There is a theory that telepathic receptivity is increased during REM sleep. It has to do with frontal lobe activity... I've never seen a case this dramatic, but we all know that your brain is wired a little differently than the rest of ours. Add that the river where she crashed is a known source for our favorite green stuff and you have the perfect Smallville cocktail for weirdness.

Interesting theory, Clark.
I know it sounds crazy, but that's what happened.
Now you're saving people in your dreams, too. I bet a shrink would have a field day with that scenario.
Legend has it this sword was forged in the fires of Mount Fuji. The blade can cut through anything. The Katai never took it into battle. They never had to, till the day the strongest Katai turned on his own. One by one, the Katai fell at his hand. Nothing left to lose, the last of the Katai lunged at the warrior with this sword. The blade cut him clean in two. But when the warrior's armor fell away, the Katai saw he wasn't even human. [Lex strikes Clark with the sword, shattering it] Just like you, Clark. See, I've always been honest with you. But it turns out you've been lying to me from the first day I laid eyes on you.
No, Lex, I can explain!
It's too late! The irony is all you had to do was come to me, Clark. I was your friend. I would've protected your secret. I would've protected you. But I couldn't be trusted because I'm a Luthor.
No, that's not it!
I don't care! I'm going to dedicate myself to ensuring the whole world knows who Clark Kent really is. Life as you know it is over.
Well, it's been like an oven outside, so I was thinking we could go swimming at Crater Lake.
Yeah... I really don't think skinny-dipping is a good idea.
Who said anything about skinny-dipping? Maybe in your dreams, Clark.
According to NASA the sun took a direct hit from a comet today, causing one of the biggest solar flares ever to be recorded.
Oh, you sound intrigued.
Actually it's a relief to be researching a cosmic disaster that has nothing to do with me.
I finally found my story.
For some insane reason, it's me. Chloe told me. I don't think it's funny.
Oh, it's not a joke, Clark. I got the facts to back it up.
What kind of facts are those?
The accident, the power lines, your magical appearance as your family tractor drops out of the sky.
I explained that.
"It fell off a truck". That's not an explanation, that's a punch line. I spent the morning combing through police records and newspaper stories. You're Johnny on the Spot, Clark. You're Smallville's own hero on deck.
Trust me, Mr. White, there's nothing special about me.
Oh, that's where you're wrong, kid. So far I got you pegged as really strong and shock-resistant. The question is, what other tricks have you got up your sleeve?
Mr. White, don't do this.
See, the way I figure it, you're strong, you're shockproof, you're incredibly fast. Plus you're cursed with this hero complex.
Yeah, why don't you come back down on the deck and we'll talk about that.
No. Not till I have my story.
Wait, Mr. White? Look, you're wrong about me.
I'm betting you'll save me, Clark.
Thanks again for the ride.
It's the only way I could be sure you'd get on the bus.
You really are kind of a freak, you know that?
Mr. White...
I'm serious. You try to help people, even fools like me, and you never ask for anything in return. When I saw your face up there after it was all over, I suddenly realized I was about to tear down a good person. I just couldn't believe there was actually anyone like you out there.
Trust me, Mr. White, I'm not that good.
Something tells me the world hasn't seen the last of Perry White.
Something tells me you're right. Rumor has it I still have a friend or two on the Daily Planet. Oh, by the way, I went over a couple more of your Torch stories.
And?
Well, they're rough, and half the time you buried the lead, but I see a glimmer of hope. If you ever make it to Metropolis, look me up. I owe you one.
Why would he lie to me? It's not like he's gonna get the last 40 years of his life back.
Lana, convicted murderers spend half their day trying to convince people they're innocent.
Clark, that drawing looks exactly like you. So unless Dexter could've predicted the future, there's a pretty good chance that drifter was real. It could've been your grandfather. Even your father.
That's impossible.
Why? You must've come from somewhere. It's not like you just fell out of the sky.
Since when can you take police records out of City Hall?
Since I caught the clerk and his girlfriend playing cops and robbers while on the job.
So you took the liberty of rewriting our family history?
That's right. Why should I have to pay for the sins of my father?
Sounds familiar.
(about Krypton) When I said I wasn't from here, I wasn't talking about Smallville. Where I'm from we have colors that you've never seen. Our moons are so close they fill up half the sky. We have sunsets that last for hours.
I think Jor-El was sent here as some kind of rite of passage. Grandpa Kent was down here too. He told Joe that if there was anything he needed...
What is it, Clark?
I don't think you and Mom found me by accident... I think you were chosen.
The American version of closure. You can only get over your grief when you figure out how to merchandise your tragedy.
