Since the last blog post, I've finished the book and it was extremely weird. Orr has realized the antagonist role Dr.Haber plays and has started to grow as a character. George, after dreaming away 6 billion people, decided that Haber obviously has malicious intentions but is too afraid of his own dreams so he continues going to therapy sessions. In an attempt to fix everything and ditch Haber, he retreats to a remote cabin where Heather tries to hypnotize him and get him to dream about a better Haber. He ends up dreaming an entire race of angry aliens into existence that want to go to war with the humans but at the last moment he dreams of peace. Now aliens live in the community as if they always have and he sits around listening to Beatles music. This book loosely reminds me of a book called The Bone Witch because the main character acts similarly to George. They both have a nonchalant, stick to themselves kind of attitude and they both think they don't deserve the gifts they've been given. If I had to compare a character in this book to one in real life, I'd probably compare Heather (the lawyer girlfriend) with my mom because they have the same personality. They both don't believe in something until they see definitive proof and they both bully the people close to them to show affection.

Do you think a movie that could relate to the six million people being dreamed away could be the infinity war? Like how George Orr dreamed away 6 million people, Thanos with the snap of his finger took away half of the earths population. Let me know whatcha think :).
