Properties

The character is a lucid dreamer, a person who is aware of being dreaming while asleep. Each lucid dreamer can manipulate their own dream world to a certain extent even to the point of entering other dreams or a collective unconscious. Some lucid dreamers are powerful enough to control the dreams of others, and more advanced ones can even be powerful enough to dominate the dream world. Also, lucid dreamers are more equipped and successful than normal people in combating nightmares and spiritual/astral creatures that may appear in dreams.
