How does Haber remember?

mabe Dr had a way to remember, or his machine help him to retain his last memories. Later in film he perfected his machine to tap into georges dream powers, to harnest it so Dr. Haber can use for himself.

To me Things that happen in dreams is reflection of reality, and when you dream it, its already there in your memory, Awake your brain records it when your awake, And when you dream, your brain uses what is recorded and makes its own reality when dreaming. Also When george dreams, and changes reality, it changes the phisical, but the reality of past still remanes in the conscience or sub-conscience, some people surpress it, specially the bad memories. So Margaret on other hand was very frightened after george mention the plague so she surpressed it. Dr. Haber, hes an expert on dreams and understands dreams and he forces himself to remember, he wasnt scared but upset at george and he didnt surpress it, so he remebers.

Hmmm, sadly, no one has answered this yet in the past 2 years. I have posted similar questions of my own. Haber should be like everyone else and NOT remember the changes George is causing. But Haber DOES remember. So the question remains..How??

LargeStuffed....I just read the book, and the answer to your question is that Haber can remember because he is in the same room as George. The effective dreams are remembered by anyone near George. That is not clear at all in the movie, but made very clear in the book.

I always understood it as an issue of proximity to George.

In the first session, Haber had the revised memory of Tammany Hall being the portrait, but when George reminded him of the picture of Mount Hood, he seemed to recall, and there's a momentary expression of confusion, since he apparently remembered both. He couldn't be certain, so he experimented in the following session, with the weather. Mrs Crouch, the secretary, noticed the change as well, since she was evidently close enough to the session when the dream took place.

Anyone sitting in on the session would share both the revised memory and a fading memory of how it used to be, something that grew less distinct, like awakening from a dream and gradually losing the memory of it. This was how Heather LeLache remembered the world before the Plague. In your post, you called her Margaret? But she did remember - it's just that the effect of competing memories was extremely disorienting. Although she seemed to accept the change, Haber could not take any chances. She had seen a demonstration of the power of George's dreams, and it is not surprising that, once Haber had fuller control over George, Heather inexplicably ceased to exist, probably at Haber's request.

You'll notice that after the Plague, Haber took care to send Mrs Crouch away on a petty research errand, not so much because he needed the data, but because he needed her further away from the epicenter of the effective dream, so that Mrs Crouch would not experience the memory of previous reality.
