Plagued by nightmares of his own death, a California professor puzzles out the riddle of his dreams in this classic spine-tingler about past lives

Dr. Peter Proud’s ordinary life as a professor is threatened by recurrent dreams that all end the same way: with his murder in a lake by a mysterious woman named Marcia.

But he soon discovers a new dimension to his dilemma while watching a television show called America, Past and Present—and realizes the show is set in the town in his dreams.

The woman, Marcia Curtis, is shocked to find that Peter's personality traits and characteristics closely mirror those of her dead husband, Jeff. Tensions escalate when Peter, having inserted himself into the Curtis' lives, falls in love with Marcia's daughter. Will a second tragedy occur just as Peter is about the unravel the mystery behind his dreams?
