Reviews for In Dreams
Oh, yes, that's a really clever idea - to have her make a container for his soul subconsciously, while collecting the memories. It enables you to set this up without departing from the canon scene in any way.
I have read this before. It's a wonderful story.
Thank you ,for a beautiful, moving story, it has been a joy to read. 
It is good that Draco thought enough of Severus, to keep his body safe. Now Severus and Hermione, have a chance to be together.
Severus has a puzzle to solve, and Hermione is on a rescue mission. the wedding, or bonding, was perfect.
I hope the book doesn't take offence, at being droped.
Excellent story. I enjoyed it so much. An amazing idea and wonderfully executed.
*sniffle* I loved it!
That was a beautiful story. I am in awe of your mastery of the English language.
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
Thank you so much -- I'm delighted you enjoyed it. That was my first piece of fiction, actually :)
M you did such a wonderful job of describing their souls. I felt like I could really see it in my mind’s eye. Well done, this was a wonderful story and it is certainly in the sex magic quiz! Now I just have to finish it!!
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
*squee. Thank you! :D Thanks for all your great work with quizzes. And *squishes you for your reviews :)
How disconcerting that must be to see his person but with none of the animation. This is a really well done story, one of the best of the exchange!
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
I would imagine that Hermione was so torn -- It was her Severus, and yet, not. *hugs you for your comments about the story. There were so many outstanding stories in the exchange, I'm thrilled that you would count this among the best ones.
BINGO there it is the sex magic. Although maybe there is more when they replace his soul? I shall keep going.
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply to these, I forgot they were here! Yes, indeed -- there is the sex magic :D Thanks for your reviews, my dear -- I'm delighted that you enjoyed the reread!
You light up my life
You give me hope to carry onnnnnnnn
Apparently it is my day to break into song.Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
Glad that the story inspires song :D It did for me!
“Bed, we were headed for a bed…” he murmured. I adore how Severus got distracted…
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
*grins... I did, too :D *gets distracted by Severus getting distracted....
Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you….Are you singing that song in your head with me?
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
Indeed I am :D
I am not surprised that Hermione has many issues bottled up from the final battle. Doctor heal they self. Have I mentioned I am enjoying the reread?
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
She would have to be impacted by the war -- and it's so painful to try to be helping others when you are traumatized, too. I'm delighted that you are rereading (and reviewing) and that you're enjoying it a second time! *squeee
Oh Snape's pain is so fresh! But something has changed this time. Hermione is on the job ((insert uplifting music)) she will save the day!!!
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
He is feeling so raw -- and has been alone in many ways for so very long. Hermione is on the job :D Love the soundtrack! Thanks for reading and reviewing this again!
Yay, the potion worked! Since this is the end, I will pretend that they live happily ever after together. I wonder what has happened to the book. Was it ever returned to the person Hermione borrowed it from? Anyway, this was a lovely fic. I'm glad that both of them were able to see into the other's soul, not just Hermione into Severus's.
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
Thanks for reviewing! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it -- and yes, the mutuality was really important to me in this fic. So, the fact that Hermione could see Severus and he could see her soul was really critical. I'm thinking about a sequel, so these good questions may yet find answers!
A great ending to a wonderfull story!Could'nt have asked for more.

What a lovely ending, it's so nice that they found each other and neither has to be alone again.

Thank you, Sinbad. I appreciate your reviews. I'm glad that you enjoyed the story.
Absolutely beautiful! Irish BUt it cries for a sequel
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
Thank you! Ooh, sequel. Hmmm... maybe at some point!
But where is his body? It has been so long, does it take longer for a wizards body to deteriorate? Well done. Itish
Response from shefa (Author of In Dreams)
Good questions!
compellingly written, their souls transcend their physicality liberating them both at the end.
