I found a book in the library,
[ hello inquisition. the words are distant, drifting; the accent as obviously foreign as it's peculiarly-intoned. think: extremely chill dracula ]
It describes the interpretation of dreams — I don't believe it belonged to the Circle, the author was no mage.
The perspective is new to me. That a dream of squash might symbolize success is, [ pause ] Unorthodox to my understanding.
I require your assistance: What do you dream of?

Dream interpretation is just for fun. It never really means anything. It's like astrology.

[ not that he's any real details to offer about that. you live on the tevinter border long enough, and you hear things; you live on the border, and the world is careful about what they let you hear. ]
And now we face an ancient Magister. Invented meaning may still matter.

Does your author have anything on environmental influence?

More research?

[ probably not an issue. a pause, and then: ]
An outsider's perspective isn't outside the Fade. To know how others think of it may benefit us, when there's so little precedent to draw upon. The Rifters here act as spirits, but they dream. Have you ever known a spirit to dream?
[ they don't, so far as he knows. only dwell in the fade or beyond it, a binary state. ]

Okay, okay, okay, but-- [an abrupt shift in tone to the Very Serious] --but what if I told you that there was a dream of really tiny pastries, like éclairs, but you know how on the éclair's butt there is a little bit of extra custard where they put the filling in? It looks like a bunny tail? Okay, so in the dream, that was a wing. And the éclairs were flying around, and around, and around, and no one could catch them to eat them, no matter how hard they tried.
What does the book say that dream means.
no subject
[ this all seems very reasonable. good, sound argument, jester. ]
Pastries seem to be, [ flip. flip. that's the sound of pages. ] Jealousy. If the focus is on their hind ends, that might follow.

Worlds like this one, with air to breathe and light and living stars, where there is room for the hives.
It is a promise without need of interpretation but not so far different from waking.
Your books say it is otherwise here on this world. All sleep utterly and most dream without coherence. [an implied "is this so" lurks beneath the words.]
no subject
[ at least that he can remember. which comes first, the sleep or the spell? immaterial. ]
All men sleep. The ferryman claims that fish don't, only swim and swim, until they can't. Did you make the promise?

I never really used to dream about that, but I do here, all the time. Sometimes...more grisly things, too. Like terrible injuries, and I don't really know why.
