The Pros and Cons cycle begins with a British man dreaming one night of 
driving across the German countryside, with "two hitch hikers slumped in the 
back seat". The protagonist wonders whether to indulge in his sexual 
fantasies with his female passenger. After an attack of fear, he awakens and 
propositions his wife, who rejects him. He dreams of a solution to their marital 
difficulties in which they move out of the city and settle with their children in 
rural America, the wife's native land. The venture soon collapses, and the 
wife begins having an affair. The protagonist responds by telling her to leave 
and take the kids with her, so he can set out alone "on the road again". 
Picked up by a truck driver, he rants about his wife's dismissal of him, and 
receives some sympathy that is short-lived. His dream "goes from bad to 
worse", moving from fantasy to nightmare, until he reaches a truck stop and 
a waitress treats him with kindness that restores his empathy. The moment 
having passed, and the "moment of clarity faded", he wakes up, reaches out 
to his wife and is reassured by her presence.
