      Open Heart Surgery:
      I'm on a surgery table in what looks like a sunroom. I'm having open heart surgery and I am awake for it.
      Doctor is a younger guy and I am terrified. He seems very casual about what he is doing.
      At one point there is a break, and I'm told to go walk around.
      I emerge from the room into a Kohl's clothing store.
      My Dad, sister, and brother are there waiting for me.
      I feel a pain in my chest, it feels real.
