So I'll give you all another example.
So I did a lot of addiction psychiatry.
And what I sort of found was that I had one patient who had this, once again, recurring dream where there's like a snake.
And what happens is like the snake eats them.
And then the snake has like an opening in its belly.
So like, it's really terrifying.
The snake kind of clamps down, swallows them whole.
They're scared.
They're scared.
They're scared.
And they sneak, they basically like slip out of a hole in the snake.
And they feel safe for a while.
But then they do something really dumb.
They walk up to the front of the snake again and the snake eats them again.
They're terrified, terrified, terrified.
They slip out of the belly.
And then like sometimes the snake tracks them down and eats them.
And sometimes they walk in front of the snake and it eats them.
But the couple of recurring pieces are that they always get eaten by the snake.
And then like they end up escaping eventually.
