You can imagine my surprise as I observed that the patient in room 117, at the north end of the hall, was first to awake, screaming; no sooner had I collected his impressions than the patient in 118 awoke in a similar condition.

Further investigation into the phenomenon is demanded.''<br>		''I noted with very great interest an increase in the number and severity of nightmares experienced by the patients in block C in the last six weeks.

	The Bastellus is a unique type of undead as it has been argued that they are a "natural" byproduct to a person's hopes and dreams.

They can be controlled by an [[Amulet of Bastellus Control]].		The Bastellus is a unique type of undead as it has been argued that they are a "natural" byproduct to a person's hopes and dreams.
