Emma's sessions with Sarah continued, and she became increasingly entangled in the young woman's dreams. She began to experience strange visions, eerie echoes of Sarah's nightmares that seemed to seep into her waking life. Emma tried to convince herself that it was just her imagination, but the feeling of being stalked grew stronger with each passing night.
One evening, as Emma was leaving her office, she noticed a strange symbol etched into the wall. It seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy, and Emma felt a shiver run down her spine. She tried to convince herself that it was just graffiti, but the symbol seemed to be watching her, its presence lingering in her mind long after she left the office.
That night, Emma fell into a deep sleep, but her rest was short-lived. She was transported to a twisted landscape, a world of dark forests and crumbling ruins. Sarah was there, her eyes black as coal, her skin deathly pale. Emma tried to reach out to her, but Sarah vanished into the shadows, leaving Emma alone and frightened.
As the dream intensified, Emma realized that she was no longer in control. She was being pulled through the landscape, forced to confront the darkest corners of her own mind. The symbol from the office wall appeared, pulsing with an otherworldly energy. Emma felt herself being drawn into its depths, and she knew that she was staring into the face of madness.
The dream ended abruptly, leaving Emma gasping for breath. She lay in bed, her heart pounding, and wondered if she had finally crossed the line into insanity. The symbol from the dream lingered in her mind, a constant reminder of the horrors that lurked in the shadows.
And then, there was the voice. A low, raspy whisper that seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at the same time. "You should not have looked," it hissed. "Now you will never be able to look away."
Emma knew that she had to get to the bottom of the mystery. She had to uncover the truth about Sarah's dreams and the symbol that haunted her. But as she lay in bed, listening to the voice whispering in her ear, she wondered if she had the courage to face what was coming.
