Javis dreamed of his neighbor killing the woman by strangulation. He awoke sweating as he heard nearby commotion. He looked out and saw police bringing out a man handcuffed. He learned that his neighbor strangled his wife to death.

Javis shivered. He was dreaming of real-life events. He couldn’t tell anyone as he knew he would not be believed. A few nights later he dreamed of stabbing his wife to death. He awoke again, sweating heavily. He looked at his hand. He was clutching a knife! He looked at the floor and saw his wife lying on the floor bloodied and dead.

He screamed. Several people rushed into his room and held him. He screamed again as he was held tightly. They dragged him to his bed, laid him down and injected him. He then calmed down and went to sleep.

The people, two men and a woman, then left and locked the room. The doctor approached them and he was told that Javis again woke up with a bad dream and he was put to sleep. The doctor nodded and left.

Javis believes he sees real events. He was one of the most difficult patients in the mental hospital.
