Oh, that's dangerous!

For the Augmentor changes nothing, George.

Miss Crouch, could you bring Mr. Orr the Consent to Hypnosis form, please. Thank you!

Do you trust me, George?

Ok.

Good, now I'd like you to lye back and get comfortable.

Now, is this comfortable?

Look what a nice healthy signal from your brain.

So at the top screen here, those are your theta rhythms,

nice healthy thetas.

And only a three on susceptibility scale, we could be here all afternoon.

I'm gonna to perform the V-C induction.

I'll see you are not disturbed.

Now, George. I'd like you to relax.

I'd like you to look up at the ceiling.

You don't have a simple brain, my friend, nor a crazy one.

Now, you're beginning to get sleepy, George,

very relaxed, so relaxed, you can't move a muscle.

Your eyelids are very heavy.

You're going to go to sleep now, George.

And while you're sleepy, you'll have no trouble hearing my voice.

And you will wake up, when you hear me call your name three times.

You're going to sleep now.

Can you hear my voice, George?

Mh.

Good.

No sigmoid jags usually prevalent and certain in schizoid personality types.

Sleep patterns normal.

Uh, you're beginning to dream now, George.

REM patterns unusual.

Something very unusual in the whole pointing area.

When I say the word Antwerp

you are going to have a dream I suggest to you.

It will be a pleasant, vivid dream about a horse in a meadow,

beautiful set. It will be a good dream, George.

An effective dream about a horse. Antwerp!

<i>George! George!</i>

<i>George!</i>

Feel ok?

Yeh!

Well, you did dream, my friend! That much I can tell you.

What was it about?

A horse. It was about a horse.

That one.

What about it?

Don't you notice anything unusual about that picture?

Oh, some people find it a bit overwhelming.

You know what's Freud said about horses, staircases and cigars?

- Was it here an hour ago? - An hour ago?

Yes, wasn't that a picture of Mount Hood when I came in?

Mount Hood?

Yeh, I remember it, don't you?

George, that is Tammany Hall, the triple crown-winner.

Oh, I'm insane!

No, I'm not insane!

I'm not insane. I know I'm not insane!

- So not to drive me insane! - Back up, George!

Dreams are not harmful, for instance, day dreams can be wonderful.

I have them all withy. I dream heroics.

I save the girl, the whole damn planet.

Haber saves the world!

Yeh, I daydream sometimes, that I have a cabin

- by the ocean. - Eh,

that's nice. What does that tell you about yourself?

That I am a massacre; nobody can afford a cabin by the ocean anymore.

You know, what I'd like to see, George?

I'd like to see you learn to use your dreams.
