[Here you go, Watanuki. Whole and smudge-free.]

I probably have, but things aren't always so well-defined, you know? Dreams are highly dependent on the sleeper's state of mind, so there's a great deal of subjectivity involved. In a tailor's dream, for example, you might be able to touch and feel the textiles they're working on to a hyperrealistic degree, whereas that same tailor might see themselves walking in a market and just know what a fruit stall is without much detail to it.

[Incidentally, that's why the priest's dream from last night is detailed: that man's spent plenty of time in that room in the waking world. Not that Watanuki remembers it!]

In any case, as an outsider peeking in, I still end up being more drawn to things that stand out in the dream. That's especially true if the sleeper's emotions are involved.
