ACT STRUCTURE (interwoven timelines): The 'now' thread follows counselor Ana piecing the shared dream together; the 'then' thread reveals, out of order, the night a teenager vanished from a lake town. MIDPOINT REVEAL: Ana was present that night and has buried it. ESCALATION: Each client's testimony incriminates Ana's own memory. CLIMAX: The dream's final image — a dock, a dropped phone — confirms she didn't witness the event; she caused the cover-up. ENDING: Confession reframed as the only path to peace.
