Liz insists the dream is really happening to her, although her agent, Barney, seems doubtful. Her doctor also tries to assure her that this is impossible. He produces the night nurse who attends the morgue, and the woman looks nothing like the figure from Liz's dream. The doctor suggests that Liz try an experiment in lucid dreaming, and alter one detail of the dream to undo its hold over her. Specifically, to not reach for the glass upon "waking". Barney is very encouraging of this approach, but Liz orders him to leave, seeing his behavior as patronizing.
