We have to go back to page 4 and boyfriend is a airline pilot and this may be Jakob?

Or it could be a patched up memory fill-in for Jakob.  Jakob strikes me as a nefarious and irresponsible man of leisure, the careless profligate that his father (unnamed as yet) and his brother (Johannes) keep having to clean up apfter so their own operations experiments, company maneuvers, and clandestine fun aren't exposed or ruined.  He doesn't strike me as the sort to take a job as an airline pilot in this decade, and I doubt he could have kept a seat in the cockpit during the glory days of air travel.

  so twist and turn in the story.

So may be a John?
He was or is  dad favorite son

I don't think that Dani is modeled on Sybil.  I think Dani and Dreya are separate hot blonde pilots who caught the eyes of different Kuppler brothers.  Of course, as always, there's a distinct possibility that I'm very, very wrong about that.

I'll try to clear up my thought process on the Harem Night statement.  Harem Night was the point where Claudia received the tax bill, the first time she seemed to feel that 37 Wall merited investigation.  As such, it would seem to be the first point at which she guessed something was amiss.  So, I pegged that as his disappearance point.  It was a little hasty on my part.

Also, if Jakob the Liar is the guy masterminding whatever inspired the "On The Edge" nightmare, he's not sympathetic in the slightest, and I can't see him voluntarily relinquishing The Watch to one of his victims for any purpose whatsoever.  Whoever did that enjoys the power of The Watch too much to part with it at all.

I think Claudia receiving the tax bill was the first she knew of the existence of the apartment. Initially she thought it was the bill for the building she's in - hence her remark that she thought she'd paid it.

Who knows what inspired the nightmare? Perhaps Dani had a cheese sandwich before she went to bed.

I'll agree to the Tax Bill idea, but if that is true, was Claudia then not involved in running the accounts and balances portion of the Harem the year previous.  If not, then who was?

I also agree with the cheese sandwich theory.. but might suggest It was a Velveeta, Cheese Wiz or god forbid Spray Cheese sandwich that caused the nightmare.  That stuff isn't even real cheese!
