+ | [[Cueball]] is screwing with [[Megan]] by pretending to read from a book about a brain worm whose symptoms include specific dreams that she has been having. He is able to guess some of her dreams accurately because it is common to dream about doing something that one often does, but without being in control of the situations. For example, Cueball probably knows that Megan drives a car, so she would dream about trying to drive it but not fitting in the seat or being in the wrong seat to drive, so he tells her that this dream indicates she is infected by worms. In reality, this dream means only than that she drives a car and that she dreams. Megan appears not to realize that he is pranking her and appears to freak out. | ||
− | + | The title text does this with a different dream, in which he relies on his knowledge that she has teeth to guess that she also has dreams about losing her teeth. Again, these dreams indicate only that she has teeth and dreams, but he says that they indicate the infection is spreading. | |

Signs of infection include dreams about not fitting in your car comfortably, driving from the backseat, or veering all over the road. | :Cueball: Weird-this parasitic worm infects the brain, damaging the areas responsible for spatial reasoning in dreams.
