Detailed Synopsis
Walter Craig is driving his car in the country when he arrives at a country estate owned by Eliot Foley. He meets Eliot who introduces himself and tells him that they need to build two more bedrooms and then they go inside the house. As Walter and Eliot walk through the house and talk, Walter starts to have deja vu. Eliot introduces Walter to the other guests including Mrs. Foley, Joan Cortland, Dr. Van Straaten, Hugh Grainger, and Sally O'Hara. As Walter sits down, he at first thinks he is dreaming. He walks up to Dr. Van Straaten and knows he is a psychiatrist, and says he has seen him in his dreams. Dr. Van Straaten thinks Walter must have seen him in the newspapers. Walter continues that everyone in the room has been in his dreams. They think maybe they also saw them in newspapers or around town, but he says that in his dream, they are all together in the same room they are in. He says there is a sixth person that comes in his dream later who he describes. Mrs. Foley and Eliot tell him that they believe him as does everyone else except for Dr. Van Straaten. Hugh then starts his story on the supernatural.
