Yeah... So glad I don't dream.

Dreams are part of what keep us sane. If you don't dream, you go mad.

I don't suppose you've met a vampire before?

Of course I haven't. Vampires don't exist.

Do you have a history of psychotropic medication?

[Part of her would like to know how he'd explain her lack of heartbeat and breathing.]

No, I haven't.

Perhaps you should. How long has it been since you last dreamt? Or, perhaps, you simply don't remember your dreams.

Lucky you!

Well... I don't exactly sleep, but go, well, dormant I suppose, during the day.

How ... odd. Does that mean you need lots of coffee to stay awake?

Not really. I can stay up if I wanted to, but I'd be left very weak after staying up a few days.

Like pretty much everyone else?

Yes, exactly. Some things don't change, you know?

Yeah, and why should they. And how do you manage not to dream then? Your mind doesn't wander off when you're resting?

I'm really not sure...

I see ... anyway, it's a useful skill.

Everyone dreams.

Most people actually sleep rather than go dormant during the day. Oh, and have things like a heartbeat, too.

Humans, perhaps. Mortals, beings from Earth. Not everything living has a heart.

You have dreamt before, Faye.

((Her reality's vampires don't dream.))

Sure, when I was mortal.

_{[Vampires don't exist in his reality. He meant her mortal days. >w>'']}

_*nod* Exactly. _{*raises an eyebrow*}

...I swear, I've gotten a bit too used to strangers knowing my name...

I am no stranger.

... I may be now, but there was a time I was not.
