Voice of Monster: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Dianne: Why are you always chasing me!
Voice of Monster: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Dianne: Stop it, please! Go away… Noooo…. Don’t get near me!
(Dianne’s mother enters, she sits on the bed, and tries to wake her up)
Mother: Dianne! Dianne! Wake-up! It’s all a dream!
(Dianne opens her eyes. She hugs her mother)
Dianne: Oh, mother…. It’s was terrible!
Mother: Calm down.
Dianne: Why do I keep having the same dream every night? Why?
Mother: Do you want to talk about it?
Dianne: Well… there’s a terrible monster chasing me throughout a big haunted house… then he grabs me and….Oh, no, I can’t…. it’s terrible…when I try to escape, he… oh, mother, I can’t. I don’t want to remember!
(Dianne’s mother stands up and tries to leave )
Mother: I’ll bring you a hot tea… It will make you feel better.
Dianne: No! Don’t leave me alone… I don’t want to be alone.
Mother: Don’t be scared, sweety. Try to go to sleep. It’s late, and you have class tomorrow.
Dianne: Stay here with me… I’m really afraid, please… stay.
Mother: Fine. I’ll stay here by your side. Now, close your eyes, and try to sleep.
(Dianne closes her eyes. Her mother stays for a few minutes, then she leaves. Dianne moves frantically and starts to talk.)
Dianne: No… it’s you again! Get away from me…. I don’t want you!
Voice of Monster: Ha, ha, ha, ha… I can’t go away… Dianne…I’m alive because of you!
Dianne: No! Please, don’t tear me apart! … Why are you chasing me? What do you want from me?
Voice of Monster: How should I know? It’s your dream… Dianne!
Dianne: What?
Voice of Monster: That’s right… just tell me what’s next… what else should I do… in your dream?
Dianne: What’s next? Mmmmm… Do you know what?
Voice of Monster: What?
Dianne: I love you.
Voice of Monster: Do you think I’m a fool!
Dianne: Oh, no…honestly… I love you!
Voice of Monster: You love me…. Do you really love me?
Dianne: Yes, I do.
Voice of Monster: I feel strange… I’m not supposed to be here… I have to go… this is not me!
Dianne: Are you leaving, then?
Voice of Monster: Yes… I’m in the wrong place.
Dianne: You mean… you’re in the wrong dream… right?
Voice of Monster: Right. Good-bye, Dianne.
Dianne: I’ll miss you… bye. (She opens her eyes. She stands up.). Oh, my! I thought he would never go away… love is a powerful word.. yes, indeed!
