Instructions for Dream Dialling
You have reached the Voice Mail of the Soul -
if you wish to be connected to the dream
press the button marked ‘Anxiety’;
if you require the services of ‘The Moral
Monitor’, or desire to be told ‘A Fable
of the Future’, touch the ‘Integration tab’;
if ‘Apocalypse’, ‘Arcadia’, or ‘Anomy’
are in your remit, return to the switchboard
and seek further assistance; if, instead,
you subscribe to ‘Erotopia’ or ‘Psychothesia’
key in the number on your Member’s Card;
if you are entitled to a rebate on the ‘Ordinary’,
the ‘Commonplace’ or have been designated ‘Everyday’,
ignore all other instructions and follow guidelines
in the official ‘Theophrastian Handbook’;
otherwise ask to be put through either
to ‘Contingency’ or ‘Insomnia’.
