Dan had a job at the Helen Rivington House, a hospice where Dan also volunteered the special services allowed him by the shining.
John knew a little about Dan’s abilities because Dan helped him locate a watch that he had lost. Dan met John Dalton, Abra’s pediatrician, through AA meetings. Meanwhile, Dan had made friends in Frazier with Billy Freeman, a man with a bit of the shining who sensed that Dan needed help with his alcohol problem, and Casey Kingsley, the man who became Dan’s sponsor in AA. Lucy walked into the house to discover all of the spoons hanging from the ceiling. Abra claimed she could do the same thing. During the course of the party, Abra was excited by the abilities of a magician, who hung spoons on his face. They wanted John to see for himself what Abra was able to do. On Abra’s third birthday, Lucy, David, and Abra’s great-grandmother, known as Momo, requested that Abra’s pediatrician, John Dalton, attend to the party to observe Abra’s behavior. The numbers on Abra’s chest in her parents’ dreams were the flight numbers of the planes used in the attack. On the morning of September 11, Abra stopped crying and slept right after the second plane hit the World Trade Center. She continued to scream through the night even though doctors could find nothing physically wrong with her. They were both woken from their sleep by the sound of Abra screaming. In their separate dreams, when Lucy and David found Abra, she had a number written on her chest. On the night of September 10, 2011, Lucy and David Stone both had dreams about Abra in which she was crying. When he reached the town of Frazier, however, Dan never guessed that he had been called there for the purpose of helping a girl with the shining overcome her demons, just like Richard “Dick” Hallorann had helped Dan at the Overlook.Ībra Stone was just a few months old when her parents began to realize that she had special abilities. Dan’s drinking, along with his anger issues, landed him in jail several times and kept him from staying at a job for long. The alcohol helped to blot out the pain as well as lessen the visions he had a result of his still active shining.
Haunted by the memories of the terrifying months he spent in the Overlook Hotel while his father slowly went mad, Dan drank to excess. In Doctor Sleep by Stephen King, the adult version of Daniel “Dan” Torrence appeared to have followed in his father’s footsteps. The following version of the novel was used to create this study guide: King, Stephen.
