A terrific story, with a combination of sci-fi science, almost time-travel like consequences, and the natural mysticism surrounding dreams. Sci-fi enough to include aliens, but still keeping that magical realism of reality-altering dreams. I really enjoyed Orr's character, who wouldn't be a bit afraid of their own gift and try to keep it under wraps? I guess only Dr. Harber, the perfect symbolism for people that consider that ends justify the means, no matter how many horrible consequences can come of it.
Ursula Le Guin was truly ahead of her time. On to her next book!
