first she didn't tell anyone.

Then they got worse, more insidious.

It drove her mad.

One night she woke up and there he was, in her room.

The last thing she ever saw before he took her eyes.

So she said, everyone thought she had done it herself.

It was in the emergency room she found out she was pregnant.

My parents basically raised your mama.

God bless their souls But why nightmares

you can't escape if you're sleeping

You okay?

Uh, yeah, I just... Yeah, yeah. You want a beer?

John's a great driver. Right, John?

Oh, yes, ma 'am.

That's it, ladies.

Okay, let's go.

Band with the knees. Band with the knees.

Oh! Whoa!

There. Okay.

Hi, Mrs. Cross.

No, I just wanted to say hi.

What are you wearing today?

Okay. Here, give it to me.

Sorry, Mom. He's done. Bye. Goes one.

Goes two.

And it goes three.

Oh, God!

What the fuck?

Sean, what the fuck?

Hi, Sean.

What? It's so nice to see you hanging out with Julie, y 'all.

I don't know what you're doing.

You know what I hate?

These ring cameras that my parents have. They're like always stalking me and

shit. I get PTSD from my party days or something, which I get, but... Do

you have Instagram?

Yeah. What's your name?

It's still original.

Are you ready?

Yeah, but take a picture.

Sean. What?

Get in the picture.

Serious? Yes, I'm serious.

Cute.

It's Anna Reeves art.

Oh, fuck yeah. Fuck yeah.

Don't tag me in that shit. Oh, I already did.

See you, idiots.

Just fishing for lights.

Boo.

Okay.

It's plenty of space.

Yeah, that's his problem.

I don't mind him.

He's just an asshole when he drinks.

Well,

yeah, he's kind of an asshole.

But, you know, daddy -ish.

Hey, kid.

John, what are you doing? Never you mind.

Hey.

Come on, man, where are you going?

Hey.

You're looking good in those blaze, brother.

Come on, let me help you.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, you want to check your okay?

I'm only messing with you, man. Come on.

Hey.

Oh, shit.

Those are nice.

They must be expensive. You bought them, right? You didn't steal them.

No. She stole them?

No. All right. Oh,

he bought them.

Ah.

Can you go fast?

Not really. I'm sure you can. I bet you're just being humble.

Stop stomping around like that.

Let's go fast, huh? Let's try. Here.

Let's go.

Come on. Come on, man.

Come on.

No, he's fucking fine. Let's leave him. I don't think so.

Fuck.

Hey, man.

You just be quiet, and I'll come down and get you, okay?

Come help me. It's okay. I am coming down now. Go.

Shouldn't run.

All

right,

man.

So, you tripped, and you fell.

And if you say anything different than that, what happens next time won't be an

accident.

Okay, get out.

Can't you at least pull up closer?

I can't.

Julie?

You're too high for this shit.

Come on, man, move. Come on, let's go.

I was watching that.

It's past my bedtime.

Good night.

Close your eyes and

imagine the person that has passed on from an enlightened place.

Would they want you to be tormented?

Would they want you to live in peace?

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

In and out.

While you breathe, let's begin tapping.

Let's start on your forehead.

Then go to one cheek.

Thank you.

This is Patty.

Connor?

Jesus, what happened?

You try calling your grandpa?

All right.

Okay, I'm coming. I'm coming right now.

What happened?

Tell me the truth.

Who did this to you?

I did it.

I fell.

Sweetie, you're lying.

You have to start sticking up for yourself.

I don't want you to go through the same thing I went through as a kid.

Well, it doesn't matter.

I can't do anything about it anyway.

Listen here.

If you don't stand up for yourself, people will keep laying into you until

ain't nothing left.

What I'm going to tell you stays between me and you.

Promise?

There is something you can do.

But if you go through with it, you have to be prepared for what comes.

Ain't nothing sweet about revenge.

There's a tree in the woods.

Not far back from the old dock.

You'll know it when you see it.

Looks like it's been struck by lightning.

Names carved at its trunk.

Find it.

Write the names of the people that have hurt you. The people that have done you

wrong.

Carve their first and last names into the tree and the chapters will take its

course. What does that do?

What happens to them?

for him to decide.

He will choose their destiny.

Who?

Mr. Sandman?

The giver of dreams?

Or should I say, Nightman?

No,

no, no, no!

Why not me?

I knew you would come back.

I could feel you getting closer.

Redemption day.

Give me all the help that you've got to me!

Stop!

What are you doing?

Being a friend and giving you a ride. I don't need a ride!

If you want this back, get in the fucking truck.

I'm not getting in the fucking truck, Sean.

Come on, man. What's the fucking problem?

Sean, I'm not doing this right now. What do you want? You and I had a little

talk. A talk about what? Talk to me now.

Come on, man. Please. I'm not going to hurt you. It's important.

Please?

Fine. This better not be a game.

You better be taking me home.

Promise.

No, I don't fucking wanna be here. Just tell me what you wanna talk about.

You're always this fucking rude.

Sean, can you please slow down?

I wanna know if we're good.

Slow the fuck down, Sean!

You said, I wanna know if we're good.

I wanna know if our secret is safe.

Are we fucking good?

Fucking talk to me, Anna.

I said fucking talk! Yes, we're good, we're good, we're fucking good, we're

fucking good.

Hey.

Go ahead.

You crazy bitch, what the fuck are you doing?

You could've fucking killed her! You, stop!

I can't. They're 20 bucks.

Okay, can you save them behind the counter for me?

I can't do that either.

Wait.

There you go.

They're yours, dude.

Wait, it's Connor, right?

Look, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry that I didn't do anything to help

you.

I know, I know.

Kate, please forgive me.

Hmm.

Why didn't you help?

Why didn't you say something?

You just stand there.

Taking up space.

If you want to be good

I'm here.

I'm safe.

I'm grateful that I'm safe.

Didn't think you were here.

Always here.

You got mail?

Mm -hmm.

Huh. Look.

It's another person trying to buy this house.

Some cops need to leave me alone.

Yeah, it's not as if we could use the money.

Picked up your meds.

No need to thank me.

Hey.

Hey. Got you some food.

Oh, that's great. Thank you. I appreciate that. You know, Mims High is

school May and I went to.

May didn't graduate, but I did.

I hated school.

At least in the beginning.

New York City you're from. Never been.

Only seen it every night.

Anna. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I feel like I'm still asleep.

I just need to wake up.

It's one of those days, huh?

There's some instant coffee in the cabinet.

Thanks.

Best be gone.

Jesus.

Thank you.

I know you got it

Oh. Yeah.

And this is a photo of her name off the tree.

Say, Mom.

I don't know what's going on, but I think that whatever happened to her is

happening to us.

I mean, wouldn't the whole town be lying then?

I can be a piece of shit, but they're bigger pieces of shit that live here.

Have you heard of any urban legend to do with a tree or a dream monster,

anything?

No.

I don't know.

Maybe when I was like a kid or something.

Have you been having nightmares?

Yeah. Remember like the scariest dreams ever.

Was there a boy?

Yeah. His eyes were gone.

Maybe time.

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Vincent.

He was blind with two glass eyes.

One day after school, Vincent was forced by two classmates into the woods.

This was the way he died.

The boys stole Vincent's glass eyes and put them in their slingshot, using

Vincent's head as a bullseye.

Perhaps Vincent's death was an accident.

Maybe the bully didn't know he would die.

But there are no excuses for bullies.

They hurt a lot of lives.

Time passed with Vincent's body molded into the sand.

The roots of the tree made Vincent's soul feel alive.

And that made him see.

Vincent is dead.

But Sandman is very much alive.

Maybe there's something supernatural as fuck going on, Sean.

You're not having, like, the scariest dreams ever?

We're being punished for what we did to Connor. We didn't do anything to Connor,

you remember?

Sean, you're so fucking stubborn!

Julie?

Oh, shit. How did I get here?

I think you were sleepwalking.

It's okay.

I do not want to be around him.

You know what?

Can I have a drink? Huh? Come here. Come here. Come here. What are you doing?

Oh, shit.

Oh, my God!

Anna! What the fuck is wrong with you? Anna, come here. Give me your hand.

Anna, come here. Come here.

Come here.

What the fuck is wrong with you? She's a fucking bitch.

Oh, my God.

Come here. Oh, fuck. It's not that bad.

Here, here, here, here.

You gonna fucking cry about it, Julie?

Stay the fuck there.

Stop, stop, stop. No, stop me, John. I want to see this fucking jury and I want

to prove to you all it's fake. Okay, stop.

Fucking go.

What are you doing?

I don't know.

No peeking.

Sean, let me fucking see. Come on, move. Let me see.

You're a fucking psycho.

How dare you bring my mom into this? Now, Cindy can drink.

Don't touch me. Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Dad,

look.

Oh my God, thank God. Fuck that.

He doesn't go after everyone.

Come on, Anna, let's go.

You wanna fucking leave on me? Yeah.

You, Julie?

She better than me now?

Fuck you, Julie.

Alright, you know what?

Fuck you, man.

Watch out!

If I do.

Thank you.

Bitch, your backyard carries fuck.

Oh, I know.

You sure your grandma's cold with me sleeping over?

Yeah. Don't worry, she doesn't even know that you're here.

Tight.

I don't want to be alone tonight.

Me either.

Connor did this.

I know he did.

Maybe he can reverse it.

No, there's no time for that.

We have to go straight to the source.

Maybe we can, like... Like, what's that called when people know they're

dreaming?

What, like lucid dreaming? Yeah.

Let's try that shit.

Oh, okay.

So it says, repeat a mantra over and over before going to bed.

Remember, you're dreaming.

Okay. Let's try it.

Okay, let's just... Remember, we're dreaming. Yeah, okay.

Let's see.

Remember... Remember you're dreaming Remember you're dreaming Remember

you're dreaming Remember you're dreaming

Time.

There's still time.

I'm just boiling some eggs.

Hey, just boiling some eggs. And I made some

coffee with cream and sugar.

Enjoy.

Look how green the fish are.

I can't believe it.

Vincent? Hello, Vincent.

You ain't been around in years.

I thought you was gone.

I thought somebody cut you down, found your skeleton, and buried

you. You know, I started thinking you forgot about me.

I'm glad you didn't.

You came back to me.

And I'm happy.

Fifty years ago, I received my punishment.

And now it's my redemption time.

I'm going to step out of this prison of darkness.

I'm going to open my eyes and I'm going

to finally see the sun.

Vincent.

If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done, it shall be done to him.

Fracture for fracture.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.

Whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.

I have to make things right.

Okay, baby lamb.

What are you doing?

Oh, Anna, you should have seen me back then.

I was the prettiest girl in school.

I had everything.

And you had the prettiest eyes.

And he took everything away.

What did he say? All those years ago, I was...

So here we go.

And I'm your grandmama. I wouldn't hurt you.

This is all a part of his plan.

He's not here for you.

You're losing your mind.

This is the opposite of what he wants. What are you talking about, girl? My

was carved into that tree.

Okay, I'm getting the nightmares. Me, Mr. Sandman is here for me. No, no, no,

you're trying to trick me.

I've been waiting on him for a sign.

You my son.

my soul to keep if i die before i wake i pray lord

my soul to take

Hello Hello

Oh, my God.

Mae?

Pretty wouldn't hurt a fly, Patty.

I put that scar on your face because you ain't no

better than me.

Look at all the pain you caused.

I know it was you.

No! May!

May!

Jealous bitch!
