You probably didn't notice this on mobile, but this is google books. The poorly rendered text is due to it being an actual scan of some book. What exactly is being linked to here is unclear though. The passage isn't too concrete on getting a point across...

The short and sweet version (and heavily paraphrased) version is:

If you're tired in the afternoon, you only need a literal moment of sleep to feel revived. You can do this by sitting in a chair, holding something in your hand (a key, in this book), palm down, with something beneath it on the floor (a plate, in this book) that will create some sound when hit. The instant you fall asleep, you drop the item onto the the thing on the floor, it wakes you up, you feel energized.

thank you for that concise explanation. i love Dali's flowery language but its awful for actually getting a point across.

that explains the text quality, but why disable zooming?
