Machinery, Take Thy Dream

A young man finds himself on the borderline of lunacy and obsessiveness with the idea of recording dreams. Experiments with his crude machinery on people have not ended well, so he has hid himself in a small town so that he might continue his experiments. But how will he get new subjects since his funds have run low? He plays with the idea of finding a woman to seduce and woo. Will he be able to perform his experiment on a woman infatuated with him? Will he lose all trace of his humanity?
