Even while sleeping, some things never quite left his mind. His worry about Peridot manifests in the way his concerns have more than once: he finds himself aware within his own dream, looking for her but with no idea where to go.
His lack of success in finding her drives his own anxiety. Is she too far away to hear him? Is it because she doesn't sleep? After what feels like hours of searching he eventually relents, letting his dream world fall away, fading into restful but defeated darkness.
--
Sometime later he wakes up for real. It's not until Greg is well on his way to making waffles that he slips into wakefulness for the first time, and he dozes for a while after that. Eventually, though, he becomes aware of himself and confused about where exactly he's waking up, only to remember that he's back in their carnival trailer, and someone is cooking.
It's nice in concept, and he quietly watches his dad work from bed for a few minutes, in a dreamy kind of daze. The frown can't stay off his face, though. The longer he's awake the more he remembered.
