Story ideas: My client's dreams are disturbing and prophetic
Hello, unedited first draft of a story idea. trying to just post more in general and keep the creativity flowing. I thought this seemed like a fun concept and it has been sitting inside my head for a while.
Session Transcript: Patient Jorge Ocasio
Date: [September 2028]
Participants: Mariam (Doctor/Interviewer), Jorge Ocasio (Patient)
Mariam: Do you mind if I record our session? I've been wanting to go over what you've been describing to me in my own time if that's ok?
Jorge: Yeah, if anything hearing myself say these things back might make me feel not so crazy.
Mariam: Ok, lets start from the beginning then. Tell me about the dreams you've been having leading up until the last month or so.
Jorge: Sure, sure. So lately, the past year or so I want to say. I've been having these strange really vivid dreams. Like, the one that keep happening is i'll be getting up at 3am for work and I see something in the sky.
Mariam: Just for my records, what do you do for work Mr. Ocasio?
Jorge: Yeah of course. I'm a supervisor for one of the larger farms in our area, I help run the packing machines and help plan the day for all of the pickers for the fields. We grow a lot of the produce like lettuce and berries and foods like those.
Mariam: Thank you Mr. Ocasio, getting background info helps a lot when trying to dechiper dreams. Continue whenever you'd like.
Jorge: ok. So, I keep having this dream, im getting up and getting ready for work, i go through my normal routine and i end up in the kitchen. Every day before i leave for work I like to have a cup of coffee and just kinda watch the world. It's so peaceful that early in the morning you know? SO im enjoying my coffee watching out my back window.
And i see it, it looks like the sky lighting up with a sick looking green light followed by this deep orange behind it. I see the lights in the distance and it looks like its getting closer. I take a step out of the backdoor in to my backyard and there's this feeling that something is really really wrong.
I look up to see the light and the only thing i see is a slow moving light, moving from a sickly green to a deep orange back and forth, it slowing crosses the sky like a slow meteor, and i swear to you when it passed over i could feel the heat of it. I watch it slide off in to the distant horizon and it just feel wrong. I shake off the feeling and the next part i remember is im in the fields. I look around the early morning and i see im down a few people, some called out from this morning. I dont think much of it.
The day progresses and a picker comes up to me and says hey you need to see this. He rushes me to where he was picking and I see it. In between a few other heads of lettce growing out of the ground is what looks like lettuce but wrong. Its leaves were leathery, a strange green and flesh toned color and covered with a sticky orange puss like substance that stank up the whole nearby area, I bent down to pick it, and with a lot of resistance, it finally gives and comes free from the earth. I inspect it and deep in between the leaves in in the center, there was an eye. The dream always ends right here.
Mariam: Thank you Mr. Ocasio, i understand very vivid dreams like this can be very distressing, but im glad you were able to tell me and hopefully this helps you finally get some rest. I think this will conclude our session for today.
Jorge: Thank you Dr, these dreams have been such a burden on me every night. It just makes me so scared, everything is so vivid. even the day. September 8th, 2028, just a week from today.
Mariam: I'll make sure to note all that down. Thank you Mr. Ocasio.
Doctor’s Personal Notes (Post-Session)
Mariam: Its now been a few days since my last appointment with Mr Ocasio and I cant help but keep thinking about what he had told me in those recordings, I cant help but wonder if hes right, or if he really saw that head lettuce. Especially after i saw a sickly green light, pass by my window early in the morning as i went through these tapes.
