A Perissodactyla would be very much able to get inside their heads this way! The dream bubbles... they don't show anything promising. It's dark, too dark to see much detail, and in a way that eyes could never adjust to- even if one was possessed of an excellent nightvision. It's like the world itself is restricting sight, squeezing it to its most minimal in the way that breath might be crushed out of a throat. What remains is a pulsing atmosphere, a slow throb in all directions in a deep red. There's space to move, but it feels claustrophobic all the same; there's wetness in most directions, and to press upon it, it's soft and yielding to a point. To move forward is to have the space that's behind disappear- but when it's all the same, it's not much to lose. But there's no desire to move- that's clear immediately. If there had ever been a desire to escape, it has vanished, and besides the Perissodactyla, there's no 'person' in the dream, no individual identity. There's voices in the pulsing, and it's hard to tell whether they're hallucinated or not, something that's been dreamed up for the sake of company. An insane company, but it's there, an utter misery lining the viscera of the bubble. Nothing sensible is being said, it's all echoes of the kinds of things that are being said out loud, muffled through layers of organs. There's a pervasive sense of loss, something that's torn to shreds what had once been an identity, and has been replaced with more pain. Every patient's dream bubble follows the same pattern. Each is experiencing the same thing, solitary cells layered atop one another, their guilt shared through the throbbing of the walls. (As an extra note, Spectrals would also be able to involve themselves in their dreams in some way, though at much greater danger and more cost to themselves. What they would 'see' would be similar, but they would be stuck inside of it, with a greater chance of being overwhelmed and trapped.)
