Speaking of the real world getting into your dreams, I just had a nightmare where a monster was sucking my breath and my scream out. The more terrified I got the more I screamed. And the harder i screamed, the harder it sucked, until I finally couldn't breathe at all. I woke up and found my sleep apnea mask blocking my nose
Regarding the "magbane": "Magbane" is the name given to a certain mutant strain of Paramecium (a single-celled organism of the phylum Protozoa) that's susceptible to magnesium ions; which means that when a magnesium salt is added into a culture of said strain of Paramecium, the growth of the organism is slowed and ultimately stopped. The article goes on to describe methods of isolation of such magnesium-susceptible strains and its difference in behaviour to that of magnesium-resistant strains, and discusses possible reasons for said variation. Also, Mg2+ is pronounced "Mg two plus," meaning magnesium with a net 2+ charge due to loss of 2 electrons.

Smith uses catalepsy again and to great effect in "The Charnel God" a story you're yet to get to.
Yes, one of my favourites!

Lol, nice! Well not nice but you know...
I don't know if it's me, but I found this story, to use one of Smith's favorite words, "mundane." But I liked your discussion and analysis.
Yes, written pretty much to order it seems, but with some deft touches

Excellent, thank you!
