Panel 1:

• A character with long, dark hair, wearing a purple shirt, is looking at a brain with arms and legs.
• The character says, “Hey, Brain! What’s with nightmares?!”
• The brain responds, “It’s your fault!”

Panel 2:

• The brain explains, “I’m designed to spend your sleeping hours simulating scenarios you’re likely to encounter.”
• The character is listening attentively.

Panel 3:

• The character asks, “And what input do you feed me? Horror movies and workplace anxiety?”
• The brain responds, “So, what do I do? I simulate zombie attacks and slide presentations gone awry.”

Panel 4:

• The character looks frustrated, saying, “And then you come along and get upset, like I didn’t try to make a meal with the ingredients you gave me.”

Panel 5:

• The brain continues, “Your ancestors had dreams about lion attacks, then got better at fighting lions. You have dreams about your experiences, and they make you worse at your own life!”

Panel 6:

• The character asks, “Does that tell you anything about your priorities?”
• The brain responds, “I’m gonna start drinking wine before bed.”

Panel 7:

• The brain concludes, “Brain is pleased.”

The comic uses humor to address the complexities of dreams and anxiety, personifying a brain that simulates nightmares based on the character's everyday experiences.
