This is a supernatural story. It centers around a strange dream that Kimberly clark regularly sees almost every night. Kim clark is a young beautiful lady of 25 years, works in an office in London.

Her strange dream always begins on a country road. She stands on this road and sees a lane, a white fence and a hedge on a both sides. At the end of the lane, on the top of a little hill there is a beautiful white cottage with green shutters. Kim walks up the lane to the house, enters in and looks around. In one of the rooms she sees a little old man with white hair and white beard sleeping in bed. Whenever she goes close to the man he wakes up and looks at her. When she opens her mouth to speak to the old man, she wakes up and finds herself in her own flat in London.

It is a recurring dream and the old man and the place is totally unknown to her. The dream troubles her a lot. Therefore, she shares this dream with her roommate Janet Wilson. Janet makes a plan to take Kim to her parents' farm house for a few days so that kim can forget about the dream and gets the peaceful environment. Next morning they leave the city in Janet's car. On the way Kim falls asleep. When they reach to the country road Kim wakes up and asks to stop the car saying the road is the same road that she sees on her dream. Janet tries to convince her that this is not the same road that she sees in her dream. But Kim doesn't listen.

Kim gets out of the car and finds everything exactly the same except the sign for "for sale" written in front of the house. During this time she feels nervous and knocks at the door. The same little old man, whom she regularly sees in her mysterious dream, opens the door. When he sees Kim his eyes open wide. He immediately closes the door. Kim wants to talk to him so he again opens the door. She asks about the sign 'for sale'. He replies her that the house is in sale but she surely doesn't buy the house because the house is regularly haunted by a ghost. When she wish to know who the ghost is?  The old man whispers "it's you" then closes the door. Kim is puzzled and the story ends.
