Quote #4
The creative and therapeutic resources of the brain—whether waking or sleeping or dreaming—are practically infinite. If we can just find the keys to all the locks. The power of dreaming alone is quite undreamt of!" (3.33)
This is just one example of Dr. Haber referring to George's dreams as locks needing keys. Why does he use this metaphor? And what are the keys? Could it be the Augmentor?
Quote #5
"For example," he said, "I frequently daydream heroics. I am the hero. I'm saving a girl, or a fellow astronaut, or a besieged city, or a whole damn planet. Messiah dreams, do-gooder dreams. Haber saves the world! (3.41)
Um... Well, those dreams tell us a lot about Dr. Haber. Like, this dude totally wants to be a Messiah, or Superman, or Super-Messiah. Yeah, we've all been there… or not. How do Dr. Haber's dreams compare with the dreams that George has? What do those tell you about him?
Quote #6
"No. I never buried anybody. Nobody died of the Plague. There wasn't any Plague. It's all in my imagination. I dreamed it." (5.98)
Here's a brain twister: is it true that there wasn't any plague? Is it not "real" because George dreamed it? Or is it just as real as anything else, especially since George can change reality? What makes reality real? Are dreams part of reality? Where do you draw the line?
