In the Cloudbusting video KaTe picks up a book from The Scientist's pocket, looks at it, and then puts it back in the pocket again. I managed to see the title: "The Book of Dreams" (?), but failed to identify the author. Now, is there anyone out there who could confirm the title and add the author? Perhaps YOU even know if it's a Real book, or one made of clouds... In LUX, andreas

"Cloudbusting" was based on this book; hence its appearance in the video. "The Scientist", as you called him, is Wilhelm Reich; Kate plays Peter in the video. A couple of months ago there was a lot of discussion of this song, so I'm not going to repeat it. Kate has described the story line in many interviews.
