[She sounds thoughtful, and not really all that freaked out]

I thought you weren't supposed to realize that it was a dream while you were... well. Dreaming.

That's true, though in some cases you are do realize you are in a dream. It's called lucid dreaming and you can even control the way the dreams will turn out.

[Lemony realizes he's going on a tangent]

Of course this isn't really a dream, if that is what you are referring to.

[onlyacasson]

I've never had a lucid dream though, myself.

[mysilenceknot]

Neither have I.
I tend to have nightmares.

[onlyacasson]

So does my brother, sometimes.

[mysilenceknot]

They are rather unpleasent. [Understatment of the year...]

Might I ask who I am speaking to?

[onlyacasson]

... Saffy. My name's Saffron.

[mysilenceknot]

A pleasure to meet you Saffron, my name is Lemony Snicket.

[onlyacasson]

Very nice to meet you.

[Muttered]

Even though you're just a dream person.

[mysilenceknot]

Uh, I'm afraid you're still a little confused.
This isn't a dream, as odd as that may seem.

[onlyacasson]

Well, of course you have to say that. You're in it!

[mysilenceknot]

...
[A pause, then a rare chuckle]

You have me there. Would there be anyway I could convince you that you are not dreaming?

[onlyacasson]

Of course not. Nearly anything can happen in dreams.

[mysilenceknot]

I see.

Have you tried pinching yourself? That seems to be the standered response if one believes they're in a dream.

[onlyacasson]

I've heard that doesn't really work.

[mysilenceknot]

It might not, but then again it might. After all, you shouldn't be able to feel physical pain in dreams.

[onlyacasson]

Shouldn't you? Even if it only exists in your mind.
