THE BIO-FEEDBACK REGULATORS CAN ALTER OUR BRAINWAVES, RIGHT? WELL, YES, BUT THAT'S A HUGE JUMP TO A KIND OF TELEPATHIC LINK BETWEEN SLEEPERS, EVEN IF THIS WERE TRUE, WHY WOULD ONE PERSON CONTROL THE ENTIRE DREAM? MAYBE VALLE KNOWS HE'S DREAMING, MAYBE THAT ALLOWS HIM TO MANIPULATE THE OTHERS, LUCIDE DREAMING, I'VE HEARD OF IT, BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE DREAMING, WHY WEREN'T YOU CONTROLLED LIKE THE OTHERS? I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE IT WAS THE TUMOR, I KNOW THEIR NAMES, FOR GOD'S SAKE! WHICH YOU PROBABLY SAW ON THEIR CHAMBERS BEFORE YOU ENTERED COLD SLEEP, JUST WAKE ONE OF THEM UP, I CAN'T DO THAT, IT TAKES A FULL DAY TO BRING SOMEONE OUT OF COLD SLEEP AND AS THEIR BODY FUNCTIONS ACCELERATE, SO DO THEIR DISEASES, AND WITHOUT A CURE WAITING FOR THEM, WE SIMPLY CAN' TAKE THAT RISK, MR, DALTON, YOU HAD A DREAM, PUT IT OUT OF YOUR MIND, YOU'RE WHOLE, YOU'RE HEALTHY, YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE LIFE TO GET BACK TO, RAY, YOU'RE LUCKY, I'VE WRITTEN LIVING TRUSTS FOR PEOPLE TO MANAGE THEIR ESTATES WHILE THEY'RE IN COLD SLEEP, SOME ARE IN THERE FOR DECADES, YOU GOT REVIVED IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS, GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE, YOU THINK I'D BE GOOD AT THAT?
