Your tag about Jonathan possibly still struggling with unreality made me think about the fact that in the Epilogue he expresses distress that they have no primary source documents left

(For context this is referring to my i wonder if Jonathan still struggles with unreality sometimes)

I hadn't thought of that! It's sad, but not unrealistic, that years later he'd still be struggling with the fear that this is all not real at all and he's still trapped (especially if he still hasn't gotten rid of the nightmares)

#Maybe them having healed enough to go back to the source of their traumas as a vacation helps him ground himself:#on their vacation the route they take to Transylvania together is like he remembered it #maybe Mina points at sights he had written in his journal #as he re-reads it and looks at the scenery at the same time. So later #when he dreads that his life and family aren't real #Mina tells him to remember their journey back and how beautiful it was #and how happy he was to have his favorite Romanian chicken and eggplant dishes locally again #the sights and smells and the touch of his wife's hand in his as they bravely looked at the Castle coming back to him...#dracula daily
