Thanks for the review!

When exactly had it started? How many dreams have come true since then? Have we seen/will we see them?
I'm not sure yet
None
One before the end of the first book :D

Is it bad that I want more graphic and prolonged description of the dreams and the horror and everything? O_O For angst.
It's not bad but it's hard for me to do into too many details; the more Kat can be certain of, the more she can try to avoid the situation. So it has to be a little vague :)

A horrible tragedy? Will Kat kill someone? The someone who will not return from the Tour, perhaps? Or is it the blood of her people on her hands? That last, metaphorical, one hadn't even occurred to me, so that's very interesting! But sure, any of these could be the meaning. I know how it ends (something I know! Will wonders never cease!) but I want to build up to it :D

BTW that's how I imagined Kat, too! :D
Yay! Honor just isn't right but Kat's a good likeness so it's enough for now.

In my head it kind of sounded like "also we both want each other most of the time so you see how this might be difficult, lying in bed together, doing nothing".
Am I reading it wrong? O_O
Okay, this ties in with your earlier thought that Kat and Honor are regularly having sex which is not the case.
That's a valid reading, that he might find it trying to be chaste rather than having sex, but I didn’t actually intend for that. He doesn't want to disappoint her, but Honor is more introverted than Kat or Cal (especially Cal!) and while he can handle being around people, he really values some alone time. And he never gets it. He's reading, and he has to intervene because Cal and Tara are bickering. He's praying and he has to go deal with the stablemaster. He's sleeping and Kat wants to share his bed. So he's mostly frustrated about that.
The idea that Kat/Honor must be sleeping together just because of mutual attraction and bed sharing speaks to how sex is such an intrusive part of our world. How can anyone not have sex under these circumstances? Which is pretty sad.
Kat also shares Cal's bed and he, who sleeps with lots of people, is just as horrifed as Kat is whenever someone suggests they're having sex; like he can't control himself, and is it just because he's a hawk (ie bisexual) and that's just disgusting – no, not you, Kat, them and their dirty minds.

There is a planned scene where MacBride is sleeping and sexually active with Kat and he talks to her about her bed sharing with Cal and Honor, and perhaps that makes things clearer. And time for more talk about the continent not falling into the sea if she did consummate her relationship with Honor. But we don't meet MacBride until about halfway through the Tour. So there may be a need for an earlier scene where adolescent Kat lays down the law about this; she can sleep chastely or otherwise with whoever she wants to, because she's pretty damn sure her aged father wasn't a virgin when he married Kat's mother so late in his life! And if he could "sleep around" than so can she, or is this another Citadel double standard? :D
