I tuck my daughter's loose strands behind her head, curled into a ball she breathes lightly. The only difference between normality and tonight, she was hooked up to a machine. It provided a bluish mist, it was a calm dream. I stand up and stand in the door. One last glimpse before I turn off the lights. My wife sitting in the kitchen with paperwork before her and drinking coffee, not letting up on the caffeine.

I kiss her forehead lightly and ask how is she doing. "Tired, after you came back work seemed to get harder with all the claims against defective dreams."

"We knew that would happen," I respond while sitting down on the nearest stool. After I left the nightmare business and received amnesty for the alleged crimes, the minions started waking up, but only after their stores of nightmares were used up. No one could track who was inject, and Bob Charlie was missing.

Weber, Miles, Richard, and Ryan were all in trial for multiple charges. As of Dream Catcher, it was known not as a terrorist organization for nightmares, but as a subset of the government after they ruled banning nightmares unconstitutional. As for me, I quit my job as a government agent and started advocating the safety of dreaming.

My wife and I discussed the events and I learned that the entire village was fabricated. How I met everyone was a lie, the traveling across the country was made up, and the communication to the government was literally, all a dream. However I did sent Bob to the hospital, I did speak to my daughter and gave her a gift and I did sign up to be injected with a nightmare.

My fainting incidents were real and caused by the nightmare injection, that is still effective.

I sip at some of her coffee, then quickly regretted it. "Goodnight," I say to my wife as I kiss her forehead. She smiles, "dream safely," a now common phrase.

Hey so I decided this would be the final chapter of the book. I know I didn't answer all of the questions you might of have/had but I will plan a sequel. But I really want to end this book because I started writing it in October of 2012, three years is a long time, and I want to focus my attention elsewhere in story writing. So technically this is my first completed novel (history in the making). I will have to edit it later. If I do carry out the plans with the sequel I will have more nightmares, and action-packed scenes for all of you, and the faiths of Dream Catcher would be revealed.

Attached is a rock song I think goes well with the story, and it is quite catchy. So thank you for reading my story, and keep dreaming. If you are reading this on an iPhone you probably have the song in your iCloud already, it is part of U2's album.
