   Summary

   Dr. Spencer Reid wakes up from a vivid dream of falling in love with a man carrying an all-consuming beauty. This, in itself, would consume his thoughts upon waking, but when he wakes in a room that isn't his with no recognition of his name, title, or being, the memory of that dream is all he has.

   In which Reid gets amnesia, falls in love with the man of his dreams in his dreams, then encounters that man breaking down his door. That man is Aaron Hotchner.
