Okay so here's the deal, I ran into one of the staff members emptying the trash from carriage 48 and a whole mess of dream boxes fell out. I mean like, a lot, both the last two days.

Don't know if that's what we smuggled them all in for, but they'd all been used. And the guy was spooked. Apparently the bigger ones cause attacks to the train or whole trains to be pulled into the dream or for the user to be able to pull parts of the dream into reality.

But here's the thing, he also said that a small-scale user could take the box and rewrite parts of reality with it. Pretty cool, right? How many boxes do you think there were? 'Cause we might be here awhile.

Oh, and he also said that you can always tell when something's a living dream, because they don't sleep. No matter how hard a thief tries to get them to. Sounds kinda awful.

Wait wait, before I go, Nynaeve wants me to ask if anyone's heard anything about the herbs or the tools going missing? 'Cause we don't know when those disappeared, right?

I have been tracing the herbs. There are strong traces in Prassenze's room, and Attru's. I'm aiming to try and see if I can learn anything from him.

Interesting to note that a living dream cannot sleep. That makes a certain amount of sense.

I'm sorry, did you say on can identify living dreams by the fact that they don't sleep?

... We have been informed that the staff on the train doesn't sleep.

[ Is altering reality better than messing with time? Technically, yes, but it's still a big problem. Decidedly not 'pretty cool'. ]

You helped to smuggle them in? You didn't even think to question it?

Did he say why a dream thief would try to make a living dream sleep?

[ ...there are many questions about that sentence alone. so he's trying with one. ]

We must avoid sleep, to see who else does.
