"Oneiric Hypnotherapy: Trouble sleeping? Resolved in just one session or your money back!".
The advert seemed a little too good to be true, but you were desperate.
The office is nice and welcoming, and the therapist seems professional. He's explained that he's been doing this for over 20 years and has helped numerous clients.
"So you can fix me in one session?"
"Yes. I have a perfect record. Nobody’s ever come back for a refund."
You settle down and begin the session. He tells you to imagine a comforting place for you – a beach, a pasture, your childhood home.
You find yourself in a moonlit field. An ominous hooded figure stands near a barren tree. "When the sun goes down..." it hisses at you.
You don't remember anything else, nor the hypnotherapist bringing you out of the trance.
"Alright, that's it, then. You're cured!"
"Really? That's it?"
"Oh, I've seen this many times before. The tree, the cloaked figure. All quite normal hallucinations."
"Wait, so others have seen this too?"
"Oh yes, but don't worry. Nobody has ever come back!"
"Have you seen them afterwards? Your clients?"
"Huh, now that you mention it, I don't think I have".
