In this nightmare, Bryant saw himself holding a gun sitting in a chair. Sun was pouring through a window in front of him. Behind him was fog. He felt that someone in the fog wanted him to shoot himself. The dream would end suddenly with him shooting himself in the head. While this dream was recurring, Bryant was experiencing much anxiety and sudden impulses to kill himself by leaping in front of cars.
Bryant had no awareness of this dream's meaning until he became aware of a personality, the Poet, whom he had not differentiated earlier. The Poet had as a child received much of the abuse from his father. He spoke poetically with a morbidly depressed, existential flavor ... The Poet admitted that these dreams were his weapons to depress Bryant and force him into suicide.
