As Adam approaches the meeting place, he spots Madison standing under a streetlight. He walks over to her, and they look at each other with a mixture of fear and relief. Before they can say anything, a black van screeches to a stop in front of them. A group of people wearing dark clothing jumps out and starts advancing towards them. Adam and Madison try to run, but it's too late. They're surrounded. So, as Adam and Madison are surrounded by the mysterious group, the van's back doors slide open. Out of the van steps a tall, dark figure. The figure walks towards them, and in a deep, gravelly voice, says, "You should not have come here." A chill runs down Adam's spine.The figure continues speaking, in that same chilling voice: "You have something that belongs to us, and we want it back. If you cooperate, there will be no trouble. But if you don't, there will be consequences." Adam and Madison look at each other, their eyes wide with fear. What could this person possibly want from them?
“Wow," Adam says. "We had no idea they were part of a drama club. They were so convincing, we thought it was real!" Madison adds, "I guess it just goes to show that things aren't always what they seem. It's easy to jump to conclusions, but sometimes it's better to wait for more information." The officer agrees, "It's an important lesson to learn. I'm glad we were able to clear things up for you. And we'll be sure to let the drama club know that their rehearsal caused a bit of a scare." Adam and Madison thank the officer for their help.In the weeks and months that follow, Adam and Madison try to take the lessons from this experience to heart. They remind themselves not to make snap judgments, and to give people the benefit of the doubt. They also try to find the humor in the situation.

Something about Theodore’s story doesn't add up. Why would a private investigator be so concerned about the safety of a complete stranger? And why is he telling him all this in a dark alleyway, rather than in a more public place? Suddenly, a thought occurs to him. Could Theodore be the one who's putting him in danger? Is he trying to lure him into a trap? As these thoughts race through his mind, he wonders what to do next. "Sebastian says, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'danger'. Can you tell me more about what you've been investigating?" Theodore nods, as if expecting this question. "Of course, but let's move to a more comfortable place first. Can we go to a coffee shop and talk there?" He's offered to take Sebastian to a coffee shop to tell him more about his investigation, but he’s still feeling skeptical. Sebastian trying to decide what to do when suddenly, a police car pulls up next to him. A police officer rolls down the window and asks, "Is everything okay here?"
"It can be a great way to explore your subconscious mind and get in touch with your deepest thoughts and desires," the officer says. "You might even start to notice that certain things trigger certain dreams. For example, if you read a scary book before bedtime, you might have a nightmare. Or if you eat spicy food, you might have vivid, colorful dreams. Have you noticed anything like that?" he asks. "Sebastian" thinks back on his recent dreams, and realizes that there is a pattern."Now that you mention it, I do seem to dream more vividly after I eat sweets before bedtime," "Sebastian" says. "I didn't realize that there might be a connection. Does that mean I should avoid eating sweets before bedtime?" The officer shakes his head. "Not necessarily. You don't have to change your habits unless you want to. But it's useful to be aware of the patterns. And if you do want to start lucid dreaming, a dream journal can be a great first step," he says. "What comes next?" "Sebastian" asks.The
