Two things here.

A) Dream as per the Awakenings is not an "interactive" spell by any real
measure, it merely is a "one way sending of a dream-like state/message to a
recipient" (paraphrased that). The caster doesn't really know the impact the
target gains from it other than the message/intending imagery as per his/her
own opinions and hoped for impact.

B) Mind Probe is a "Deep Mental Interactions" spellcasting, and as such, can
gain much more than "surface" thoughts. As to exactly what extents is left
primarily up to the GM in question. -We- use a vague system. for every
success (net) the caster gains on the subject, a single question can be
answered. If the GM desires such, more successes can drag out more detail, in
a fashion similar to an "Etiquette" or "Information" test can in other
situations.
