Luna looked back towards Rainbow. "Uh?" "Do you ever have nightmares?" Rainbow repeated a little louder, getting closer to the alicorn. "Do you ever have dreams, for that matter? I mean, I remember the whole Tantabus thing, but that was still different. Do you have regular dreams like normal ponies do?" Luna, who'd stopped walking to wait for Rainbow to catch up to her, seemed to have been caught somewhat off guard by the question. "Not really," she replied once the pegasus was close. Turning to walk once again, she continued, "My connection to dreams means I am always aware of being in one. I'm sure you've noticed something similar ever since becoming my assistant." Rainbow paused to think about it. "Yeah, I guess I have. But I haven't really been trying to have a normal dream after you took me in. Could I still have one if I decided to turn my powers off for a night or something?" Luna thought about it for a moment. "I suppose you might be able to. I could always allow you or force you to, if you were to ask for it, but it might be interesting to see what would happen if you were to try yourself." "And you?" Rainbow asked. "Can you do the same for yourself?" Luna paused again. "I must admit, it has never occurred to me to try. I never saw a point to it. Perhaps it could be interesting to explore such a thing, now that I am no longer alone in my wandering through the dreams of ponies."
