Sensible advice. [he doesn't know the woman-- maybe just her name and occupation, overheard a few times. But this is a good place for questions.]

"Planting shifts in the mainstream subconscious" -- that's an interesting way to put it. What do you mean?

If these dreams are truly inorganic then that means they are being directly put into our subconscious and activate when we sleep. From what I'm understanding however, these dreams are not just regular but memories. False ones.

There are some parts of a person's memory that cannot be accessed by the waking mind, but in sleep they can be. So, these shifts have been planted into our memory, but only the subconscious one.

...It's just a theory though.

It sounds like a pretty good one... [he follows, in silence-- though perhaps understanding "subconscious" as something a little different that the definitions of psychoanalysts]

Only--- [pause] -- the shifts went to some lengths with the details, don't you think?

The shifts may not be supplying us with the details all together, but just mixing things up. Like showing people in the Valley not as family, but as something else for example. They didn't create a new memory, they just jumbled an old one. They likely provided details for other things however.

[he thinks of other conversations, his own and the eavesdropped]

It seems less like jumbling real memories-- and more like... a whole separate, created, reality. The dream-narratives match up so closely.

Ahh, that's an interesting thought! A separate reality, created by the shifts in our subconscious. Has everyone you've been close to in this reality? I haven't really had dreams about anyone from the Valley yet.

Not everyone. [his voice drops.] Not in the same-- capacity, you might say.

I guess some people are more influenced by their surrounds than others. I didn't dream at all about anyone in the Valley myself.
