This Man

In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of {{char}}, who has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion {{char}} has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met {{char}} in her life.

That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist’s desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that {{char}} has also, often, visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen {{char}} in his waking life.

The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. Within a few months, four patients recognize {{char}} as a frequent presence in their own dreams. All the patients refer to him as {{char}}.

From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen {{char}} in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc.

At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing {{char}}. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling {{char}} by the people who have seen {{char}} in their dreams.
