- Dreams.
Our government calls them useless distractions,
nonsense stopping us from achieving our full potential.
It's why the treatment was put into effect
to inoculate a soul from these pointless aversions.
Well, here at Sandman Corp we have a slightly
different take on dreams.
In our view, they're neither useless nor distracting.
They're the portraits of our soul,
the worlds inside our minds.
So, if you're looking for an escape,
for a chance to be, do or have something
you've always wanted, call us.
Because here at Sandman Corp, dreams really do come true.

- Alex, I thought you weren't coming today.
- I know.
I know, I'm sorry.
I'm late.
I was gonna get us some popsicles to share.
They kind of melted on the way over here.
- [Izumi] Thank you, that's so sweet.
- Well, they say it's the thought that counts, right?
(Alex chuckles)
What's that?
- What?
Hey!
You didn't give me a chance to get ready.
- You don't need to get ready, you look great.
- You think so?
(camera clicks)
- Would I lie to someone I love?
- You love me?
- Of course I do.
- Well, that's a shame.
I don't even like you.
- What?
You don't- - Oh yes, I loathe you.
- You loathe?
- Loathe you.
- I heard love. (Izumi laughs)
You can't take it back now.
And you're a bad liar anyway.
Yeah, I called you a liar.
What you gonna do about it?
- You called me a liar.
- Love. - Loathe.
- Love, love. - (laughs) Loathe you.

- In our view, they're neither useless nor distracting.
They're the portraits of our soul,
the worlds inside our minds.
- They're useless for sure.
- So, if you're looking for an escape,
for a chance to be, do or have something
you've always wanted, call us. (light dramatic music)

- [Man] This is a message from the Metropolitan Bureau
on compliance and security.
Reminding all citizens that there is an 11 p.m.
curfew effective this evening.
(light dramatic music continues)
(traffic humming)
- Mrs. Ishimoto?
Welcome to Sandman Corp.
(electrical humming)
So, what can we do for you Mrs. Ishimoto?
Mrs. Ishimoto?
- I...
(woman speaking foreign language)
- Mr. Morales?
Welcome to Sandman Corp.
What can we do for you today?
- I would like a dream of my old sweetheart, Izumi.
- [Man] All right, and what do you want to happen in it?
- We used to meet at this square.
I'd like to meet her there one last time.
- All right, should be easy enough.
She's beautiful, by the way.
- [Alex] Thank you.
I know.
- She must have meant a lot to you
for you to want this after all these years.
- Yes.
She did.
- That's all I want.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Don't you dare judge me.
(woman chuckles)
Why are you laughing?
- Nothing.
Nothing, it's just that that has to be
the sweetest and most innocent thing
anyone has ever requested of me.
And not at all something to be ashamed of.
- Really?
- Absolutely.
Mrs. Ishimoto, in my 10 years at this company
I've been given orders to create some of
the sickest, saddest and in some cases strangest
things imaginable for people.
Your dream doesn't even come close to the worst I've seen.
- Okay.
Well...
Is there anything painful about this procedure?
- Nothing at all.
You will just be taking a nap with music in the background.
If you're ready, we can begin.
(light dramatic music)
(light jazz music) (mechanical humming)
(light music) (birds chirping)
Don't move too quickly.
Most patients tend to feel vertigo.
(light music continues)
Where did you get that?
- What?
