ABSTRACT
I could not have written this book without dreaming the theory that constructed it. Why has my dream instrument been so essential? I believe it is because my motion as a dreamer is disturbed when I cannot read the surfaces on which I am moving. These surfaces have huge bifurcations where the forces run in opposite directions, like the steep gradients between cold and warm fronts that let loose tornadoes. As Riemann (cited in Kaku, 1994, p. 36) put it, we are like bookworms moving across a sheet of paper, and suddenly come to where it is crumpled up into a high ridge. On that high ridge we will be subject to enormous forces. If we are not ready for such forces, we will be very disturbed by their sudden arrival, or, more exactly, by our sudden arrival to where they are placed.
