Dreams are sometimes the easy means by which we cross the threshold into other realms. The supernatural can infiltrate those dreams and speak to us, to degrees that we either understand, or don't. When we don't the message becomes difficult to receive. Sophie clearly didn't understand the dreams that haunted her for a year now. The same dream had terrified her, leaving her in a cold, dark, and wet place gasping for breath and seeing a strange light in the distance, and then the blackness closed in ...then she woke up.
