She's talked on many occasions about reading other people. Friends, teachers (a real temptation to be resisted while taking tests, she said), even strangers... I think. I'll have to ask on that last one again. She even has had one strange instance where she and a friend of ours were in some way tightly linked telepathically for a moment and a small part of him (the friend) remained "in" herself afterwards. Those are her words (approximately), not mine, as I was not there for that instance. I would add, however, that the person I see through her eyes has been just slightly different since then, so it makes sense to me.
yeah, did I mention that I read eyes?
As for dream control... eh. I've noted to her that she still was able to exercise dream control when she told a DC "come along with me". It was more of a social sort of dream control, but it still worked.
Personally, I think her lack of dream control is not all just from her being wired REALLY weirdly, but also somewhat from her bad experiences with demon(s), her constant protection from Zeke, and a lack of thinking she can or trying to exercise control in the first place.
If you really want to get a shock, you'd want the other friend (the one I mentioned just above) to get on here and post about it. I've been nagging him for years (literally. Since I joined) to get an account, but all he's done is get one and not use it - so as to troll me. :P
Oh well.
