But not all nightmares happen at night.  The worst are those that happen during the time we are awake ...wide awake, and we know we're not asleep; that it is really happening.  We may wish we were just having a nightmare, and that we could just wake up and everything will be fine ...but the reality is, everything is not fine.  Ruth has one of these moments when the police come for her.  She is told she's being charged with murder.
