The CBS Radio Mystery Theater promised more adult situations than were found in the Golden Age of Radio. This episode featured prostitution (although the words "prostitute," "whore," or anything equally explicit were left unsaid) and marital infidelity from an (almost) sympathetic character. Thriller, prophetic dreams.

A man inexplicably leaves his loving wife to pursue a trampish barfly who he is sure is his dream woman. He dreams that he will love her and she will kill him. A lot of story masterfully crammed into 44 minutes. Highly recommended

A man has a dream of a beautiful woman with whom he immediately falls in love, until the dream woman pulls out a knife and makes for him with fairly obvious intentions. Upon waking, his wife is concerned with the dream, and the man seeks professional advice from a psychiatrist. Upon leaving from his first session he encounters a woman in the lobby waiting her own appointment who matches exactly the woman in his dreams.
