In the first chapter, just after Dream is captured in 1917 by Roderick Burgess, several cases of dream disorders happen around the world, which later are named "encephalitis lethargica". This is historically accurate: from 1917 to 1928, in UK and in other parts of the world people suffered diverse dream disorders. The symptoms were high fever, headache, lethargy, sore throat, double vision, delayed physical and mental response, sleep inversion and even catatonia. If the case was severe enough, patients might enter a coma-like state. It was first named as encephalitis lethargica in 1917 by Austrian neurologist Dr. Constantin von Economo. The cause of the disease never was found.
