:05:00
How do you feel?
:05:01
Not bad.
:05:03
I hallucinated like a son of a bitch.
:05:06
A variety of dream states, mystical states...
:05:09
...a lot of religious allegory,
mostly out of Revelation.
:05:11
You were in there close to five hours.
:05:14
It felt like an hour.
:05:15
I'd like to try that myself sometime.
:05:16
You should. You'll like it.
:05:22
Did we have any communication?
:05:24
Sure. I kept checking you out
like you told me to.
:05:27
How did I respond?
:05:29
Very orderly.
At one point you were crying.
:05:32
You mean, actually crying?
:05:34
You were sobbing.
There were tears on your face.
:05:37
When I asked you what was going on,
you said you were...
:05:40
...re-experiencing your father's death.
:05:44
Did you make notes?
:05:46
It's all there.
:05:47
I'd like to try this again next week. Do you
think you could make it again next week?
:05:52
What are we looking for?
:05:55
I don't know, yet.
:05:59
There's really very little literature
on this kind of research.
:06:02
There are some good people in the field:
Tart, Ornstein and Deikman...
:06:05
...but most of it is radical-hip stuff,
drug-culture apologias.
:06:09
Obviously, the first thing to do is
set up some sensible methodology...
:06:12
...study these experiences
under controlled laboratory conditions.
:06:15
It won't interfere with the work
we're doing with Hobart.
:06:18
What are we getting into?
Sensory deprivation? Isolation studies?
:06:21
I mean, where will we be going
with the tank stuff?
:06:24
We're not writing up a grant.
Strictly bootlegging, just for kicks.
:06:27
We've got the use of this tank.
Let's play with it.
:06:29
Let's find out where it takes us.
:06:32
It's fascinating stuff.
I think we ought to get into it.
:06:37
I didn't even know they had one of those
isolation tanks at New York Hospital.
:06:41
Must be some guy
in the Psychology Department...
:06:43
...doing sensory deprivation studies.
:06:46
What's Jessup doing with it?
:06:48
You've got me. He's been taking students
out of his classes and testing them.
:06:52
He's been doing this for three, four months.
:06:55
Did you know...
:06:57
...Jessup was into this kind of stuff?
:06:58
Not until you just told me.
