Client seems to have accessed an area of his subconscious that allows him to "remember" or extrapolate answers to questions that are plaguing him in his waking life. Though his dreams are not immediately harmful or impairing to his self, partner or work, they are curious to me. On a small scale, this is witnessed in an anecdote: client's son does not like the smell of the laundry because his deceased mother washed clothes differently. Client did not understand how this was possible, until by accessing a dream, he was able to identify that his wife used to add fabric softener to the laundry cycle.
In a more pragmatic sense, client is able to look at the evidence presented to him in a case and, through his subconscious dream state, recognizes details that are important and may not be readily apparent to other trained detectives (e.g., a suspicious suspect by his size or name or an alibi that seems false). At the moment, there seems to be usefulness to this skill, much like the Ancient Greeks and even scientists such as Mendeleev claimed to cultivate. I would like him to explore it more, though ultimately, I would like to help alleviate the burden of his fractured psyche.
