Overview
The dream is unusually vivid: Bank employee Vince Grayson finds himself murdering a man in a sinister octagonal-shaped room lined with mirrors while a mysterious woman breaks into a safe. It is so vivid that Vince suspects it may have really happened. To get the dream off his mind, he goes on a picnic with some relatives. When a thunderstorm forces his party into a nearby mansion, Vince discovers that the bizarre room does exist, and it means nothing but trouble.

6.0"Vince" (DeForest Kelley) wakes up in a sweat one night convinced that he's murdered a young woman. He just assumes it was a vivid nightmare but then he starts to discover some objects around his apartment that he cannot explain.
