The old man seemed to find Guy's confusion entertaining, as he gave an eerie grin before he finally started talking.
"Welcome, young man, to the Velvet Room. My name is Igor... I am delighted to make your acquaintance. This place exists between dream and reality... mind and matter..."
He paused for a moment, stroking his nose tenderly, as though considering something.
"Only those who have signed a Contract can enter this place. However, current circumstances appear to have allowed for an exception in your case. Unless you are granted the opportunity of viewing the memories of another of my guests in the future, I sadly doubt we may meet again. To commemorate this rare occasion, allow me to show you the awakening of one of my most esteemed guests. I'm sure you will find the experience enlightening."
As he finished saying his piece, the lights around and outside the room dimmed to nothing. Afterwards, Guy may sense that he's not in Igor's presence any longer.

The dream is far from over, however.
