: Re: Writing a non-lucid dream In a third-person novel I am writing, one of the characters has a very significant dream that I would like to transcribe. The problem is, I would like to focus on

Of the two writing samples, I found the first one terribly confusing, and the second one much clearer. If you do want to give a sense of how Rhea reacts to the dream while she is experiencing it, you should stick to what she is aware of at any given moment.

"Feeling better, son?" Dr Evans asks patronizingly, and Rhea braces for a violent response. Surprisingly, Colton responds instead with a tense nod. How can he stand to have that man call him "son"?
Only later, after she awakes, will Rhea understand that this is how Dr. Evans imagines it will be once he has the kids under his control.
