Jamey moved towards her and Tina scooted back to avoid contact. She looked scared of him. Obi jumped off the bed and, when she called him over, she fingered the ribbon on his collar.

“Tell me about the dream.” He wanted to hear her version. Her eyes were wild, her breathing erratic. “You okay?” He wasn’t sure. He sat on the side of the bed.

“Yeah, I just dreamed that I woke up, and we were having this conversation, but Obi wasn’t here and you weren’t like this...you were strange. But this seems like reality now.” She held the ribbon on Obi’s collar.

Tina methodically recounted the diving dream to Jamey, as if he’d had no knowledge of it. Good. They’d been underwater. Hank led them to a cave. Jamey surfaced while she followed Hank. Once inside the cave, she couldn’t find Hank or see anything. No matter how far she swam, in any direction, she touched nothing. That was when she woke up. Or thought she did. “I was drenched in salt water. You were here. Obi was gone. You went into the hall to see if there was water on the floor. I got into a robe. We sat on the bed together. Then, I guess, I really did wake up. Obi was at the end of the bed.”

That would account for the extra seconds Tina stayed in the dream. Jamey turned on the closet light and looked inside, not sure what he’d find.

She pinched her arm so hard it would definitely leave a bruise. “This is reality, Tina. I assure you.”

She didn’t seem convinced, and her haunted eyes frightened him. She scooted back in the bed, against the wall, hugging her knees. He was unsure which door to open in his explanation of what had just happened. “Lucid dreaming is when the dreamer recognizes they are in a dream. You are having lucid dreams, which is not unusual. As well as knowing you’re dreaming you’re also having a precognitive dream. Like when a person gets a weird feeling about boarding a plane and then it crashes. But your dreams are different.”

Tina nodded for him to continue even though the expression on her face told him to stop.

“Some theorists, Einstein included, introduced the idea that the past, present and future all exist together and that time is not linear.” Jamey shook his head. “It’s hard to conceive, but that was Einstein’s theory. Here’s what I think.” Tina’s eyes were wide.

“I think you’re getting what I call a glimpse.” He’d present this carefully. “I still think maybe Hank hasn’t crossed over completely. He’s between.” Jamey took one of her hands, feeling her tension. He had to tell her. Had to. “I’m going to share a secret with you. And it’s a strange one.”

She looked into his face, all innocence for another few seconds.

“I hope you don’t think I’m crazy.” He said this more to himself.

“I know you dreamed about the cave with Hank.” Jamey met her eyes. “I was there. I could
