A doctor is looking at the back of someone's throat. He is looking way down into this throat with a light and he takes a tissue sample for tests. All the time he is doing this, it is like I am under the operating table looking up through the person's throat. I can see the doctor at the other end, holding a light. As I crawl out from under the table, they come back with the lab reports. Someone says that everything is all right—no traces of anything. (J.F., Willowick, Ohio)

I'm in an upper room. A girl shows me some cells- brain cells or throat cells—under a microscope. Does she have mono? No! We then dance the Jewish hora. It's supposed to be a school but everyone has something like spring fever, so the teacher lets us dance. (V.B., Baltimore, Maryland)

(Dream 1): There is the feeling of rebirth as I contemplate returning to school. There is a question, however, of finances and of being able to get along with a certain troublemaker. The dean of the school is hopeful, but I remain skeptical. I am talking on the phone to this troublemaker about the existence of underground springs in the ruins of two old dwellings, one an old farm and the other an abandoned airport. I am suspicious of his interest in the springs but as the conversation continues I become less so. Then I am shoveling snow in a parking lot with this person and his friend. We are cordial, even friendly, as we discuss the new venture that is to take place in this lot. A Synanon- type organization, or a benefactor of like mind, is sponsoring people to start businesses here, and when they are established and operating at a good level, reparations can be made. Then the powerlines overhead catch my attention and I contemplate opening a coffeeshop or teahouse here since the location is next to the train station and should be busy with commuters. Finally, I return to my old job as a taxi driver by this train station. Many of my old friends are also returning to this place to take up their old jobs. There is a feeling of happiness and I find myself tolerant of those people who had disappointed me in the past.
