Hmmm...I think the dear friar should've expounded further on this thought:
"The virtue is present even when it is not operative or actualized...For example, the chaste person is chaste even when asleep. I would go even further and say that the person is chaste even if sleep brings sexual dreams containing images that would be unchaste if they were welcomed in times of watchful responsibility."
--Fr. Benedict Groeschel in "The Virtue-Driven Life"
