The rest of the dream plays out as it always does, and Liz goes into a further state of panic.
She decides to reward herself with a cigarette from a pack sitting on the nightstand, but as she goes to get it, the glass breaks again. After a few moments, the footsteps do not sound, and the dancer breathes a sigh of relief. That evening, Liz hears the ticking clock and almost reaches for the glass of water, but stops herself. But Liz is not convinced, so the doctor suggests a new tactic: breaking the pattern of the dream and thus escaping its power. The doctor summarily dismisses the nightmare as meaning anything, bringing in the actual night nurse to prove his point-this woman looks nothing like the mysterious woman in the morgue. It seems that the whole incident was one of many dreams that she has been having the details of the dream are always the same, and Liz feels compelled to act them out no matter what. Liz speaks with her visiting agent and doctor about the previous evening's events. The next morning, the audience learns that the blonde woman is one Liz Powell, an "exotic dancer" (read: stripper) who's been hospitalized for exhaustion and overwork. She runs after the nurse and gets out on the lower floors of the hospital, where a pair of swinging doors is labeled with the number twenty-two and the word "MORGUE." As the woman stares in horror, the nurse emerges and, with a creepy grin, intones "Room for one more, honey." The blonde woman screams in fear and rushes into the elevator, while Rod Serling appears to provide the episode's narration. Immediately following the crashing glass, the sound of loud footsteps echoes from the hallway the woman gets out of bed and follows them, spotting a nurse disappearing into an elevator.
The woman reaches for a glass of water on the nightstand, only to accidentally break it. The episode opens on a young blonde woman sleeping in a hospital bed after a few moments, a loudly-ticking clock awakens her. The problem here is that both Miss Powell and you will reach a point where it might be difficult to decide which is reality and which is nightmare, a problem uncommon perhaps but rather peculiar to the Twilight Zone. In a moment she'll wake up and we'll remain at her side. And at this moment we have just finished walking with her in a nightmare.

She's a professional dancer and she's in the hospital as a result of overwork and nervous fatigue.
