Jill Petterson peaks under her bed and The Sandman says hello and Jill is sucked under her bed into another realm. She walks around the realm, which is full of large clocks and finds people floating in the air, asleep. She enters a door and meets The Sandman. He tells her that she is in the Land of Nod where everyone goes to dream, and he is The Sandman. Jill tells him that she doesn't believe him, and he tells her that it is what she wished for. The Sandman tells Jill that she is in her own fairy tale. Jill asks to go home, but The Sandman tells her she can't and that her family is there, but they won't bother her anymore. Jill says she wants to go home again and then runs away.
She enters a door and finds a room full of doors and The Sandman tells her that the doors lead to other fairy tales. She opens a door and The Red Queen is inside the room holding a large axe and Jill closes the door. She opens another door and The Sugar House Witch says she was expecting Hansel and Gretel, but Jill will do nicely. Jill closes that door and enters another door and enters a room where her friend Stacy, Rick, Jon Petterson and Mrs. Petterson and Mr. Petterson are asleep, and she tries to wake them up. The Sandman laughs and Jill says that it isn't what she wished for. Jill yells that she wants to go home again and threatens to break a large hourglass. The Sandman appears and tells her to put it down and tells her that her fairy tale can't be changed. The Sandman threatens to put Jill asleep forever like the others and Jill realizes she can change her fairy tale. She smashes the hourglass and wakes up back in her bedroom screaming. Mrs. and Mr. Petterson check on her and Jill tells them that she is going to give up dreaming of fairy tales. As Jill falls back asleep The Sandman says that Jill went to sleep, promising never to believe in fairy tales again. If only she knew, she would never have gone in that bed again and then The Sandman laughs.
