The Dream realm is where you go when you are asleep.  It is a land of impermanence and hyperreality.  The Shashnimyn are linked psychically through dreams, and can seek out ancestors and answers, even those from within.

Players get a mirrored set of action points to their physical selves to use in the dream realm.  There, they can create mini adventure areas, customize their home, pick costumes and interact with others on the meta-gaming level.  The dream realm is hosted on the player's machine itself, and is completely malleable.  The cheat protection should be nearly non-existent, because it would encourage development through transparency.  They can host a server of their dream realm and invite other players.  They can share their own built adventures, discuss their strategy for an upcoming event or whatever they want.  It sits out of time so it can be accessed at any time through the menu (even though day time will still pass if their character is active).

Adventures that take place in the Dream realm

Confronting negative emotions.

What are the origins of bad feelings?  Are they actually a part of you?  Sure, things will happen in life that cause emotions to stir up in you, this is unavoidable.  But the reaction to them is our choice.  Is it best to react negatively and perpetuate these emotions, or to recognize them when they appear and try to still them?

This is a theme that often occurs in the Dream realm.  Because it is a land of your subconscious, it contains the influences of your person.  Some dream characters will try to trick you by provoking you to react to negative emotions.  If these reactions are prolonged they can become powerful monsters in your realm that you will soon be running from.  How can they be defeated?  This is what you must choose.

The type of monster can be generated by personifications of negative emotions that are plaguing you in real life.  What is something that seems to be controlling you, something that you want to change but feel powerless about?  These things that we worry about are some of the first to make it into our dreams.
