“It’s…always sex dreams,“ I start. My mouth is dry. I really wish I had some water. “It started with the exorcisms. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’ve had sex dreams before. They just really ramped up after the exorcism.“

He waits for me as I wet my lips.

“I know sex dreams are normal,“ I say. “And, to be clear, I’ve never had any, you know, trauma or whatever. I’ve always been lucky. Every man I’ve ever been with has been really respectful, so…I mean, I understand not every woman has that experience.“

“We’re not talking about every woman. We’re talking about you,“ he says. “So were sex dreams common for you before that?“

I shrug. It’s so hard to think about my life before this happened, before the exorcism. Still, everything feels like it was a dream, and like it happened to someone else. “I mean, I guess? Once every couple of months. Now it’s a novelty if I don’t have a sex dream.“

“And is it always with the same…like, is it always the same situation?“

“Not always the same situation, but it’s always the same man,“ I say, looking at Malon’s face. God, should I tell him this guy looks almost exactly like him? Maybe not. I don’t want to embarrass him and this is already embarrassing enough. “And most of the time, I can’t see him that well. I just get this energy from him, like I know who he is, but his face isn’t clear. It almost feels like he’s a remnant of being possessed, which makes no sense, right?“

He raises his eyebrows. “It could mean a variety of things,“ he says. “Dreams can be our way to process the things happening in our lives, so it’s hard to know exactly why you’re dreaming about this man, but I think the fact that you can’t see him might be a trauma response to your exorcism.“

“Not the possession?“ I ask.

“Probably all of it, yeah,“ he replies. “Tell me exactly when you had the first dream, and what happened when you did. And start from the beginning, okay? So everything that might have anything to do with this. Give me context.“

“Is this therapy? I thought you were doing my intake.“

“This is providing me valuable information,“ he replies, a small smile on his face. “I have to understand why you’re here, exactly. That’s part of my job.“

I sigh, sinking down in the uncomfortable seat, and hugging myself tightly. The room is surprisingly cold in a way that feels sudden and harsh–that makes it hard to think. “I remember the first dream,“ I say, closing my eyes. “That was the same week that I remember waking up tied to my bed. My hair was pretty much buzzed off and I was surrounded by these tall, scary-looking men that said they’d just freed me from being possessed. I remember thinking that they were all so good-looking and I…I don’t know. I remember thinking that it was so weird, and I would’ve happily gone with them if they’d just asked.
