dream sequence

There is a white house on a hill, crooked and decaying. It is evil. A dead man guards the house. As I enter I see Davey taking care of sick people, all laying on cots, their faces covered in warts and scabs. They all look to my brother as their savior but I can see that he is not helping them. Instead, he has cast an illusion so that they all believe they need him, that he is making them better. He tells me I will be happy here. I resist. I have moments of clarity where I can really see everything for what it is. I see pure souls and healthy bodies, trapped in the illusion of disease and suffering. I tell myself this can not be real. It must be a dream. I have to get out. And so I scream. But my voice is gone and nothing escapes. So I try harder. Again my scream is silent and I can't break through. I try one more time and my scream transports me into another reality - which I mistake to be this reality and not the dreamworld. Davey is standing over me and I am lying down. I yell "Awaken me! Awaken me!" My eyes are closed but I can see what is happening. Davey tells the others that I am awake but I just don't know it. He says he will check my pulse but instead he places his two thumbs on my third eye and says I am awake. Again I scream "Awaken me!" He says "You are awake. You are awake." They think I am pretending to be asleep. I get up hoping to convince them that I am still asleep. "I need you to wake me up." Then I wake up.
