- Have you ever told anyone about your dream?
- No, I don't think so. Not even my wife. Now I come to think of it, after I wake, it never stays in my memory for more than a few seconds. And none of it ever comes back to me until the next time it starts.

Quote context

[...]

- I turn off the main road into the lane. At the bend in the lane, the house comes into view. And I stop, because I recognise it. Then I drive on again, and Foley meets me at the front door. I recognise him, too.

- And then, when I'm taking off my coat, I have the most extraordinary feeling. I nearly turn and run for it, because I know I am going to come face to face with the six of you.

- Well, you've only come face to face with five of us so far, not counting Eliot.

- That's right. Five of you. There is a sixth person who comes in later.

- Can you describe this late arrival?

- It's an attractive girl with dark hair.

- Is that you can tell us about her?

- She comes in quite unexpectedly, and says something about not having any money.

- A penniless brunette, eh?

- How romantic. Do you fall madly in love with her, Mr. Craig?

- Have you ever told anyone about your dream?

- No, I don't think so. Not even my wife. Now I come to think of it, after I wake, it never stays in my memory for more than a few seconds. And none of it ever comes back to me until the next time it starts.

- In fact, there's no evidence you ever dreamed this dream at all, is there?

- None whatever. I haven't a scrap of proof.

- Personally, I don't need any. I believe what you say, Mr. Craig.

- I believe you really have dreamt about us all.

- So do I.

- And so do I.

- Me too!

- I think I do, too.

- I don't question that you have been subject to a recurring dream, and no doubt it has a background vaguely similar to this. It would be quite enough to account for your feeling that you've been here before, it's quite a common experience.

- And that's all there is to it?

- That's all there is to it!

- Well, I must say it's very disappointing not to be one of the leading characters in a sort of supernatural drama after all.
