[Her dreams had been unknown to him, save for the glimpses he'd seen in her mind when they had first met. He knew Snoke would have impacted her greatly, just as he had done him for so many years. What he hadn't anticipated was the moment her walls came down and her screams and her pain filled his senses, slamming into his heart like a battering ram.
He'd been laying awake, as he often did, trying to focus his own mind and will himself into his world of dark and fitful nightmares that kept him company, when it happened. He saw her near him so clearly he thought she had somehow appeared in his room. Her emotions - the fear, the anxiety from her memory of Snoke sifting through her mind and discarding thoughts like crumpled bits of paper, was so raw when it hit him that it made his stomach lurch.]
She lets me in now of all times...? Rey. [He says her name and, when he finds her unable to listen to him, he rises from his bed, trying to ignore the sight of her thrashing around in it beside him. He can hear her screams and wails ringing in his ears as he moves, barefoot, to the hall beyond his room. He immediately moves to her room and, when he finds the lock barring him from entering, he rips the door knob free with a gesture that splinters the wood where it had been nailed into the door as he does.]
Rey. [He calls to her, his voice low and soothing.]
