"I have been here before

but when or how I cannot tell

I know the grass beyond the door

the sweet keen smell,

the sighing sound, the lights around the shore"

I Have Been Here Before

by J.B. Priestley

 

Dr Görtler believes that a future dimension of time can be entered in dreams, and is drawn to a Yorkshire inn in search of proof. He had dreamed of an unhappy couple coming to his inn, the wife meeting a lover, and the discovery driving her husband to suicide. To his horror, Dr Görtler sees the dream in danger of becoming reality. He warns them of the potential unhappiness and fortunately, they heed him.
