"...And it all ended when I... Well, I think it was me... Turned on this malfunctioning portal thing."
"Man, that's... One helluva dream, there." Jerry seems blown away by the influx of information.
"No kidding..."
"...Y'know... You said other people had the same exact dream, but from their view, din'tcha?"
"Yeah, that's right..."
"Well, what you described sounds kinda reasonable when ya consider we've got flippin' portals to other universes. That was in yer dream, right?"
"Jerry, where are you going with this?"
"Well, what if... I'unno, I'm jus' speculatin' 'ere, but... What if it wasn't a dream?"
"I... What?"
"Think about it. If you and those other guys had the same dream, maybe ya actually met 'em. I mean, I can't explain it, but it seems like it's kinda plausible, eh?"
"Since when did you become a psychiatrist?"
"Ha! Ya give me too much credit. If ya really wanna figure out if it's all true, maybe you should go find a real psychiatrist. Or maybe one of those portal guys. They know a lot about this kinda thing." Jerry takes another bite out of his sandwich.
"I guess so..."
There's nothing but silence between them for a while.
"...Say, uh..."
"Hm?"
"You know how I just... Appeared one day?"
"Yeah, one hell of a scene. Made the news."
"What if that has... Something to do with all this? I mean, there were other Anomalies in the dream, too..."
"Hey, I'unno about 'Anomalies,' so I can't tell ya. They studied ya, too, and they couldn't figure out anything. You're a walkin' enigma, bud."
"Heh. Funny you say 'enigma'... That's what they were called, apparently."
"Makes sense."
There's even more silence.
"Well, I guess I've bothered you enough... I better get back to being 'on patrol.'"
"Anytime, buddy."
