The Dreaming Ward

January 1932

A few months have passed since the events at the Corbitt House.Things are going well for Karabekian and Marc, not so well for Larry, who's business is suffering along with most of the country. Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year passed by with hope to an end of the Depression. President Hoover's popularity is fairly low and with an election ahead late in the year, many hope for change.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

With the bookshop doing well and with the prospect of regaining good standing with the university library, things seem to be looking up for Karabekian. And yet, a shadow seems to follow him and he iften finds himself looking nervously over his shoulder. He has trouble sleeping at night. He spends more and more time shut in with his books.

The progress he has made with the Book of Dreams has Karabekian hungry to learn more. He takes every opportunity to visit the library in search of texts on the occult. It's sometimes difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff as it were, but Karabekian seeks true sources of knowledge among the ocean of dabblers and dilletantes.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

Karabekian looks the paper over. Here was a way to regain his good standing with the University, possibly deal with the nightmares, and earn a few dollars on the side. There didn't seem to be a downside. "Bring three friends." Who might he take with him? Karabekian considers his neighbor, Lou, a former security guard who recently got laid off. Getz, perhaps. And Marc. Karabekian nods his assent.

Another possibility that springs to mind is a Mr. Wilson. A local editor with an interest in the occult. He is a regular in Karabekian's shop and the two have discussed dreams at length on a few occasions.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

What follows is a letter sealed with wax and delivered to the domicile of one Luis Joaquin Karabekian:

"On the matter of reviewing a particular piece of literature,

My distinguished colleague, I hope my letter finds you in good health, as there is something on which I would greatly desire further correspondence. I prefer this medium to the telegram for matters of secrecy. I trust you would rather not have revealed the contents of our discussion, pertaining to a certain book you were searching for, some weeks ago. Was it months at this point? I do remember you had a desire to read certain passages in it, and had inquired upon my professional expertise regarding more accessible manuscripts. I had not heard much of the matter at the time, and my schedule was woefully occupied, but I write now to inform you that I believe I can be of more assistance, on this and related conversation topics. It is my understanding that your interests would be best served by a personal meeting. Perhaps somewhere more private than the shop.

Hoping the best for your future endeavors,
James C. Wilson
Charlie"

I was very pleased to receive your correspondence today, and am looking forward resuming our collaborations. Apropos, I have just been presented an opportunity which could prove quite enlightening, and wish to extend to you an an invitation to join me. I shall withold the details until our private meeting (soon, I hope!) but will mention in advance that it will involve a trip of sorts that could potentially take three days. I understand you might have prior commitments and so will not begrudge it if you are indisposed. But I am getting ahead of myself! I look forward to our next meeting at your earliest convenience. Send word, and I will be there.

At your service, as always,

After the usual pleasantries Karabekian asks the staff for a cup of hot water and produces his own loose-leaf tea which he steeps for an inordinately long time before partaking.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

Charlie gives a dismissive wave,

"Why the hurry, Harry? I haven't even placed my order."

He got a coffee and an egg salad sandwich, and proceeded to take his sweet time enjoying both, all the while chattering away with small-talk to no one in particular. Karabekian was there, but had no indicator Charlie would have fallen silent without company present. When the sandwich was crumbs and the coffee was a brown stain at the bottom of the cup, only then did he set into the real reason both of them had come.

"I'm sure the trip was well worth your time, but word has it you've got new things on the horizon. I think my assistance would be good for more than idle conversation on this particular outing. Am I wrong?"

Re: The Dreaming Ward

Karbekian is a man who values his privacy. Here is a possible breach of said privacy which Wilson is dismissing with a flippant reply. The man has a way about him that Karabekian has always found somewhat off-putting, but has tolerated given the man's stimulating intellect. Karabekian purses his lips, unwilling to let the matter drop but not wishing to sour their relations. He decides it can wait. He shows Wilson the newspaper cutting.

"You, me, and two other associates of mine. If you say yes, and I hope that you do, I shall contact Doctor Thorne and make the arrangements."

Re: The Dreaming Ward

And so, with Wilson recruited, Karabekian enlists the help of Larry and Marc. Having put their individual affairs in order for the next few days, the four men drive the few hours to the University at Albany, State University of New York. Being January, it is bitterly cold outside and a layer of snow covers the ground.

The university hospital is on the outskirts of town, close to the university campuses. The building is a manor house, a large set of iron gates opening through an eight-foot high wall surrounding the grounds. The drive is long and wide, passing through a large garden decorated with immaculate topiary of geometric shapes. The front entrance leads to the reception and you see a rear entrance signposted for ambulances.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

The lobby retains some of its opulent past but is now a working reception. The receptionist shows you through the East Wing. A barred, prison-style door leads to a helical staircase that accesses all three floors of the ward, overlooked by a glass done. Wire mesh fencing lines the open centre space of the staircase.

The ward's reception desk is located at the base of the staircase and you are greeted by two administration clerks who check you in and call for Dr Thorne. After a few minutes he arrives along with a young nurse he introduces as Nurse Amy Levine.

https://i.imgur.com/XvuXQsg.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/uuq4AO9.jpg

He begins by asking you each to sign a confidentiality agreement. He explains that the therapy and study involve group sessions wherein patients' dreams are discussed. He points out that group therapy is effective and emphasizes that a problem shared is a problem halved. The agreement binds you to confidentiality, making you open to prosecution if you divulge information about another patient's therapy to a third party.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

Dr Thorne has graying, well-kept hair, with an aging face. Warm eyes behind a pair of round spectacles.
Dressed in a smart, tweed suit with pocket-watch chain across the front of his waistcoat. The faint odor of tobacco smoke surrounds him, and a pipe is tucked into his top pocket.

With all the documents signed, Dr. Thorne outlines the study to you.

Day One
• Day: You will undergo normal patient check-in, involving leaving all personal items at the reception. Clothes will be provided. After
this, a tour of the ward is given and everyone allocated his rooms

• Night: You will be monitored as you sleep

Day Two

• Day: patients gather for a group session to describe their experiences of the previous night. The rest of the day is yours.

• Night: You will be given drugs to take you to the edge of consciousness and then hypnotized to allow Dr. Torne to manipulate your dreams. This procedure should allow you to confront the source of what troubles you.

Day Three

• Day: a possible side eﬀect of the drugs is tiredness; thus, the following morning patients get to sleep in for longer than usual. Later, patients are interviewed to record their response to the therapy session.

• Night: patients are monitored again.

Day Four:

• Day: You are to be interviewed to assess how you slept. Following this, patients are released from the program and your possessions returned, along with a payment of $15.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

Nurse Amy Levine is stern but polite, a short lady with tied-back red hair. She takes you to the changing rooms where you are instructed to change into sets of plain hospital gowns. Your clothing and possessions are put into storage.

You assemble back at the reception while Nurse Levine outlines the rules all must follow on the ward.

• Instructions from all doctors, nurses, and attendants are to be obeyed without question. Failure to comply may result in the intervention of an attendant to force compliance.

• Antagonizing patients will not be tolerated. Those breaking this rule will be isolated for the duration of their stay.

• No contact with the outside world is allowed until the program had ended and the patient has left the hospital. Therapy is being conducted in a carefully controlled environment; external stimuli can disrupt this and aﬀect the study’s results.

• Failure to comply with these rules forfeits all payment for the study.

• Second ﬂoor: patient quarters and communal area.
• Third ﬂoor: examination rooms, Dr. Thorne’s office, Miss Louisa Baker’s office (Dr. Torne’s secretary), and treatment rooms.

As you are shown around you see various staff on the ward, attendants, nurses and a couple of admin staff. Walking around, you notice that the corridors are somewhat dusty and the odd cobweb dangles from the ceiling.

You don't have a great deal of time to speak to the other patients at these stage beyond introductions though Larry does learn from Bernard that he has been here for five days. Karabekian learns that Barry has a love of Gothic horror stories. JCharlie learns that Emma has been here about a week.

After small talk, you are ushered to your rooms, which resemble prison cells with sturdy metal doors. You are informed that the doors are usually open and never locked, as the patients are not considered to pose any signifcant risk or danger to staﬀ. Once settled, you are free do as you wish, explore the grounds and the communal area is open should you wish to talk further with other patients.

Charlie gets a good feel for the layout. He notices patterns like a couple of orderlies go round changing sheets in rooms, generally cleaning up, two stand around the stair entrances and the other two supervise where required in the rec room. The atmosphere is actually calm, not what you'd expect from a facility such as this, but maybe it's just the surroundings that make it feel like and asylum.

Larry finds the furniture to be solid, as you'd expect from such a facility. He could probably use a pool cue from the rec room at a pinch.

All of you pass the time exploring the grounds and avoiding the rec room. No-one sees anything out of the ordinary.

Soon enough you are called for dinner, a mediocre stew, before retiring to bed.

"The attendants will look in on you every 30-60 minutes to record your behaviour, otherwise you will be left alone for the night."

Each door is left open a fraction, allowing in some light from the corridor. All patients are in bed by 10pm with Dr. Thorne and Nurse Levine doing their rounds.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

Karabekian once read a story where the protagonist, after waking from a horrid nightmare, goes about his day, only to awake in his bed again and realize he's still been dreaming. Shaking off the disorientation, the man takes the train to work, only to awake yet again...and again and again, ad infinitum. Karabekian wonders if he has become this man as he bolts from his bed once more and heads in the direction of the woman's screams.

You make your way to the washrooms before breakfast and can't help but notice that more cobwebs have appeared overnight. Little spiders sit in the webs and seem to watch as you pass by and larger spiders scuttle along the skirting boards.

Larry , who enters the washroom first, sees a dozen large spiders scurry and escape down the central grate in the middle of the tiled floor.

"She came in a couple of days after I arrived and seems to have become a favourite of Dr Thorne. She's been having recurring dreams and before coming her family reported seeing her walk up and down stairs while sleepwalking. It seems she does the same here, trying to reach a memory of her late brother. Seems obsessed with her dreams."

Re: The Dreaming Ward

At the end of the day, the other patients are sent to bed at 10pm and you are invited to attend a therapy session. You are each injected with a cocktail of drugs then Dr Thorne proceeds to hypnotise each of you. You drift towards sleep but remain conscious; it gets harder to focus as your perceptions become distorted. Colours are vivid one moment and subtle the next.

A few moments later, Doctor Thorne asks you to open your eyes. You are alone, standing in Dr Thorne's office, but you see yourself and the others sitting, eyes still closed, in Thorne's office. It feels like you are floating inches off the ground.

As the horror of this huge spider shakes you to the core, the image shimmers and you find yourselves back in Thorne's office. As your eyes scan the room, you realise you're awake when a scream, the voice of Thorne himself, brings your attention to behind his desk. The man lies on the ground, atop him the same giant spider you witnessed in Celia's room.

Karabekian leads the way out of the office, only to stop short at the threshold. The corridor ahead that you came down to enter here, now resembles an abandoned castle, the corridor running as far as the eye can see. Body parts are scattered along the floor and sticky looking webs cover the ceiling.

Glancing out one of the windows, the scene outside has also changed, now a forest of oak trees, covered in green fungus, receding into the distance where it is swallowed by darkness.

An ominous sound of a clock chiming comes from above.

Larry turns to go through the door into the corridor but finds it gone. Karabekian pulls Emma to stand beside Larry, Marc and Celia. All around is the huge cavern and behind, another group of huge spiders. Slowly they separate and one huge spider, some twenty feet tall, slowly appears out of the shadow, thick black hairs on its legs. Emma lets out a piercing scream.

Re: The Dreaming Ward

The wide-stone steps lead down 70 steps and at the bottom is a cavern and torches mount the walls the point the way to an opening that leads into darkness. Grabbing a couple of torches to light the way, you enter the tunnel that takes you the edge of dark chasm. High above, massive threads dangle down into the chasm. The far side is approximately 20 feet away and dotted with cave openings.

Dodging past the descending spiders, and into a cave mouth, the screams of Celia ringing then suddenly silenced.

Larry runs what seems like hours, the cavern ending in a small tunnel mouth and a catacomb of tunnels, lined with skulls embedded in the walls. The winding tunnels eventually end in a staircase and heading up to find a stone slab that he slides aside and comes out into a graveyard late at night.
