"The Dream" ... Against a night sky filled with stars, Mulder's voice swept into the senses.

"I have been on the bridge that spans two worlds, the link between souls by which we cross into our own true nature."

     His darkened shadow appeared as he continued to speak and his image slowly began to move forward, becoming solid reality. "You were here today, looking for a truth that was taken from you. A truth which was never spoken but which now binds us together in dangerous purpose. I've returned from the dead to continue with you. But I fear that this danger is now close at hand and I may be too late."

      Suddenly, Scully jerked awake in her bed, bolting upright, shock and a touch of fear evident on her face. A supposedly dead Fox Mulder had just spoken to her in a dream.
