Clients who have “merged” using the headset apparatus have “had the fold lifted” and during that time, a full recording of the last night’s dreams are available if you know which nerve to tap. A dark figure lets clients know that their dreams will be on display at the downtown art museum with their picture and name right next to the installation, which will be tastefully framed.

What remains is a partial account of how a fragile, slow-moving system of handwritten messages and delayed confirmations was methodically identified, mapped, and absorbed by the Department of Cognitive Affairs. The CDA's case notes and the subject's own fragmentary writings sit side by side in the file, neither fully legible, neither fully reliable.
