The main character of this story, Kimberly Clerk, lives in London. She is a beautiful, young girl of 25 years old. Also she has a good position in her company and earns a handsome amount of money.
But Kim has a problem. She has a problem of Recurring Dream. She sees a mysterious dream night after night. In her Dream she sees a person and place which are completely unknown to her. Her strange Dream always starts on a country road. Kim always stands on this road and she sees a lane with a white fence and a white hedge on both each side. At the end of that lane, on the top of the hill, Kim sees a beautiful white house with green shutters. In her dream, Kim walks up the lane and towards the house, reaches the house and enters the house. Then, she looks around and in one of the rooms, she finds a man sleeping on the bed. That man is a little old man with white hair and white beard. When Kim comes near to his bead, that old man wakes up and looks at her. When Kim opens her mouth to speak to him, she suddenly wakes up in her own bed in London.
Kim is much troubled and bothered by that recurring dream of hers. Kim has a roommate named Janet Wilson with whom she shares everything. She has told her roommate about her strange dream too. One day Janet proposes Kim to her parent’s farmhouse in the countryside. Kim immediately accepts her proposal and both of them sets out to the countryside in Janet’s car. As soon as they enter on to a country road, Kim sees the same place as in her dream. Kim gets out from Janet’s car and stands out on the same country road on which she used to stand in her dream. Now Kim sees the same lane and the same house as of her Dream. Then, she slowly walks on that lane of the house. As soon as she reaches to the house she sees a board on which it was written “FOR SALE”. It was only the main difference she had seen against her Dream.
Kim knocks the door and her knock is answered by the same old man. To Kim’s surprise, that man is much terrified seeing her on his door and immediately closes the door. Kim requests the old man to open the door and the man opens the door again and asks Kim for why she came back again. Kim became so nervous and asked the old man that “This house is FOR SALE for what reason”. Then the old man replies that he is going to sale the house because the house is haunted by a ghost every night. When Kim asks the old man about the Ghost, he replies that the Ghost is none other than Kim herself.
