Sarah, an 18-year-old student, sees Dr. Ahmad for therapy about disturbing dreams she's been having. In her dreams, she sees a man lying on the floor and feels like she knows him, but can't identify who it is. She also sees blood on her hands and feels confused about what she may have done. During her session, Sarah becomes visibly shaken and scared while describing the dreams to Dr. Ahmad.
