when dreaming tesla will often find herself in the place of the victims, especially during murder cases, unable to speak or do anything throughout the event; these happens as a result of an unrelenting subconscious, filing away her suspicions into her deep psyche only for them to make resurgence during her REM cycle, and have no actual bearing on the real world. they're not premonitions by any means and can be woefully inaccurate especially if she's just started the case and doesn't have a solid grasp on what could've happened yet, still, it's incredibly jarring.
oh also! she has no physical preference between men and women but feels more comfortable dating women!
