George Orr
George Orr – the central character of the book. He works as a draftsman; one day after a nuclear disaster he discovers that his dreams, called later effective dreams, change reality itself. And from the very beginning other characters regard him to be a psycho, a person without dignity, one who is characterless and weak. But George is a dynamic character: gradually weakness changes into earnest and awareness. Feeble out, George turns to be a person of great understanding and strength, both Heather and Haber admit it. Heather and Haber have features completely different to George’s, but Heather becomes George’s wife, when Haber opposes George. Also the kindness of George never let him regard Haber to be his enemy – George just tries to prevent his hasty steps.
William Haber
William Haber – a psychiatrist, appointed to treat George’s psychosis. He also provides experimental investigations of people’s dreams, and when he understands what is the depth of George’s mind he wants to use it for his benefit. He is not afraid of changing reality, acquitting all negative consequences by the noble aim of world salvation. He neglect lives and fates. Haber starts as a curious doctor and ends as a mad. He couldn’t esteem the situation and act right. George becomes a guinea pig for him, and miss Lelache has no importance at all. Still neither George nor author convict Haber – so that rather a kind of sympathy to the character appears.
Heather Lelache
Heather Lelache – a lawyer, poisonous, hard, shiny, who is ready to crush everyone and everything if needed; an embodiment of juridical merciless, which she believes herself. She is dark-skinned, but her appearance doesn't give rise to much trouble. On the contrary – she quickly becomes an object of George’s liking. Heather also was caught with the inner strength of George. After their meeting she helps him being his faithful friend and his beloved woman. Heather is sincere, able for understanding and support.
