The Lathe of Heaven

by Ursula K. Le Guin

1971 science-fiction novel about George Orr, a Portland man whose 'effective dreams' change reality, and the psychiatrist who exploits them. Tamir opens the episode by reading its jellyfish passage ('what will the Mind do, each morning, waking?') and later summarizes the plot as a book about how sleep can reshape waking life.
