The Seven Last Days - Volume III: The Productions of Time. The Seven Last Days, #3

A sculptor returns from a tired bitter war to Paris - or a dream of Paris - and the glimpsing visions of the actress Argent de Resznay. But then she disappears and in her memory he begins to sculpt her reality. The government, meanwhile, prepares a device that will shut down the unconscious mind - and with it not only all resistance to authority, but any vestige of the creative spirit in humanity.
The sculpted reality of Argent may be the Goddess Who can stop this, or it may be another tool in the hands of totalitarianism. The third volume in the monumental heptology "The Seven Last Days".
