[ Conversely, Rhaenyra does dream. What happens in them is hard to distinguish, dreams are more about what she feels instead of images, or sounds, or any other sensory experiences. This night there is the presence of her mother; even though her memories of Aemma (the features of her face, the timbre of her voice) have faded slowly, cruelly, each day, she still knows the feeling of being with her. There's no clear message from the other side, no prophetic clairvoyance that comes throughβthere never has been. She does not think she's ever had a dragon dream, or perhaps she has and is just too rooted in this physical world to understand things that are far less tangible and far more cryptic. All she wakes with is the feeling, the knowing of what it was, but even that fades quickly and is easily forgotten.
One bit that was definitely not a dream: Laena, up and out of bed with gusto. Whether that was because she felt no ill effects of the night before or because she did and was forcing herself to push through, Rhaenyra can't tell.
There's a few more tries of her eyes opening for a moment only to quickly close again and drift off before the angle of the sun is too high and too bright to be ignored, stretching limbs and letting out a sigh, eyes blinking and searching to see if her uncle is still with her somewhere in this room, or if his exit was much more stealthy in comparison to his wife's. ]
