Terrance, if you say Dixon is pregnant with Mason's child, that's good
enough for me, so be it.  When do you plan  the baby shower?

Dixon seems to be visited with enlightenment not unlike that which is
described by participants in ayahuasca ceremonies (bottom of page 433, top
of 434)?  Hint:   "the Creature in the Tank regarded me with a _personal
stare_"  might be read as an allusion to the snake presence noted in so
many of these experiences by Jerome Narby  in his book _The Cosmic Serpent
: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge_.  (The serpent anticipates the Lambton
Worm, too.)

" This was 'The Death Vine' at its most spellbindingly seductive- a crowned
serpent on the universal world tree of shamanic religiosities. "
