4. Literalists claim the dreams are symptomatic of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While true that nightmares are a symptom of PTSD, they're far from the only one. The rest of them are noticably absent for Shepard. They are not, however, absent from the asari commando in counseling and Kelly Chambers, both of whom seem to actually have PTSD. Unlike the literalists BioWare did their homework and actually knows there's more to PTSD than just nightmares. The biggest symptom is an extreme aversion to the circumstances that lead to the trauma. This is why Kelly Chambers won't come back to the Normandy and why the asari wants to be away from humans and refuses to bathe. Probably why she wants the gun too though it's unclear since she kills herself with it if she does get it. If Shepard had PTSD, then he'd have an extreme aversion to Reapers and Earth. Which, to say the very least, he doesn't.
This is an excellent point. I think we all just assumed that the PTSD explanation from Kelly was just an excuse to not have to write her character into the Normandy. But it could have that double purpose of demonstrating that there is far more to PTSD than what we see from Shepard.
