"Well that's...wow, that's actually useful." He can already think of a situation or three where a power like that would have been exceptionally helpful, mostly with the preventing of suffering or having to watch his friends suffer in dreams. That would have been nice.
The confirmation that Topher won't go rifling through anyone's subconscious mind is a welcome thing to hear, though Daniel has no idea if that will even matter in his own case, seeing as Topher has evidently been getting extended glimpses into his life for some time. He trusts the man's assertion, however. He's been given no reason not to, and Topher's marked lack of hostility feels like a good verification that he means well.
"If only I could be so lucky." Daniel finally sits beside him. Now that he knows the dream isn't actively going to harm him, there's little reason to remain standing and tensed to run at any minute. He closes one hand in a fist and concentrates for a moment to demonstrate. It opens with a small pile of staples on his palm, which he shakes his head at in mild disgust.
