Telling about bad year. Terrible year. Horrid things happening. 
This person is now in a hospital for the mentally unstable.

Dream sequences concerning happy-ish memories. These are 
childhood memories of formative things. Of giving and caring and 
growing. Laughter and happiness. These things affect our friend 
now, finding analogies today, becoming well, though somewhat sad 
and perhaps even angry, definitely horrified.

Focus on the hospital. This person is treated as a stupid, slow 
individual. The counsellor is effective, but only minimally so, 
since this person is not understood. All the stories told to the 
counsellor are "taken with a grain of salt" and treated as the 
past only. This person feels trapped within their own mind, 
unable to express their need to get out of the hospital and just 
try to be "normal".

Closing with a memory of christmas, not getting what this person 
wanted, but finding happiness anyway.
"Good tidings of christmas, and a happy new year."
