00:00 I can't make out just what sort of a place it was.
00:04 It seemed to be a gambling house.
00:15 But there weren't any walls, just a lot of curtains with eyes painted on them.
00:21 A man was walking around with a large pair of scissors, cutting all the drapes in half.
00:29 And then a girl came in with hardly anything on and started walking around the gambling room kissing everybody.
00:35 She came to my table first.
00:38 Did you recognize this kissing bug?
00:42 I'm afraid she looked a little like Constance.
00:47 This is plain ordinary wishful dreaming. Go on.
00:52 I was sitting there playing cards with a girl.
00:57 I was sitting there playing cards with a man who had a beard.
01:01 I was dealing to him and I turned up a seven of clubs.
01:06 He said, "That makes 21. I win."
01:12 When he turned up his cards, they were blank.
01:15 Just then the proprietor came in and accused him of cheating.
01:18 The proprietor yelled, "This is my place and if I catch you cheating again, I'll fix you."
01:25 I'm sorry about that kissing bug.
01:27 I'm glad you didn't dream of me as an egg beater as one of my patients did.
01:31 - Why? What would that mean? - Never mind.
01:34 Does it make any sense to you what I dreamed?
01:37 Not yet. You're trying to tell yourself something. What it is, we'll figure out later.
01:41 There's a lot more to it.
01:44 Go on and try to recall the details.
01:47 The more cockeyed, the better for the scientific side of it.
01:52 He was leaning over the sloping roof of a high building.
01:55 There was a man with a beard. I yelled at him to watch out.
01:59 Then he went over, slowly, with his feet in the air.
02:03 And then I saw the proprietor again, the man in the mask.
02:07 He was hiding behind a tall chimney and he had a small wheel in his hand.
02:12 I saw him drop the wheel on the road.
02:19 I saw him drop the wheel on the roof.
02:21 Suddenly I was running. Then I heard something beating over my head.
02:32 It was a great pair of wings.
02:34 The wings chased me and almost caught up with me when I came to the bottom of the hill.
