In one of the film's early scenes, Uma Thurman's character is describing a dream she had about arranging flowers. She pretends to intend to mention "violet," then says, "violence" and "violate." Richard Gere, her psychologist, thinks this is a sign of trouble, especially after conferring with her sister, played by Kim Basinger, who says their father was sexually abusive.

Then, later on in the film, Gere is attending some form of a seminar about Freud's 'Interpretation of Dreams.' The speaker references the exact dream that Thurman described, with the floral arrangements, and says that Freud described it in his book. Gere rushes to the library, looks it up, and then realizes that his sessions with Thurman were too textbook to be true.
