"I don't like the look of that thing. That's a cot. or like a bed. Only-it's for me. I feel sick inside. Just sick! I'm not-I'm not. I'm just sort of watching all of this. Because it always starts like that where you don't know it's not a dream, but it's not, you know. And when they came in, like two big lines of them cane right in the door. The whole room. I mean, there were a lot of them. You're talking about a whole bunch of them.

"I don't know where they are now. I lie down on the cot. It dust gets... sort of jumbled. I remember I thought it was almost like getting into the electric chair. And it goes off the back of the porch and I know this is a dream because I'm flying. I'm flying so this must be a dream.

I don't want to see the last of that house, though. I don't. I don't want to see the last of that house. [Sobs, gasps.]

"Where is the snow? We're way out in the woods. way the hell. You know, I can't understand this because I've gone so far from- It's like there's vines right on my shoulder.

"I don't know if I can tell you. And also I'm not sure I'm awake. Am I awake?" (The room had a vague look to it, and I felt deeply relaxed.)

"Hard to tell at this point. Why don't we try to go back in. Very quiet. Relaxed..."

"It was real clear at first. Then just this second it got —"

"Things will be slowed down for you. We'll go through this very slowly."

"OK."

"Slow and relaxed. Slowing down for you. Back to this time. Are you floating?"

"No, they're carrying me. At least they're around me. You see, what's so funny is I'm lying down and I can see the sky. I can see the clouds. And-they're all around me, though. And I'm naked and I'm not cold. And I can see the sky. This thing has like... there's two places for my arms... and it's not like a bed. It's got places for my feet and it's got a place for my-head. I'm lying on it and I'm looking up at the sky and I can see... things-like the clouds.
