Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's plan in Part 1 to suppress Tegan's dream-state brainwaves (via the hypnosis device) foreshadows the Great Crystal's role in Part 2 as a device to counter the Mara's mental energy. Both events revolve around manipulating or harnessing brainwaves/Mental energy to halt the Mara."

The longer arc this connection carries
This connection links the Doctor's technological intervention (hypnosis) with the ancient artifact (Great Crystal), suggesting a consistent theme: tools to conquer psychological threats. It sets up Part 2's climax where science and myth converge.
