I have nightmares almost every time it rains.

It's like a curse.

These dreams are special.

So real I can still smell death after awakening.

It's said that such dreams can foretell a storm.

But I thank heaven that I can always wake up.

Yes... Who is this?

- My phone is broken. - So?

- Can I use your phone? - Lfit's a local call!

Make the call, but hurry!

Could you send a repairman today? My address? Write this down...

- Who are you? - The phone repairman. Didn't you call?

- Where's the phone? - Over there.

I see. Let's have a look at this piece of crap...

- Would you like a drink? - I don't drink.

- Of coffee? - Maybe.

Just die.

- Were you reading this? - No, just spilled coffee on it.

I see... I thought you were studying death.

Tell me, do you often have... nightmares?

I don't have nightmares. Just dreams...

I live in a nightmare, if you're curious. It's everywhere, and it's hard not to notice.

A dream is a reality rejected by our minds. A kingdom of dreams, of shadows, who cares...

But it's always raining there, just like it is now.

Do you, for instance, see anything special in dreams when it's raining?

Dead people. It's always nothing but dead people.

That's right. And it's not just you, by the way...

If you die in your sleep when it's raining during the day...

...you'll stay with them forever.

Did you know that vampires really exist?

Is that some kind of allegory?

My salary is an allegory...

I work near the automatic commutator, where all the phone lines of the city meet.

I often hear their high-pitched, piercing voices in the dead wires...

They speak... of many different things.

Anyone could hear them if they wanted to...

I don't really know what to call them but the word "Vampire" fits perfectly.

I guess it's impossible to make up a better description.

They fear nothing but publicity. I know what they talk about.

You can try to hear their voices too. Just pick up the receiver and listen.

It's just like the sound of the ocean in a seashell...

Sometimes during a storm the wind will cause shorts in the wires and then...

Be careful, if you hear too much. Otherwise you'll meet them face to face.

You can see them in the twilight or at night or on a gloomy rainy day...

But if something unexpected happens wait untill it stops raining. The rain is their time.

- What can happen? - How would I know?

You can't mention them out loud, and shouldn't even think of them.

Whatever happens, don't ever mention them out loud...

And if you ever notice their presence, don't let anyone in!

Hide the mirrors, cover the windows and wait. They won't come in if you won't let them in.

Sooner or later it will stop raining. And whatever happens, don't fall asleep!

- What did you just tell me? - Nothing you couldn't guess yourself.

Give someone a call if you want to.

It'll work as good as a chronometer if you don't mess it up again.

Thank you very much. I'll call you again if anything happens.

A strange man, a strange tale...

Is my dream continuing?

The world of dreams and shadows... huh...

Mutilate him! Spill the blood. Hurry up... he can't...

Unfortunately, seeing this portrait brings me emotions, but not memories...

I remember when she quoted someone I never heard of...

She said: "I love you, Loika Zabar but I love my freedom more than you."

This portrait... I can't get it out of my mind. It's not merely difficult, it's impossible.

The word "Nightmare" describes a demon, known as a "Mara"...

...who's said to cause bad dreams and the worst of all nightmares...

The attacking demon is frequently referred to as "incubus" or "succubus".

Nightmare: A nightmare usually takes over people who sleep lying on their back...

...and often starts with scary dreams soon accompanied by problems with breathing...

...a feeling of pressure in the chest and general loss of the ability to move...

During this agony people breathe heavily, moan, utter strange sounds...

...and rest in the claws of death until the very moment when, due to supernatural attempts...

...or through interference from outside, they are saved from this horrible sleep.

As soon as they manage to shake off this clumsy depression...

...they begin to suffer from a heavy heartbeat, a sense of uneasiness...

...weakness, and a general restraint of their motor functions.

These symptoms gradually disappear and are eventually replaced with...

...a pleasant feeling that these people have just escaped from certain danger.

All those who have written on this subject agree on the three signs of nightmares:

1) An incredibly strong sense of fear, named in medical compositions "Angst"...

...used by Freud in 1895 to describe a neurosis caused by the oppression of sexual desires...

...which is usually accompanied by a voluptuous sensation.

2) The feeling of heavy weight pressing on the chest, obstructing breathing.

3) The feeling of total helplessness when facing these terrors.

Servantes wrote:

"I glorify sleep, this biggest treasure, this change...

...that equalizes fools and wise men, beggars and the wealthy...

The only bad thing about it...

...is that it feels pretty much like death."

When the clock struck 12 on this ordinary day, I discovered someone was watching my flat...

To be perfectly honest it made me very worried.

- Yes? - Finally! I called earlier to tell you...

...l'd be held up at work. But you didn't answer the phone.

I did, but the phone was screwed up. It's just been fixed.

I guess you're having fun there...

What? Ah... yes. It's a bit noisy today.

Look, I've got a problem...

I'm serious! I'm being spied on! Do you know anything about vampires?

Vampires?

Is that all?

Look through my books in the drawer. It's with the books on pathologic anatomy.

I want you to come here right now! Can you hear me? I'm waiting!

There's a man dressed in black in front of my house. Be caref...

Motherfuckers...

- I'm listening... - Excuse me, I'm with the gas company...

A big leak has been detected inside your apartament...

Please open all the doors and windows to ventilate your flat.

- But I don't smell any gas. - Do it as soon as possible!

Quit bugging me. I said there's no gas!

- I'm listening. - I'd like to report an attempted murder!

- Are you listening to me? - Of course we are! So sorry we didn't kill you!

The only being that can see and kill invisible vampires is a vampire's son, a "Dhampir".

The Russian vampire known as "Veshiy", or 'The Foreteller', gnaws his own limbs in his grave.

The German vampire "Neuntoeter", or 'Slayer ofNine', can spread the plague.

And the "Nachzehrer" can always be found by the sound that he makes tearing his shroud.

Why are you here? You promised...

Excuse me, I gotta' go...

You have nothing to do!

Oh no... you're coming with me. C'mon!

I paid to get love, but received an ugly fake...

I've always wanted to pay for this fake respectfully...

...and this club provided this kind of service...

Ordering it, I'd always thought of women who'd throw my deepest feelings under their heels.

This way we had a fair dialogue as equals. I pay my money. I have my fun!

I feel uneasy. I wanna' relax.

- What's your pleasure? - What do you have?

LSD... STP... DMT...

...mescaline... psylocibine... heroin...

...cannabis... cocaine.

- What's it cost? - Three hundred.

I had a repulsive dream tonight. A nightmare...

What was it about?

It was about death...

...about madness...

...and anxiety.

A bad dream?

I wanted to get there my entire conscious life but I didn't know how...

...and then a friend of mine explained to me how I could get "there".

But he added: "It's a one way ticket.

It's hard to get back when you start to confuse here and there.

You come to the conclusion that both realities are equally deceptive."

This shit was initially created in 1938 as a headache medicine by some swiss pharmacy...

...but it's hallucinogenic effect wasn't discovered until 1943...

It's funny that during the same year the nuclear bomb research started.

Some people wanted to change the world while others tried to change it's image simultaneously.

The aim was worth the means as none of these people were satisfied with this world.

The storm won't stop until tomorrow, but at night the rain looks like magic.

It lets you see eveything in a totally different light than during the day.

Moisture in the air, like an overturned ocean, turns the city into phosphorus, burning gold...

Didn't you see it too? Don't tell me you're blind.

Every city has its own dark secrets.

At night they take off their masks and stalk the city as millions of ghosts.

The rain gives them flesh... but only for the night.

A million dark secrets...

I never thought that I'd try to break into someone's window on a stormy night.

I wonder how many curses one can remember while slipping off a balcony and falling down?

Excuse me... I'm in trouble.

Can you hear me?

- Could you stand up? - Come closer...

Closer... closer...

To be perfectly honest... I'm dissatisfied, too.

Open the door!

Open the door!

I see you've had a hard day.

How did you get in here? It's raining outside!

Why would the rain keep me out?

Besides, it's already stopped.

Did you take something? Come on, fess up!

I'm so very tired... Just give me half an hour and I'll tell you...

...tell you everything.

It's so stuffy in your flat... you've been smoking too.

You won't believe this. It's started raining again!

Shut the door... you bitch!

To those who are so sure they know everything about reality.

When one day you don't wake up...

...are you sure there will only be the darkness of a grave?

If not... then don't tell me I didn't warn you...
