Henry shrugs.
"He should. Whether he takes it seriously or learns anything from it or writes it off as a dream though, I dunno." He says frankly.
That makes sense. And if Mike was actually smoking weed, which you've no reason to doubt he'd lie about it in a dream, it's even less likely he'd remember or think too much about it.
Which is an honest shame, because it might've taught him something.
"The real question is how much of this you'll remember." Henry notes.
"I don't think you need to worry too much about me in that regard." You assure.
"If you say so." Henry says, taking another drink.

"Let's just say 'ghost bullshit' and leave it at that." Henry says with a chuckle.
You frown at his seeming evasiveness.
"...Alright, in the strictest sense, this is a Nightmare." He amends. "Like, the pokemon move. It'd be a helluva lot worse if you weren't so squared away. I dunno if that mouthy bastard's actually that bad or if his pokemon are that strong, but I've toned this as far down as I can manage." He says, almost defensively.
