OOC Information > Added Purviews > Dream Purview
Dreams are a vital connection to the world of the divine – a world of mystery and story where Fate can make its designs known, and where epics can be told in the theatre of the mind. In some Pantheons a God will be a master of Dreams: Morpheus, Serapis and Tezcatlipoca are the dream gods of the Greek, Egyptian and Aztec pantheons. On other pantheons, dreams are seen as no less significant, but are more of a realm of mystery – the Japanese have the Bahu dream-eaters, the Haitian voodoo religions describe dreams as “visions of the night”, and the Norse see dreams as the realm of prophecy. A few Scions learn to delve further into the lands of dream and begin to unweave and master its hidden symbolisms. This Purview represents that gift.

More Than Lucid
Dream •
A Scion with this boon may choose to enter a sleep-like state at will. For 1W, the Scion may cause any dream in this state, or during true sleep, into a lucid dream. This also allows the Scion some level of ability to fight back should their dreams be invaded. The Scion may also spend 1W to wake up at any time.
Walk The Dream
Dream ••
A Scion who spends 1L to activate this boon may travel the world of dreams and enter the dreams of another. They may convey a message, but for every minute spent in another’s dream, the Scion must spend 1W to remain conscious of themselves or be swept up into the dream and remain without control until the dreamer wakes naturally.
Trap The Dreamer
Dream •••
For 2L and 1W, the Scion may trap a dreamer within their dreams. This works two-fold. First, the Scion may take full control of another’s dream as if it were their own so long as the victim has less legend. Second, if the victim has less legend than the Scion, then the victim cannot wake from the dream until the Scion releases them.
Dreams Of Legend
Dream ••••
The Scion regains legend at double rate while they sleep and may regain legend for legendary acts done in dreams.
Krueger’s Curse
Dream •••••
Spending 4L and 2W, the Scion causes her victim’s dreams to affect them like the real world would. If the victim is injured in their dream, the injury will be reflected upon their waking body.
Van Winkle’s Boon
Dream ••••• •
The Scion in possession of this boon gains legend in extra health levels while sleeping. If they must use these health levels, however, it lowers their temporary legend equal to the health levels used when they awake.
Nighty-night
Dream ••••• ••
For 8L and 3W, the Scion may force all those near them, so long as they are of lesser legend, to sleep. For an extra 1L and 1W, they may induce a dream state in all affected. This 1L and 1W may be waived if the subjects are willing.
Dreams Made Flesh
Dream ••••• •••
For 10L and 4W, the Scion may pull any object that they can carry from their dreams. They must roll willpower + legend (with the complexity and size of the object raising the number of successes needed and the difficulty) to determine if the item is whole and functional.
Slipped From Dreams
Dream ••••• ••••
For 12L and 6W, the world around the Scion begins to take on the aspect of dreams. Individuals of lesser legend of the Scion and relics which are not the birthrights of higher legend individuals are affected. Features are exaggerated or entirely replaced to better reflect the nature of an individual. Items may become animate or speak. This effect lasts for one scene or until the Scion dismisses it.
Dreams Come True
Dream ••••• •••••
At a cost of 15L and 8W, the Scion may pull anything they can dream of from their dreams with no roll. The sole limitation is that the object cannot be a relic or sentient. For 30L and 10W, the Scion may pull even relics or sentient beings from their dreams.
The Sleeper
Dream Avatar
The Sleeper is a vaguely humanoid being, whose features are in constant flux. The only feature which is constant is that the Sleeper’s eyes are never open. The Sleeper appears to drift through any space and all those who look upon the Sleeper fall comatose. When the Sleeper is angered, the nightmares of all nearby come to life. When the Sleeper is pleased, their greatest wishes come true, if only until the Sleeper departs.
