“Couldn't what begins as an exercise in self-knowledge actually reveal out darkest impulses? Once we experience our dreams --not via recollection, but right there in the moment-- how long is it before we start to believe that this is who we really are, what we really want, how we really feel? You're giving people access to their dreams as they're happening, which must make the dreams feel infinitely more real--more believable. Couldn't they lost track of what's real and what's not? Doesn't the line begin to blue? When does one's dream consciousness become their consciousness, I mean? Maybe the dreams themselves aren't dangerous. Maybe what's dangerous is putting people in contact with them.”

“To look at something is to change it. You're opening a part of the brain that the brain itself has tried desperately to hide. There's got to be an evolutionary reason we don't remember most of our dreams. Some things are better tucked away, if you catch my drift. Some books shouldn't be read.”
