     I think that the radiation symbol also 
resembles a snow angel.

     Re: Dream theme - Admittedly, many of the 
images and occurences in TP are dream-like.  But 
I doubt that the show is *about* a dream, 
because that would be the ultimate cop-out ("And 
then he woke up.  It was all just a dream.").  I 
prefer to think that the dream logic is a way of 
subverting or circumventing our defense 
mechanisms like dreams do.  I think that this is 
one of the things that allows TP to affect us in 
ways that ordinary reality could not.

     In a way, TP is like a shared lucid dream.  
And we're all on the couch together, trying to 
figure out its meaning.
