.Haber at once started attaching the little things on wires to his head, parting the thickhair to do so.Heather remembered that process from her own brain-printing, part of the battery of testsand records made on every Fed-peep citizen.It made her uneasy to see it done to her husband.As if theelectrode things were little suction cups that would drain the thoughts out of George's head and turn theminto scribbles on a piece of paper, the meaningless writing of the mad.George's face now wore a look ofextreme concentration.What was he thinking?Haber put his hand on George's throat suddenly as if about to throttle him, and reaching out with theother hand, started a tape which spoke the hypnotist's spiel in his own voice: "You are entering thehypnotic state." Within a few seconds he stopped it and tested for hypnosis.George was under."O.K.," Huber said, and paused, evidently pondering.Huge, like a grizzly bear reared up on its hindlegs, he stood there between her and the slight, passive figure on the couch.

Right? Actually I'm pretty confident of success.It'll do the trick.The dependency on sleeping drugs will be quite broken, once the obsessive fear ofdreaming is erased.It's purely a matter of conditioning.I've got to keep an eye on that EEG, he'll bedreaming now." Quick and massive, he moved across the room.She sat still, watching George's calmface, from which the expression of concentration, all expression, was gone.So he might look in death.Dr.Haber was busy with his machines, restlessly busy, bowing over them, adjusting them, watchingthem.He paid no heed at all to George."There," he said softly not to her, Heather thought; he was his own audience."That's it.Now.Now alittle break, second-stage sleep for a bit, between dreams." He did something to the equipment in thewall."Then we'll run a little test." He came over to her again; she wished he would really ignore herinstead of pretending to talk to her.He seemed not to know the uses of silence."Your husband has beenof inestimable service to our research here, Mrs.Orr.A unique patient.What we've learned about thenature of dreaming, and the employment of dreams in both positive and negative conditioning therapy,will be of literally inestimable value in every walk of life.You know what HURAD stands for.HumanUtility: Research and Development.Well, what we've learned from this case will be of immense, literallyimmense, human utility.An amazing thing to develop out of what appeared to be a routine case of minordrug abuse! The most amazing thing about it is that the hacks down at the Med School had the wits tonotice anything special in the case and refer it up to me.You seldom get so much acuteness in academicclinical psychologists." His eye had been on his watch all along, and he now said, "Well, back to Baby," Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmland swiftly recrossed the room [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
