The chapter opens with a splash of water, followed by a description of the scene. The narrator explains that the water is full of moss, which makes it easy to slip and fall. He asks the reader if he has seen his tentacles before, and the reader replies that he has, but that he cannot see them now because of the long-term effects of the dream. He wonders if the tentacles are behind his back, and wonders if they are the same ones behind his own back, which made him feel familiar with the dream powers of the demon. He then asks if he can squeeze the snakes inside, but the reader responds that he can still feel the snake's tentacles. He also wonders if it makes him feel unfamiliar when he suddenly cannot see the tentacles, as the effects of his dream are long-lasting. He says that he often flies out at night in search of someone to eat his dreams, and that he will take the reader with him when he flies at night. He tells the reader that the fog ahead is thick and that they are almost at the house of the Sorceress. When the narrator and his mother went to find the sorceresses house, they also had to pass through the fog to get to the house. The fog has gotten thicker and thicker, so the narrator thinks that his mother probably used magic to prevent the people from finding the house easily.
