The line I'm trying to understand is when Dr. Lecter asks Will Graham if he dreams much (in the scene where he's about to read the case file). It appears to be out of context but for a second upon rewatching it, it fit in almost perfectly. I was just wondering what you thought, how it fits into the scene. He asks it again in his letter to Graham, or he mentions dreams somehow.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with Graham's ability to visualize, to tap into the criminal mind (like when he's watching the house from the tree, looking through Dollarhyde's POV), and dreams have a way of reflecting how we see the world onto a field of personalized subjectivity? I don't know what I'm talking about and welcome flaming, btw, just keep it on topic because I wanna figure this shit out.

once he reads the case file, if he does dream, his dreams will be nightmares?

It might help to read the book.
I'm not being a smartass. It's a decent book.
