Casey recounts a dream in which he wakes during the night to go to the bathroom. In the dream, the bedroom window has been replaced with a floor-to-ceiling opening exposing the backyard. Outside, a silent group of blond people stands watching him.
He feels simultaneously attracted and unsettled by their intense scrutiny. The beings appear human but behave with an uncanny stillness, as though examining him for unknown purposes.
He senses they want something from him but also feels objectified, as if he were a specimen under observation. The dream’s emotional tone leaves him conflicted and disturbed.
