The thing that really got to me, was the tie-in between the nature of guilt, and the technological aspect of dream-state exploration. Besides carrying my own baggage of regrets, I've counseled several others through episodes of deep guilt, and one common thread that was always discussed was how such regret can drive you to madness by dominating your subconscious and your dreams, to the point where you literally begin to question what is real and what is a manifestation of your own torment.
