This is my first playthrough and I've been avoiding spoilers like the plague...but I'm glad I looked this up. What a pitiful reward for all that XP!! I woke them up and they just ran off after giving me a gem...it just didn't seem right. I was hoping that maybe I'd meet them later and get a real reward. Glad I saved right before mindreading them. They're just gonna have to stay in their nightmares!
The gem you get is a malachite gem that you need for level 10 enchantments. You'll find maybe 10 of them in the whole of Ego Draconis, so it's actually a pretty nifty reward!
