You thought the point of the story was to find a solution??

No, the point of a story (any story) is to entertain. Watching incompetents
bungling around is NOT entertaining - unless you enjoy being on the rack.
I might have taken an entirely different few of "The Lathe of Heaven" if
there hadn't been such an obvious solution. As it was, any qualities that
the novel may have had were drowned in the agony produced by watching bunglers
at work.
