I can't help but think that even the violent video games make their way into her dreamlife
I hadn't actually thought of that, but it's a nice (well, for certain values of nice) interpretation. I thought of the video game scenes more as an indication of how the "normal" Slayers have it easy - that this is as difficult as it gets for them, that it's all Mortal Kombat as opposed to mortal combat (at least from Dana's horizon).
If that's true, though, then every slayer's walk through a field of wildflowers would also register, right?
Maybe it should if we're technical, and maybe it will eventually... or maybe that's the "human" side of them, and Dana only gets the Slayer-y bits. *is evil* ;-)
I don't think her life pre-Slayer had much hope of being any better, and like to think that some sense of understanding (internal and external) is the reason the hooks and straps are no longer needed.

True. And I like that idea.
