I always have nightmares. I'm having one now.

Well I had some as a child, but never since.

Most of my childhood nightmares seemed to involve runaway giant motorised toys or dark rooms that could not be lit, even if I turned on the lights. Learn from that what you will!
I really think that Marigold's dreams were pure, unalloyed anxiety; not just anxiety about her relationship with Dale but also about motherhood. On a certain level, I do think she wants to be a mother but Hannelore, the archetype of a difficult-to-maintain person in the QC universe, expresses her fears that she is not up to the challenge.

You are referring to #1818. Not one of Marten's finer moments, but Faye defused him quite effectively.
Of course, the current mirror situation will not play the same way. If Faye makes a move on Marten (and I doubt it), I guess Marten will calm her down gently. They may cuddle and talk for a while, as best friends. But she needs help to get over this. I do not think the cure is another relationship (and by all means, keep her away from Sven!), and there are no other obvious candidates.
ReindeerFlotilla:
If Jeph keeps to pattern, that scene is over. He keeps cutting away when someone should be pushing Faye about her behavior. When he comes back, the situation is different enough that we must assume it got brushed away, but he's saved the difficult task of showing how they got past it. Seems to me this dream state interlude is another example of skipping the confrontation.

Baby Hanners is cute and all, but what exactly would an anal retentive baby be like?
