How... are the dreams?

I used to be able to here, I used to hear things that I couldn't remember, but now there's nothing.

...It bothers me.

[waterproofed]

What are you talking about? I still have dreams.

[heliotroping]

Do you remember them? Like... If there's someone you know talking to you... but you don't remember what they were saying...?

[waterproofed]

Sure, I remember them, but they're really surreal, and it's usually about stuff that's going on in Paradisa.

[heliotroping]

...That's very different than what I used to dream of.

[waterproofed]

What were yours like?

[heliotroping]

I don't think they were about anything special. It was... peaceful and there was always a comforting voice.... Usually my brother's.

[waterproofed]

Uh, yeah, not the same at all.

[heliotroping]

Huh.. I was sure it was the same in the past...

[waterproofed]

Dreams change all the time.

[heliotroping]

I don't think they're supposed to disappear all together...

[waterproofed]

Maybe you just don't remember them. A lot of people don't. I only remember mine 'cause they're so vivid.

[heliotroping]

I know I'd feel a sensation...!

[a deep breath]

But you're right.... I'm probably being paranoid...

[Percy thinks the guy's over-reacting, but then realizes he'd feel the same way if he didn't have his clairvoyant dreams]

Worrying about it won't make them come back, either. Just relax and you'll probably get them back eventually.

[heliotroping]

I wish I could relax. I've been here long enough to worry about not worrying.

[waterproofed]

Yeah? How long have you been here?

[heliotroping]

Six and a half years...

[waterproofed]

So you've been here as long as Allen, just about.

[heliotroping]

He came a month after I did...

[waterproofed]

You should ask him about the dreams, then! If you guys are from the same time, shouldn't you be experiencing similar stuff?

[heliotroping]

Yeah, but I thought it would be better if I asked more people... Like a better datapool...?

[waterproofed]

Oh. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

[heliotroping]

I don't want to jump to conclusions from two answers after all...
