What must it be like, to live in a constant hell? Awake or asleep, you never escape the pure misery and purposelessness chasing you. The man said it was good to have bad dreams given their situation, for it meant they haven't given up, aren't simply longing for a release. I suppose I can understand that statement to some degree, but I don't agree. When we have reoccurring bad dreams, it usually means something is wrong (which it obviously is with the characters given their situation), and is more of an indicator of depression and suicidal tendencies than good dreams are... Does the man not realize that? To never have good dreams means that you have nothing left that can make you happy, nothing left to look forward to, enjoy or hope for. If they never have good dreams, do they really have nothing to live for? Why do they go on? Have they truly so deeply accepted that they'll never experience happiness again that not even their subconscious can imagine it?
