Delving into the human mind is Carolyn Fern’s calling. With her own brand of hypnotherapy, Carolyn attempts to help her patients by exploring their dreams. Through this experimental technique, Carolyn has found there is no clear line between reality and dream.
Carolyn Fern dwells in the minds of others. Using a complex form of hypnosis, she studies the psychology of her patients through their dreams. Through this practice, she has seen and heard many disturbing things. Some patients have claimed to travel to other realms in their sleep, or tell her of terrible creatures that haunt their dreams. Her research has led her from one bizarre case to another, and yet, she seems no closer to truly understanding the horrors of the world around her. Even so, Carolyn will not give up until she can uncover the root of these madnesses.
As an unusual “sleeping sickness” seeps into Arkham’s populace, those unaffected seem indifferent to the plight of their fellow citizens. There is no known cause, no sign of disease, no common thread to the victims. People seem to simply be falling asleep each night, never to awaken, and rumors abound of sleepwalkers wandering the streets at night. For Carolyn Fern, whose dream research and journeys to the Dreamlands have made her an expert on the unconscious mind, the mysterious outbreak is alarming.
When Carolyn Fern crosses paths with junior salesperson April May, the two women discover disturbing commonalities about the sleeping sickness that could explain everything. Read about Carolyn and April’s search for answers in The Nightmare Quest of April May and its sequel The Arcane Gamble of Harvey Walters, written by Rosemary Jones.
Soon thereafter, disaster strikes Arkham as a rising tide floods the city, and nothing will ever be the same. Carolyn finds herself afflicted with the very nightmares that haunt her patients, and she realizes she must interpret the true meaning of her dreams for herself. Decipher the hidden meaning of dreams in the new Seeker evergreen investigator deck for Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
