Questions.

Does it hurt?

Most people feel a cold point on the forearm, and nothing else. It takes about thirty seconds.

What does it cost?

Nothing today. Your placement, your Waves and your records are paid in REM, from your dreams. How REM works

When can I dream?

Any time of day, for as long as you like. Close your eyes at noon or at midnight.

How long does a Wave last?

Dream Wave X.3 is a film thinner than skin. It runs on you, and after about a month it leaves with your skin and dissolves, leaving nothing behind. Your dreams were never in it: they travel live. Put on the next one at home, by hand, in a few seconds. Or let Dream Bot Z.2 do it while you sleep.

How do I wake up?

Close your eyes inside the dream, and open them here. From 2031, Dream Bot Z.3 Cradle will decide for you. Tell it when, or don’t.

Can the Deck be removed?

The Deck is designed to stay. It has no battery, and it lasts a lifetime.

Who looks after my body while I dream?

If you dream for long, a Dream Bot does. It feeds you, washes you and turns you, so you never have to wake up. Dream Bot Z.2

What do I need to bring?

Nothing. Not even your name.

Dream Wave X.3, a clear round film floating on black, the symbol printed in white at its centre and a rainbow ring near its edge.

Already placed?

Put on your next Wave at home, about once a month.

  1. The old Wave is already gone. It left with your skin; the Deck stays where it is.
  2. Peel the new Wave from its liner and lay it on your forearm, over the Deck.
  3. Press for a few seconds. One pulse tells you it found the Deck. Your records are waiting.
