In this short scene, a young man named betbeder describes a nightmare he has had many times before. He is walking through the snow on his way home from school, when he suddenly realizes that he is lost and disoriented. He decides to go on ahead, even though he knows that if he stops, he will die. He fears that he will be killed if he does not stop, so he decides to rest for a while, and then he will go on. When he begins to scream, he realizes that his fear is irrational and uncontrollable, and that he has to face it. He resolves to face his fears with only God as his judge.
