Dave has been having disturbing dreams and visions of people dying. In one dream, his shadow takes the form of a grim reaper. When a fire breaks out and Dave tries to help someone inside, they die from a heart attack just as he touches them. Dave believes he is responsible for their deaths since his dreams came true. He tries to commit suicide but is instead admitted to a mental asylum by his mother for his own safety.

ok. Camera cuts to view of Dave’s shadow as he touches

PSYCHOLOGIST
Come in. Can i help you.
DAVE
Yes I have been having visions and dreams
of people dying. I have also gone to help
people and when I touch them their heart
stops and in one of my dreams my shadow
was the Grim reaper. The people that die
I have seen in my dreams. I think that Im
the reason people are dying.
PSYCHOLOGIST
How long have you been having these
dreams and visions for.
DAVE
I only started having them last night.
PSYCHOLOGIST
How do they make you feel?
DAVE
They scare me and make me feel guilty as
I blame myself for their deaths as it has
to be my fault my dreams and visions have
come true and innocent people are dying.
PSYCHOLOGIST
Well I can give you some medication take
two before you go to sleep and see how
that helps.
