pg. 13 "They start the fog machine again and it's snowing down cold and white all over me like skim milk, so thick I might be even able to hide in it if they didn't have a hold of me..."
pg. 71 " About the only time we get any letup from this time control is in the fog; then time doesn't mean anything. It's lost in the fog, like everything else. (They haven't really fogged the place full force all day today, not since McMurphy came in. I bet he'd yell like a bull if they fogged it."

The fog represents the fact that the patients in the hospital, due to Nurse Ratched's conformation tactics, are shielded from the outside world and hidden from the truth about life up until MacMurphy comes and begins to slowly take them out. The fog masks everything around them, making them blind to the truths outside of the ward and forces the men within it into being content with their current lives due to ignorance of anything better.
