Hal and Mario on liars in the dark — "Booboo, I dreamed I was losing…"
‘Booboo, I dreamed I was losing my teeth. I dreamed that my teeth dry-rotted somehow into shale and splintered when I ate or spoke, and I was jettisoning fragments all over the place, and there was a long scene where I was pricing dentures.’
Context
The teeth-dream's first movement restated to a listener — the same recurring dream given its first full statement at pp. 449-450 (093), now recounted the day after Hal's real Zegarelli visit and the talk of Himself's horrible bridgework (154). One of the three panels (093/146/155) the teeth-dream system is built on.
