Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Data's growing preoccupation with nightmares in Episode 6 (Phantasms) foreshadows the theme of psychological distress and fractured consciousness explored in Episode 7 (Dark Page), where Lwaxana's psyche collapses under telepathic trauma. Both Data's nightmares and Lwaxana's collapse involve unprocessed internal experiences bleeding into reality."
