S1E10: ”Nightmares”

Students at Sunnydale High, including Buffy, Willow, and Xander, start to slip into waking dreams. It’s not too long before the walls of reality themselves start to blur and crumble. The secret to saving Sunnydale, and perhaps the world, might lie in the mind of a comatose boy who just wanted to play baseball. But to save the day, Buffy will have to confront her greatest fear.
