Lore 291: Dream Come True

We often use the phrase "dream come true" to describe wonderful things you envision for our lives. But looking at the folklore behind it, there might be a darker, more complicated nightmare at work.
Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by GennaRose Nethercott, research by Cassandra de Alba, and music by Chad Lawson.
