Okay, so in this section, we witness another dream about teeth. First, Hal had a nightmare about losing his teeth (449), and now Joelle on 723-724 worries obsessively about hers and has a dream about going to the dentist. Additionally, James had also made a movie called "Fun With Teeth" (987) about a dentist performing unanesthetized root canals on patients. I remember hearing that the most common dreams are about flying, falling, or losing teeth. I thought this was interesting, so I looked it up online: "This classic dream has a number of interpretations. It can literally mean that you are frightened of losing your teeth. It can show the beginning of a new phase of life just as we lose our teeth when we pass from early childhood and head towards adulthood. You may be worried about your self image or the dream may signify unexpressed anxiety."

I liked the part that starts on page 536, in which for a paragraph or two, the narrative is in the form of a film. Slothrop says "Springer, this ain't the fucking'movies now," to which Springer prophetically replies: "Not yet. Maybe not quite yet. You'd better enjoy it while you can. Someday, when the film is fast enough, the equipment pocket-size and burdenless and selling at peoples prices, the lights and booms no longer necessary, then...then..." At this point, the novel is starting to look towards the future; here is talk of the future of movies. Enzian is looking to the future of the Zone Hereros and his vision of a text, and a search that will require more Zone Hereros, not less.
