Dr. Tierkel also had good news for people who may be bitten by suspected rabid animals around the head and neck-from which the virus may reach the central nervous system before abdominal injections have time to build up protective antibody.

But, taken seriously, the dream sequences are too obscure for an analyst, but an editor might have helped...
