00:02:15Could or would should once I dazzle them with my skills
00:02:18Hello, of course one moment while I connect to your call. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Your buttons are off
00:02:25Look, I know tumping isn't ideal, but it gives me time to write and helps me pay my bills
00:02:30And once I sell my book, I will be paying for your half of the expenses. Mm-hmm
00:02:35Hey, uh, do we know a Michael Michael who I don't know?

00:03:35Asked how you were. I thought you two could go for drinks. I am NOT going on a blind date
00:03:40It's not a date. Nor is it blind just old friends catching up. We exchanged two words and they made an impression. I
00:03:49Just think you should put yourself out there
00:03:52What was the last time you went out with someone interesting?
00:03:55Well, I I'll let him know you'll meet him it says
00:03:59Okay, maybe he goes to my gym who Michael or maybe he works at the bank

00:09:57especially if you know where to put your money, so
00:10:00Yeah, that's me. What do you do?
00:10:05Grace
00:10:07Sorry, what I was just asking what you do for a living. Oh, I work for a temp agency

00:10:26Have I read any of your work? Well, I'm not published yet
00:10:32But I have an agent kind of he's a friend of my grandmother he's been taking my book around and
00:10:39We've been getting some good response
00:10:42What's your fallback?
00:10:45My fallback if it doesn't work out I
00:10:49Try not to think like that it's just it's just not a very practical career
00:10:55but but hey you
00:10:59Seem to have a plan
00:11:01Maybe you'll you'll beat the odds. Yeah
00:11:05Yeah
00:11:08I
00:11:12Mean to ballroom dancing
00:11:37You
00:12:04So I said to him you can't move all of your money into
00:12:07crypto
00:12:09It's important to diversify your portfolio
00:12:12Of course, you have to do the cost-benefit analysis of high-risk versus low low-risk being CDs
00:12:20Or hey, if you're willing to go high-risk you can go stocks options futures
00:12:27I feel annuities get a bad rap. Yeah, but actually you're really really
00:12:35Hi, hi
00:12:37He seems nice that's cuz you're out of your shot
00:12:45You look so beautiful
00:12:48Thank you
00:12:50But I have to say I don't remember wearing this on my date
00:12:54Really?
00:12:56Yeah, I guess my subconscious had notes
00:13:02Wait, I wore this to my spring formal
00:13:07In high school, I can't believe it still fits
00:13:11Well, you put me to shame
00:13:13You look very handsome
00:13:16Thanks. I
00:13:18Gotta tell you though. I am starving everything on this menu was in French
00:13:22So I ordered a salad, but you know what this dream really needs what a cheeseburger
00:13:26With onions and extra pickles. Oh, that sounds so good. I would love a cheeseburger. I give you my pickles. Hey
00:13:35Thanks again for the safe
00:13:38Anytime I don't think I could have survived an encore of that date
00:13:43You want to dance? I
00:13:46Don't think it's that kind of restaurant
00:13:54Didn't see that before guess your subconscious had notes
00:14:07I
00:14:37Do you work at a bank?
00:14:46No, I'm just trying to figure out where I know you from you really don't know do you
00:14:55Know
00:14:57But I must know you from somewhere. Otherwise, otherwise where else would dreams come from? That's what I said
00:15:08You
00:15:32Well, whatever the reason
00:15:35I'm glad I'm here with you if we never met our paths never crossed
00:15:44Part of me would always be looking for you. I wish this were real
00:15:48But I'm gonna wake up and you're gonna be gone
00:15:51So come find me I can't I don't even know your last name
00:15:59What I can't hear you Michael
00:16:04Michael

00:16:59it
00:17:01How's the date last name?

00:17:08Could I have a slice of pizza?
00:17:10Are you gonna see him again? All he did was talk about his investment portfolio
00:17:14Oh, no a man with a retirement plan how awful I just I didn't feel a spark
00:17:20You're too picky. Well, what's wrong with having standards when they're impossible to meet?
00:17:27He was there again last night
00:17:30Who Michael that's eight dreams in a row
00:17:33They're just dreams grace and they started the most amazing guy I've ever met. It's like I
00:17:39Can't explain it. We have this connection and then
00:17:42yeah, look at me and
00:17:45What does it say about me that my dreams are my best part of my day that you need to get out more I
00:17:52just
00:17:53Never met anyone like him before, you know, he's
00:17:56Smart and funny and he loves old sci-fi novels and flea markets and he's just like me
00:18:03Please tell me this isn't the reason you're not seeing John again a man who's actually real Michael might be real
00:18:08He told me his last name. Oh, yeah. What was it Michael Roy? Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome him to the stage
00:18:18Thanks so much everyone it's so nice to be back in Grand Rapids

00:19:27You
00:19:30Harvey I need to talk to you. I'm on break. I can't wait. I'm Nora
00:19:35Hi Mart, I would like to remind you that we are currently short-staffed at the resource desk and cannot accommodate
00:19:43your multiple requests a day
00:19:48Sorry, right won't happen
00:19:51I
00:19:55Think wait, please it's important if this is about adding accounts
00:19:58I told you 10 is the limit until after your first review from the dream council. I made a really big mistake
00:20:05How big you should probably put down that donut
00:20:08I
00:20:16Grace Tom Benedict. Do you have a minute? Uh, yeah, of course
00:20:22So the publishers they got back to us about your book
00:20:26They're passing
00:20:29All of them they all said the same thing well-written but feels small small
00:20:37Lacked a wow factor played it too safe. I
00:20:41Look Tom. I worked really hard on this book. I mean, can't we bring it somewhere else?
00:20:47Let me ask you a question, what did you do last week? I it worked I had dinner with my sister I
00:20:54Watched a documentary about sharks
00:20:58You got to get out travel get into a little trouble
00:21:02I feel like you have a lot of potential. You just you need to find a story worth telling
00:21:32You
00:21:47Is my life small
00:21:50Who said that?
00:21:52You know that lit agent that Nana introduced me to
00:21:55He said that all the publishers he submitted my book to passed
00:21:59I'm sorry, Grace. I'm the mechanic called me today. My car is not gonna be ready till Monday
00:22:04You might give me a ride to work tomorrow. Sure
00:22:08How much is that gonna be I don't know more than I have
00:22:14Do you think maybe it's time to look for something a little bit more permanent
00:22:23With a steady income
00:22:24Becky all I've ever wanted to be is a writer. I promised I'd give myself three years to make a go of it
00:22:31It's been four
00:22:36Hey, I think you're an amazing writer
00:22:40But what you're doing now, it's not sustainable and I think you know that
00:22:50Page 130
00:22:55Deciphering dreams I had time to kill before my deposition and he made it to page 130 200 to 3
00:23:07According to Freud dreams are wish fulfillment your greatest desires realized
00:23:16You're dissatisfied with your life so you created the ultimate fantasy
00:23:19Oh
00:23:24You're you're right
00:23:26What am I doing? I'm hung up on some figment of my imagination
00:23:31Hey, it's it's just a rut grace, but the answer isn't to escape into some dream world
00:23:37It's to go out and have real and meaningful adventures of your own
00:23:44You can't go through life with your head in the clouds
00:23:46You gotta come join the rest of us down here sometime
00:24:17You
00:24:23Hello grace
00:24:26My name is Harvey and this is Allura
00:24:30Hi, we'd like a moment of your time do I know you
00:24:35Do you go to my gym? I assure you I do not we are from the land of dreams
00:24:40Oh, isn't that that ice cream place in Glen Park, it is a plane of existence above the one, you know
00:24:50Okay
00:24:52You know, I'm actually expecting someone so I'll have to catch you another time but it was nice to meet you
00:24:56You won't find him
00:24:58Michael
00:25:01He's not here, how do you know about Michael I know many things grace
00:25:06Who are you perhaps it's better if we show them
00:25:11Welcome to dream central where the world's dreams are made
00:25:16so
00:25:18My dreams come from you. Allura is your case manager. I thought I was responsible for my dreams
00:25:23You are all the dream associates. Do is set the scene
00:25:27They populate the dreams with familiar sights and sounds we set the pieces on the board you play the game
00:25:34You know that dream last week with a hot-air balloon I loved it that was an all-timer. Thanks. I
00:25:39Double majored over confidence and giving me an ulcer
00:25:43Which brings us to why we're here right this way
00:25:52There has been a mix-up I'm afraid
00:25:55mix-up
00:25:57Allura put one of her other assignments into your hands
00:26:01One of her other assignments into your dreams. It could have happened to anyone and yet it didn't
00:26:09Michael Roy, he's a musician out of Portland, Maine, Oregon
00:26:14He's from Oregon regardless. He could be in Maine. He could be in Portland where he cannot be as your subconscious wait, so
00:26:23Michael is real that's irrelevant. You're not supposed to know him. I think it's a little late for that not entirely
00:26:31While this mistake is rather unprecedented there is a remedy what's that we help you forget
00:26:51So
00:26:52You're just gonna take my memories of Michael. You have to agree to it. I do she does
00:26:58As I told you there is a protocol to all of this rules
00:27:03What if I don't want to forget?
00:27:05It's really simple. It's not painful and Michael will be gone, but I like Michael if he's real
00:27:10I want to meet him. You can't meet him. I am hoping
00:27:13when you hear what we have to say and
00:27:16Understand the gravity of this situation you will accept the term
00:27:20We are talking about a disruption to the universal order the very fabric of existence
00:27:25He asked me to come find him he wasn't aware of the consequences, I'm sorry it was my mistake, but you have to say yes
00:27:35Wake up
00:27:37If I'm gonna give you a ride to work we need to leave soon, oh
00:27:41Because your car is in the shop
00:27:44Right. Are you okay?
00:27:48Yeah, I think so
00:27:56So then they took me to like this office in the sky, I mean I assume it was this guy
00:28:01They didn't specify but then they said that because I've been dreaming about this guy. I've doomed the universe
00:28:06How I don't know I woke up
00:28:14What you ever doing last night leftover pizza
00:28:16I can't eat anything spicy past 6 p.m. If I do bad dreams like clockwork. Hmm. I
00:28:23Mean I guess it did have pepperoni on it. I need more torque
00:28:53I
00:28:58Eddie see you tomorrow tomorrow
00:29:02Today's your last day
00:29:04What I know?
00:29:06Wait, no, no, that can't be possible. I was told there's another three weeks
00:29:10I'm sorry, we're all done
00:29:13Okay. Well, thanks
00:29:16I
00:29:21Took the assignment because it was a guaranteed month. Do you have another placement? I'll take anything
00:29:30No, I understand if something comes up hello
00:29:37Pick up the grace
00:29:39Yeah, hop in. Oh
00:29:42Can I change my destination? Sure
00:29:45Where you looking go
00:29:54Like I'd always known, you know surprise
00:29:58Feel it in my bones and I realized time to wake up from my fantasy
00:30:05Can I take you with me?
00:30:14I
00:30:21Oh, hi, it's me grace
00:30:28Grace grace
00:30:30From the last two weeks from well, you know

00:31:09All good here. Hey, oh
00:31:16I
00:31:18Know that look

00:31:28That's okay. Um, what are your specials? Come on, don't be shy
00:31:34I've heard it all before
00:31:39I've dreamt about the same guy for the last ten nights and it turns out that he was put into my subconscious because of some
00:31:43Sort of cosmic clerical error and I came to Grand Rapids to see him for the dream
00:31:47Police could erase him from my memory and it turns out he has no idea who I am. So
00:31:51Yeah
00:31:54Yeah, we have tuna melt and meatloaf I'll just take a cheeseburger onions extra pickles
00:32:09I
00:32:13Go hey Liz menu. Yeah. Thanks
00:32:25Hey, hi, excuse me
00:32:29We meet again
00:32:31Sorry, I I don't want to interrupt your book. I
00:32:34I
00:32:36I'm glad you did if you haven't ordered yet. I recommend getting the cheeseburger. Hmm
00:32:44You know
00:32:45She could hear you better if you're sitting at the same table
00:33:04You
00:33:14Stay close. It's easy to get lost if you've never been down here
00:33:31And you shouldn't touch anything
00:33:35I
00:33:45Carrying this monitor down six flights of stairs and I finally get to the bottom and security stops me
00:33:50They think I'm robbing the place it heals. I know apparently they've had some kind of theft issue
00:33:55So I say to the guy don't you think if I were robbing the place I would have chosen something more discreet and then he
00:34:00Tells me to empty my pockets
00:34:02Walked right into that one
00:34:04Yeah
00:34:07How long you've been temping for a
00:34:10Few years. It's all right. Not the most reliable
00:34:14kind of
00:34:15In between gigs right now
00:34:18What do you really want to do I want to be a writer I can see that
00:34:24Really? Yeah, you're a great storyteller. Thanks. So I I gotta ask
00:34:31What was that back there at the bar? Um
00:34:33a
00:34:36Mistake I I
00:34:38Thought you were someone I knew
00:34:41This might sound crazy
00:34:43But I really thought I knew you from somewhere too. It doesn't sound strange at all. And here we go. Thanks
00:34:53Have you two had a chance to check out the taste of summer what's that? It's a pop-up street fair
00:34:59You know you should do as soon as you're done here you just walk on over there it's just a few blocks from here
00:35:04Do they have churros? Well, it wouldn't be a street fair without them would it?
00:35:08enjoy
00:35:10What do you say? Sure, great
00:35:15Okay pickles, sorry, I I don't know why I just assumed you just want that
00:35:24Well you
00:35:26Assumed right
00:35:38Hello hi
00:35:40We're looking for grace. She's not in
00:35:44How do you know grace we go way back? She'd definitely be happy to see us and not at all alarmed
00:35:50Okay
00:35:53Do you know where we could find her it's really important I don't but I can tell her you drop by mister
00:36:00We'll try again later, but
00:36:02Have a nice night
00:36:04Yeah, you too
00:36:15Grace your friends are so weird. Why are we leaving?
00:36:19One thing you must understand about people is that they are naturally suspicious. Do we not look trustworthy?
00:36:25We're both wearing company-issued blazers. You have a pocket square. Yes. Well that aside she wasn't going to help us
00:36:34It's really bad
00:36:37My performance review is on Friday if the dream castle finds out about this I
00:36:42Can't go back to cataloging. We have a few days. Let's not panic
00:36:47Hey, you just need to find grace and make her see how important this is
00:36:51Before I'm cast out of dream central and lose the only job I've ever wanted
00:36:56That wasn't panic
00:36:58Hmm. Where do we look next if I had to guess she's gone to find Michael
00:37:03We told her not to another thing you must understand about people is that they are stubborn
00:37:09What happens if she finds him before we find her then you are free to panic?
00:37:17You
00:37:30So
00:37:31What's your book about?
00:37:33It's fiction based on a summer. I spent a sleepaway camp when I was 12 sort of a coming-of-age romance. Oh
00:37:40Well, the romance part is fictional
00:37:42So no first kiss by the lake no, though I did get poison ivy at that like
00:37:51People would tell these stories at campfires that we did and one night
00:37:55I finally worked up the confidence to try and made one of my counselors laugh so hard he fell off his chair
00:37:59It was the best feeling in the world
00:38:06I'm not superstitious. I swear. Hey, maybe a little
00:38:13Uh, my lucky penny
00:38:19Have you seen her
00:38:21maybe
00:38:22Who wants to know?
00:38:24I'm her uncle. I thought we were supposed to meet I can't seem to locate her
00:38:29Well, maybe you should give her a call. She's not answering her phone. What is this? That's apple pie. You want a slice?
00:38:36I've never had it. You've never had apple pie
00:38:39Never had pie
00:38:40She's not from around here now about grace. Oh, yeah, they went to the street fair
00:38:45They is she left with that musician has been playing across the street. He's been in here every day this week. His name's Michael

01:02:34No, Becky thinks so. Well, she's just trying to protect you

01:02:43grace
01:02:45What is it that you want to do? I want to write
01:02:55The publisher said that
01:02:57my world is small and
01:03:00You know what?
01:03:02Maybe they're right. You know, what do I really have to say?
01:03:06Well sounds to me that you have had quite an adventure over the last two days
01:03:12Well, I have sort of started working on a new story, but it's rough, you know
01:03:18I'm not really sure if it's anything yet grab your stuff. There is only one way to find out
01:03:26Come with me, okay
01:03:28I will make us some lunch and when you have something to share

01:03:59We'll start you off in bookkeeping until you get caught up in operations I
01:04:04Can't tell you how glad I am to have you home Mike. Yeah
01:04:07It's good steady work and you'll have lots of time for your hobby it's not a hobby dad
01:04:14look I
01:04:16Know this isn't how you pictured your life, but you could build a career here ten years. You're running the place
01:04:26It's a smart play
01:04:37I
01:04:49Need to talk to you
01:04:50I'm not gonna forget him and you can't make me I know
01:04:54I'm here to help you Harvey will be right behind me. We need to go before he gets here
01:04:58I'm supposed to meet Michael if we stay it won't matter
01:05:01You
01:05:05Please
01:05:16Where are we going? I haven't really thought that far ahead. Well, then why are we doing this? I thought you wanted me to forget
01:05:28You know, you were my first ever dream really
01:05:32They gave you ten assignments when you start. I was really nervous
01:05:36but then I started watching your memories and
01:05:40Felt like I knew you
01:05:43And then inspiration just hit me I found this old memory of your driver's test wait the driver's test dream that was you
01:05:50Yeah, I loved that dream. That was a great dream
01:05:53I wrote 13 pages of a story after that dream see that's what every dream weaver hopes for that their work helps the dreamer
01:06:01Figure something out make a breakthrough
01:06:04We build a dream you live it if we build a great dream
01:06:09You make a real difference in your life
01:06:14Being down here it just made me realize how little I really know
01:06:18But the world people like what does it feel like to swim in the ocean fall in love?
01:06:23How often are you supposed to exfoliate twice a week? I think see I
01:06:29Never would have guessed
01:06:33Everything I know about this world. I know through other people's memories your memories
01:06:41But since I've been down here, I felt rain and the breeze on my face. I pet a cat
01:06:49It's pretty awesome, right?
01:06:51Best
01:06:52look
01:06:53Laura, I think you are doing an amazing job. I mean all of my dreams lately have been
01:07:01Incredible
01:07:02Really? You're not just saying that. Oh, yeah
01:07:05I mean the dream the other night when I was wearing the spring formal dress great Paul. I love that dress me, too
01:07:14Laura
01:07:17I'm really grateful for you
01:07:19And I am so so glad that you are my dream weaver
01:07:49You
01:08:09They said this was lemon meringue
01:08:12You really don't have pie in dreamland
01:08:15No
01:08:16We do have some things from down here
01:08:19But it's a whole process you got to submit a request to the council. It's a lot of paperwork
01:08:25Well, if things can change in dreamland, maybe you can change the rule about meeting someone in a dream
01:08:31maybe
01:08:33Seems like a bigger s than pie
01:08:36Yeah
01:08:39I'm sorry, Grace. I never meant for any of this to happen. You don't need to apologize. Of course I do
01:08:46This is all my fault
01:08:48No
01:08:49These have been the best two days of my life. I mean it
01:08:53I've been sort of lost
01:08:56sleepwalking through my days and
01:08:59This sort of forced me to take some real chances
