"This tape recounts a dream which occurred close to the termination of approximately four hundred hours of
intensive individual therapy. Now the patient recounts her dream:"
“I had this dream earlier this morning, and I wrote it down. The dream is that I’m...
I’m in some sort of, a uh, I’m in a hotel, and it’s - I’m like at a convention or something…
and um, I feel sort of almost, uh, like there’s too much going on. There are all different kinds of meetings
going on, stuff on… experimental psych and therapy, chemical aspects, um… you know and I’m, while I,
I don’t mind having all of this going on inside of me, it’s, it’s sort of,
I think I’m going to be relieved when it’s over, and I can sort of settle back down.”
