DREAM SEQUENCE - INT. BEACH - DAY
AMANDA, in her dream, picks up a seashell at the beach.
AMANDA
(narrating)
I had a dream. Except it wasn’t just an ordinary dream.
It’s quiet. Silent. Not exactly the dream I thought in
mind. I am at the beach. I never expected it to be the
first dream I ever dreamed to take me to the most
relaxing place.

Continuing on, she walks in delight on the crystal white sand.
AMANDA (CONT’D)
A nice sunset is taking place. The sand feels nice.
She then pauses. Thunder then rumbles.
AMANDA
(puzzled)
Okay, this is not supposed to happen. How weird.
Rain then pounds onto her. The thunder crashes. AMANDA then
screams profusely. It was a scary sight.

AMANDA
(in shock)
Huh? How is that possible?

AMANDA
(puzzled)
Okay. I don’t know who you are or what your name is, but…
JANE DOE

CUT TO:
INT. THERAPIST OFFICE - DAY
The next day, AMANDA is in the therapist’s office.
AMANDA
...and then the storm quickly raged in. It was puzzling.
It was weird. It is as if the dream was telling me
something.

JANE DOE
Interesting. A lot of times dreams can reveal some
unresolved trauma in our lives that needs to be resolved.

AMANDA
(puzzled)
What does this mean?
JANE DOE
A lot of things.
AMANDA becomes investigative, eager to listen.
JANE DOE
In your dream, a storm unexpectedly came into a
peaceful evening at the beach. You were scared, which is
understandable. When you have these storms in your life,
it is natural to think that it is against you and fear
took over. But what this really means is that there is
some repressed anger and sadness in your life that is
being released in this manner when turmoil or conflict is
in your life. What is holding you back today?

AMANDA
Well, what do you mean?
JANE DOE
(sternly)
Have you ever experienced turmoil or conflict recently?
AMANDA takes a deep breath.
AMANDA
Recently, there were events in my life that turned bad.
