Was it ever explained how Zoe got put in the group of test subjects?
I thought that Zoe was just a receiver, not a sender.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Since, as a high school student, there's no reason for her to have a "pay grade" of any kind?
But it wasn't by paygrade though. Allison said it was a designation for those who have regular work schedules. And the doctor used them because they'd have regular sleep patterns.

Oh, that's right. Nevermind.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yes, IIRC, it was people who had set hours so as not to compromise security, etc.

It's baffling to me why any person in law enforcement would be thought to have regular hours, though.

Yes, I understand that the G3 "paygrade" designated hours, not money. (In which case I'd also quibble that the Carter shouldn't have been on that list either since we've seen on the show that he gets called upon at all hours day or night.)
My point was that Zoe, a minor, wouldn't have had any sort of GD designation since she's a student and not an employee with a contract. (But as Tom pointed out, as a dream-recipient only, she wasn't actually in the study, which I'd forgotten.)

...But I just remembered the argument Zoe was having with her schoolmate. One of them had to have been a sender.

Huh. Okay, that's just confusing then.
I vote handwave.

They mentioned the teacher knowing about the dream too... maybe they're the one that's on GD's payroll?

The teacher could have been the sender but didn't realize it. Jo didn't realize she was the sender and not Fargo until she started feeling bad.
Maybe the teacher was having some dream about Zoe cheating because she expects her to, having a "normal" parent.
I have seriously bizarre dreams all the time that throw all kinds of memories, experiences, and expectations into a blender and then weirdo mash up dreams come out.
