About This Book

A man plagued by insomnia seeks experimental psychiatric treatment that promises deep, tranquil sleep but instead opens his nights to intrusive sensory bleedings from other minds and places. Ordinary smells and objects materialize into his waking world while spectral visitors and displaced people overlap temporal and probabilistic boundaries, complicating his scientific work and personal peace. Clinical consultations, stronger pills, and attempted explanations only deepen the mystery as the treatment appears to create probability bubbles that let dreamers and patients cross into one another's perceptions. The tale examines perception, olfactory memory, and unintended side effects when sleep and altered states are pharmacologically manipulated.
