They always said that V.R. can harm people.  
Sometimes it can become stronger than marijuana and  
LSD.  
        Police and even Intelligence Services have  
unsolved cases involving children who escaped from  
home into V.R. and never came back. Not only  
children, in fact…  
        There are also cases that a computer is not  
necessary to access. One of these cases was  
registered into The Archives as 'The Dream Maker's  
File'.  
        It contains material proofs that The Dream  
Maker really exists upon this planet and keeps  
influencing people from miles away, from an  
unknown territory. Parallel worlds have to be  
taken into account here.  
        Someone like this may live in a normal  
town, in a normal country, functioning within a normal  
family and social-economical background. For example 
… Hong Kong. Let's suppose that this someone may be  
not a local but an Englishman, for example, living in  
Hong Kong for business purposes. Beyond that, he  
works in a very abstract field, such as accountancy,  
who may have the slightest idea that he is, in fact… 
The Dream Maker? 
        How does he operate? He simply lives but sends  
his experience as dreams into other people's minds,  
like signals, each containing little packets of  
information about what he does, what he is doing,  
and what he is going to do. Is he aware of 
this? He may say that he doubts it but people who know  
him must be really shocked by his level of intuition.  
How can someone be so intuitive if he does not have 
some special abilities related to the 'psychic' fields?  
        He may also have his own dreams and wishes  
and sometimes they turn against him. This kind of  
'feed-back' is stronger if the fulfilment of his  
dreams is delayed. In fact they are not delayed  
but, because of his native dysfunction, his dreams  
come literally “to life” in other locations.  
        In fact, all his life must be a mess. How  
can someone live like this? Maybe to interfere in 
other people's lives and create the same disasters  
there… 
        Let's take the case of a very sensitive  
person also living in a normal country, a normal  
town, family and so on… for example, Romania.  
And let's take the most dangerous scenario, perhaps 
this person is someone of the opposite sex!  
        She represents a typical example of a victim.  
It is enough for The Dream Maker to focus on a certain  
wish, a sexual one, for instance…
        Of course, the victim is not aware that she  
is under attack by The Dream Maker, from the very  
beginning. In fact, this series of regular attacks  
starts in her early childhood. She finds herself  
waking up in the morning with a profound sense  
of sadness, feeling like she is missing someone, she  
doesn't know who. This makes her start arguing with  
the people around her, from the age of 3, upon childish  
matters. Later on she starts doing this on  
political ones because she becomes obsessed with 
changing her country into a better place. (In fact  
she's right.) Afterwards she rejects all profitable  
offers for building a future, for the sake of an ideal love.  
And later on, she starts writing poems dedicated to a men 
she must have met in a previous life, 1000 years ago.  
        What does The Dream Maker do all this time?  
        He is building his social and financial future,  
according to his background, upbringing, education and  
status.  
        Meanwhile, the victim is often attacked  
during the night-time. She dreams of love  
affairs, stories of strange couples who seem to get  
involved, get married and have children, only to her  
own disadvantage. People do not even notice her. Just  
to be contrary, she decides to become an actress.  
        Oh, how everybody will notice her when she  
appears on the screen!  
        The old sexual wish of The Dream Maker  
feeds back to him. His future has grown into  
something quite great but he starts feeling that 
he is not so important. He focuses his dreams of 
movie people, living their mysterious stories, in  
mysterious places. He is fascinated by the stars'  
platinum blond hair and leaves London for a better  
paid future, in an exotic world bank...  
        Not too content in her acting career, the  
victim bleaches her natural hair, thinking that  
blondes have more fun. The Dream Maker starts  
visiting her during the night-time, more and more  
often. The victim starts to confuse other men  
with him, during the day. It is her turn to create  
a mess in other people's lives. She gets used to  
the idea that a divorce is something that must  
follow a wedding quite soon and tries it twice.  
        The Hong Kong bankers have no reason to  
blame their accountant for a double identity. Yet  
his wife suspects him of a double life.  
        The victim starts fighting a dark haired  
woman in her dreams, every night. The woman is  
wearing her clothes and stealing both her man and  
her future. Again just to be contrary, she concludes  
her poetry series with lyrics such as these: 'I met  
my love again in the end and we'll be together for ever!'…  
        Paradoxically, at the same time, she is also  
concluding her second divorce.  
        The Dream Maker keeps maintaining his role in 
society with great skill and is highly appreciated  
by his business partners. His wife calls him on  
phone every night, insisting that he performs his family  
duties and comes home. The Dream Maker decides  
it is not time for that yet. So, instead of  
taking the plane back to London, he keeps making  
trips to the scene of his crime.  
        Taking into account the mean-time zone  
difference, the victim starts dreaming about him  
during the day. It happens to her when she's  
driving her car, when she's at an audition for  
a part and even when she has to say 'yes' to  
another man who proposes. The victim  
starts crying, apparently for no reason and  
people believe that she is becoming mad. She starts  
fighting with the image of someone wearing a gold ring  
on his small finger. She is exhausted and obsessively  
asks: "what do you want from me?... Why don't you  
let me settle down again?...' She starts believing  
that every man wearing a gold ring on his small  
finger might harm her. So she gets into fights  
with many of the important men that she knows. They  
begin threatening her with her moral destruction.  
        The Dream Maker gets bored of all the public places  
in Hong Kong and takes the decision to try something new.  
Yet he is not bored of the exotic world he inhabits so he  
takes advantage of his business mobility and goes to Japan.  
His wife starts to threaten him with divorce.  
        The victim has no other remaining way of earning her  
living and has to go abroad. She's broke and has no time to  
wait for something better. She has to decide quickly and take  
the first offer that comes and thus, she flies to Japan.  
        Please, don't ask me ag… Oh, thanks for your  
understanding! 
        The Dream Maker is bored of the social obligations  
that he has to perform as a cover and the victim is  
bored of her job. It's Sunday night and The Dream  
Maker decides to go out. So does the victim.  
        At this point of the case that fatalistic natural  
factor interferes that prevents every possible crime  
occurring.  
        So, the criminal and his victim choose the  
same place to have fun. Only their modalities differ:  
The Dream Maker prefers Heineken beer, the victim  
prefers disco dancing. She commits illogical acts, 
drinks tequila mixed with B52's, dances the Macarena  
with a group of lesbians and starts bothering every man  
around with a silly question:  
        'Sorry, but have you ever been to Romania?'  
        Turning and turning around to the beat, the  
victim notices the criminal standing at the end of  
the bar. Fortunately, the fatalistic natural  
factor means that The Dream Maker does not notice her 
or her dancing. Otherwise, he would probably run away  
and hide himself in Manila.  
        The feeling of knowing his face from  
somewhere becomes an obsession for the victim. She  
starts losing the rhythm. She psychically  
tortures herself with hesitation for two hours.  
Yet, in the end, the fatalistic natural factor  
interferes again and she approaches him and asks him  
directly: 'Sorry, but have you ever been to Romania?'  
        The Dream Maker panics. He recognises the  
creation of his own dreams and thinks that she has been  
sent to him as some form of divine punishment. So he 
asks her: 'Who are you, a Romanian spy?'  
        Yet the same fatalistic natural factor makes  
the criminal fall into his own trap. He shouldn't have  
imagined his creation so often wearing a tight,  
short dress with shoulder straps. He must get rid of  
traces of his guilt, immediately!  
        He starts to envelope the victim, working with all 
his seductive skills. The victim is hypnotised and  
feels like she is in 7th heaven. Suddenly she changes  
her ring with the gold one upon The Dream Maker's  
small finger, acting without fear. This is what The  
Dream Maker has waited for, a signal to commence his 
attack.  
        He asks: 'If I were to ask you to come to my  
hotel, what would you say?'  
        She says 'no', because, like any other educated  
human being, she is used to pretence in such matters.  
The Dream Maker is aware that pushing things too hard  
is unwise. Besides, early in the morning he has to catch a  
flight back to Hong Kong. He changes the rings back, writes  
down his telephone number on a tissue paper and says:  
        'I'll be back in a couple of weeks. Call me,  
I'll do the rest...'  
        The victims thinks that the rest means  
visiting Disneyland, Chinatown and other similar  
traditional Japanese places that she has not had  
the chance to see. So she calls him.  
        But they do not go to these marvellous  
places. The taxi drivers in Tokyo don't understand  
English and the criminal takes advantage of this.  
So that the only place they can visit together is a  
wonderful Japanese garden that destiny arranges to  
be the very garden of the hotel that he is staying  
in. She has the feeling that she has seen this garden,  
before. That is why, when he invites her to visit  
the lobby, the shops, the restaurants inside them,  
the elevator, the bar on the top floor, and so on,  
she doesn't say 'no' any more.  
        The victim is, finally, in the criminal's  
hotel-room. A signal of alarm starts to disturb  
her interior peace. She is still asking herself 
'what am I doing here?' when she discovers  
that The Dream Maker is a great lover... and keeps  
discovering that fact for a couple of nights.  
        The Dream Maker knows that the texture and 
traces of his guilt are growing, yet he becomes  
curious to know his creation even better.  
        He invites her to a restaurant and asks  
her about her family, her career and hobbies.  
The victim finds nothing else better to do  
than speak about her poetry and even recites a  
fragment for him: 'Now I know that between you and  
me lies a distance of 1000 years. You just don't  
say anything, just let the people think that I'm  
not aware of this, that I'm acting… for money.'  
        The Dream Maker is absolutely astonished.  
Does she know something or not? He wants to be  
sure. In fact, he's falling into his own trap more  
and more. He takes the victim back to his hotel  
and continues being a great lover.  
        Suddenly the victim finds out that reality  
is the same as the vision she had had at the end of  
her poetry series. She feels like she wants to be  
an actress no more. Paradoxically, a strong voice  
inside her keeps repeating: 'This is the movie you  
must be in!... This is the movie you must be  
in!... '  
        Dream, reality, art, meet and connect for the  
rest of the night. The criminal reaches the conclusion  
that the victim has been sent to him as an angel, for  
his salvation. He feels guilt no more for his crimes.  
The victim is not sure yet if she has been sent by  
someone or sent only herself. Now she is aware of  
her position as a victim but wishes that this state  
of affairs could last for ever.  
        Fortunately for criminal justice, but  
unfortunately for them, The Dreams Maker's family  
makes plans to visit him in Hong Kong very soon.  
At the same time, the victim's visa for Japan  
expires. They both take planes in different  
directions.  
        The victim is back home now, with a very  
bad cold. Although she's been so close to The  
Dream Maker, she still can't remember his face.  
The criminal doesn't keep his promise and doesn't  
call her at all. He is too busy with family  
matters to bother her in her dreams again.  
That's why, for a while, she dreams nothing. She's  
not used to that. So in desperation, she turns to her  
past and to her poems. She keeps passing through them  
in her mind for a while. Until one day, she has a  
revelation and remembers the criminal's face!  
        He has been the one passing by so indifferently,  
in her dreams, all her life! He has been the one with  
the ring in her visions! He has been the one in her poems,  
the one she’s kept missing for 1000 years! She is so 
revolted that she keeps remembering even more. 1000 years 
ago, he left her to fight with barbarians and was unbearably 
late. She kept waiting for him on a shore, until she caught 
a very bad cold and died!  
        That was an unbearable mistake to make because he  
turned back later and found no one to marry him for  
the rest of his life. We refer to that life.  
        She starts to cry, with huge sobs, thinking of her  
great and ancient mistake, all the while completely  
forgetting about his. She keeps asking herself: 'Now that  
I have found him what shall I do? Go on with him or  
continue this life? But this is not a life!'  
        The Dream Maker's family leaves Hong Kong.  
So he finds time to continue his trips to his  
victim, through her dreams and her visions,  
by night and by day. The victim is so happy to  
see him again that she forgets completely that she  
is still unemployed. She asks him what to do to  
repair the past. He says that the telephone has  
been invented in the last thousand years and   
is a quite good means to repair a mistake. Only  
he can't use his because it is barred from making  
international calls. If she can get an e-mail  
connection there could be hope for the future.  
She follows his advice. She doesn't want to be  
killed by a cold again.  
        That is why all her acquaintances from  
Romania have never seen her again. They still  
think that she is in Japan, making money and are  
envious because of it. In fact the victim is lost  
in V.R. She realises that writing is her greatest 
vocation, staying at home and writing daily,  
never ending love letters. The more answers that 
she gets, the more her cold disappears.  
        The Dream Maker delays a solution for his  
private life. He is very touched by the never  
ending love letters. He is building new  
unbelievable dreams and yet, he is still thinking: 
'Oh, no, she is just a heart-breaker… this is too  
good to be true!…'  
         
 
Anyhow, this still remains only a supposition  
about who The Dream Maker may be and what he can  
do.
