[Metamorphosis] current theory: Orr's real-world self is the comatose patient showing up on his tv - "he" [Jimmy?], the English engineer, the one in love with Andrea Crammond. Orr, the barbarian, the man running from the train... all related to the trauma that put him in the coma.

what's a dream? what isn't? is Orr trapped in his own version of wonderland, where no one makes any sense and where you are and what you do don't matter? questions on top of questions... curiouser and curiouser...

I think I get it now. the bridge is like a Tower of Babel, only lateral, "disappearing over the horizon in both directions." The amnesiac, washed up, found, and nursed back to health has seen no land since his arrival. His research is limited by language and access - "requests for information still sinking through miasmic layers of bureaucratic ooze... they will be virtually meaningless." poor guy.

ah... the unsettling dreams of a lying amnesiac. my curiosity is piqued, please continue.
