My roommate might be concerned, if I tried to stay the whole night...I'd like not to leave him completely alone.
[even if her head was hurting her to the point of tears, she'd refuse to leave Subaru. thankfully, it's not that bad - even if her blood pressure does seem a little high for now. stress, really.]
...Are you supposed to be in control of your dreams?
[the very idea is foreign to her, given away by her questioning tone.]
Your roommate now... hm, who is that? I may be able to miracle work and have them here too if it'd help you sleep properly.
[ that's not a problem, but he does loathe when there's extra people to bother his work. luckily, to get to the root of helena's problem, he'll have to see what happens and so that added body is needed. with the blood pressure number given for one arm, he undoes the cuff to wrap it around her second to check what number comes from that. ]
Please stand for me. [ ... ] You can be in control of them, have you ever heard of "Lucid Dreaming", Miss Helena? It occurs doing REM sleep.
[ he'll proceed to explain rapid eye movement, giving her an idea of how it accords in both birds and mammals. ]
In "Lucid Dreaming", you can control actions and the environment because you're aware that you're dreaming. It's able to help those who often suffer from reoccurring nightmares and PTSD.
[she follows instruction dutifully, her expression growing more thoughtful as he talks about lucid dreaming. it's a nice concept, and she wants it - if it can ease the fears that lurk around her heart like mud on a lakebed, it would be wonderful.]
How do you do it? How do you become aware of your dreams?
Would you like to try a sort of mental exercise? It's called Reality testing, and or checking. It increases metacognition by training your mind to notice your own awareness.
[ first she has to train herself to know what is reality around her, and then she can find the difference between her dreams and actuality. ]
It's an exciting trick, and it'll help you control the direction of your dreams... because the moment you're aware it's a dream, then it plays by your whims.
