Dracula speculation, spoilers for 128-year-old book
#DraculaDaily thought: hold on, if Dracula has a psychic link with his victims and vice versa (as we see later in the book with Mina), how come he couldn't see through Lucy's eyes and find out there was a vampire hunter who was On To him? E.g. the garlic flowers, etc.
(Yes, Lucy does try to rip up her last letter, but I think that's more like her vampire instincts are taking over.)

Update: in the Oct. 3 entry, Dracula says to Mina before forcing her to drink his blood:
When my brain says “Come!” to you, you shall cross land or sea to do my bidding; and to that end this!’
So I believe that is what creates the psychic link between them. It never happened with Lucy presumably because she never drank Dracula's blood; she was just an ordinary victim. In Mina's case, Dracula was specifically trying to punish her and also use her against the rest of the gang.
