After he came home to the last seccion he was tired, he was tried of William using him. He did not want William to have to power of changing reality because he had him at his mercy. George wanted to not have dreams or to get better about not having effective dreams, but William kept of making him change reality. Once he finally went in for another session he noticed all anyone talked about was the war in the middle east, and how bad it is going. When George finally got to William office they argued about how no one has the right to change reality and mess with the way of things. William on the other hand did not admit to knowing about this reality change but instead injected him and put him to bed. He made him dream about peace, but George dreamed about ending the war but starting a galactic war with aliens. That made them get into a bigger argument, and George walking out.
A similarite I see between our world and the book is war, in the book they are fighting aliens/middle east, and we have troops out fighting in the middle east as well.One of the central themes in the book Lathe of Heaven is power, that is shown with William he thinks he rule the world with all of the power he has but he just puts the world in danger. Then George on the other hand does not want to have power, that just means that it is not enough to have power but knowing how to use it. The book was really good, it had an amazing message. Yes I would highly recommend this book. This book is really cool because it is so much like our world, it's like the future of our world. Only hopefully in the future no one will be able to change reality. This book remind me on how fast our world is changing for better or for worse. I will comment on Leslie's blog and Angeli's blog.

The similarity you brought up between the book and our world is sadly true. Even though this is a science fiction book that takes place in our world, there are so many realities that stay the same. How do you think we can approach these problems, to solve them?

Why do you think power can not be used to its full extent without knowledge? Is it better to have lots of power but no knowledge of how to use it, or lots of knowledge and wisdom but no power to express it with?
