It's clear from Jesse's persistence, and his level of specificity, that he must have some idea of what's been going on. Probably a better one than Ned has, all things considered. He reminds himself of what Jesse said a few days ago, that he'd have Ned's back if there was any trouble, and he thinks maybe it will be alright if he tells the truth.

"You could say that."

After what Jesse said about not sleeping well for months it's a little easier for him to talk about this. "I mean I've always had nightmares," he says, quietly, matter-of-factly. It's clear that he doesn't just mean your run-of-the-mill, regular amount of bad dreams.

Ned rubs a hand along the back of his neck, not looking at Jesse. "But this was different." For one thing, Ned can recall the details of his dream in vivid clarity. They did not fade into a haze of unspecified terror, the way many of them did, after an hour or two. The dream he'd had two nights ago remains crystal clear in his mind.

He's managed to him himself from sleeping long enough to dream since then, but Jesse is right: it's starting to take a toll on him. He probably wouldn't have made it this long, to be honest, if it weren't for his weird, unspecified vitality powers.
