(note:  we believe that the remedy was physically curative for prover #2 (Rheumatoid arthritis))

00      #2(F)   After I took the 2nd dose of the remedy, I laid down for a nap.                      I had a dream where I became very light-- and I was flying in
                     my house from room to room to room, looking down at my
                     husband. I felt light and young. When I woke up, I was pain free
                     for the first time in 15 years.

DREAMS:

00      #2(F)   After I took the 1st dose of the remedy, I laid down for a
                     nap. I had a dream where I became very light-- and I was flying
                     in my house from room to room to room, looking down at my
                     husband. I felt light and young. When I woke up, I was pain free
                     for the first time in 15 years.

00      #2      I also dreamt I was flying or floating on a man's back.

00      #2      I am a white ghost floating in an old house. I felt like I was
                   dreaming at the same time that I was awake.

01      #2      I am a soldier riding a horse on a beach while I'm looking at
                    a house under the water.

01      #2      I'm on vacation. I'm wearing a red dress and I look like a
                    hooker.

03      #2      I dreamt I was in Italy, on the beach. I felt very young and light.

03      #2      I was in Italy, wearing only a towel. I was with old friends and
                    family and there were 2 blonde Labrador retrievers, one of
                    them was blind.

03      #2      I was living with some girls that I know, but one of them I
                    can't stand.

00      #3(F)   I was a troll lady with enormous red hair. Monkeys were
                     scuttling off into the distance.

03      #3      I dreamt of wild horses.

03      #3      I dreamt of Spanish girls with beautiful blue eyes. I caressed
                   them.

03      #3      I run into my old boyfriend and another woman. I woke up
                   feeling lonely and really sad about all the hurt I felt with him.

12      #3      I'm at a nudist colony where there are people with gross,
                    saggy, fleshy bodies. There is an "examiner" who threatens
                    to dry up my period (menses) and turn me into an old crone.

28      #3      I'm getting married and a gay friend comes to my wedding.
                    I'm so happy to see him.

05      #4(F)   There were monsters in elevators and escalators. The
                     monsters are sucking people up- many people are dying.

01      #5(M)   I'm in a green terraced city. My wife is subserviently
                     waitressing to her friends and to some greedy gay men. I
                     suddenly realized how much her abortion affected me.

01      #5      There is a baby- and it is really sick. There is a choice
                    between the "Gay men's health crisis center" or "Pilgrim".

02      #5      I'm in a crypt on a raft in the ocean. The "good" revolutionaries
                    machine gun the "bad" guys until they become liquefied by the
                    bullets.

03      #5      I need to take a shit- so I squat down behind a railroad seat
                    and I go into a coffee filter. I put it in my underwear. I see an
                    old friend and his girlfriend come by. They are porno stars and
                    they tell me to come and watch. I am repulsed by the corrupt
                    sexuality.

                    and want to fine us for being there and they are threatening us
                    and looking for a bribe.

                    One wing is all bathrooms, newly tiled. Is the house $35,000 or
                    $350,000?

08      #5      I am with my supervisor on a ranch in the tropics taking

                    desire- and my wife fends me off. So I go back to sleep and
                    dream of being on the same beach again.

13      #5      I'm in a depopulated factory town. I go into an old house and
                    its flooded. There are cats on the floor. I make some hot dogs

                    swimming.

11      #6      I dreamt of my dead mother.

12      #6      I'm looking for a shower. I wander into the men's shower
                    room. They get really upset and threaten me.

15      #6      I dreamt I was sitting on some damp grass.

19      #6      I'm traveling through tunnels to get to a movie theatre.

02      #7(M)   I'm repairing an old house. I'm laying bathroom tiles.

03      #7      There are bombs falling from the sky. Soldiers are attacking
                    and bombing.

09      #7      I see my wife with a young man. I feel really betrayed.

01      #8(F)   I'm living on a island. I see some people up on a balcony-
                     some of them are falling off and they are being sucked up
                     into a sewer grate. Two girlfriends of mine drive off in an old
                     car to catch a boat. I heard that the car caught fire and the

                    Superior is very grouchy and unhelpful.

                     that I have deceived the other woman by not telling her
                     I'm married.

00      #10     I am standing at a urinal. The man next to me says I have
                     a very large penis and asks if he can touch it. I realize the
                     bathroom is full of perverts.

00      #10     I'm in a large stadium where a strange lacrosse type game
                     is being played on un cut grass. The ball is a large flat pillow.
                     I realize I'm barefoot and I look for my boots.

00      #10     I'm in an office with an attractive woman. I turn off the lights
                     -- but then all the people return.

01      #10     I dreamt of someone with a large tumor on his left shoulder.
