This chapter's epigraph is from a poem by the same name, written in the same style as the epigraph in this chapter. The poem is about a dream healer who cuts the energy of a dream in order to heal it. The dream healer is able to do this because he has a "daunten ability" to do so. The epigraph describes a dream where the dream healer cuts the dream's energy in such a way that it is impossible for the dream to be healed. The scene ends with the dream-healer telling the reader that it would be a shame for him to lose his ability to heal a dream.
