“We are playing back to you the dream you had during last night’s rest period, and we would like to hear you comment on its meaning. You are under no obligation to speak, of course, but if you choose to remain silent, we will be within the State’s rights to initiate forced mood manipulation procedures. We are confident you understand this, and that the State is intervening in your dreams on your behalf, out of natural concern for your wellbeing and for the harmony of your sector colleagues, Numbers BJ-2040 to BM-3460. It is for the benefit of all that nightmares such as yours are not experienced during rest periods. So, BK-5671, can you explain your dream to us please?”
