"Falling deeper into sleep, kon korori, and even if a demon comes, kon korori, forget to breathe, kon korori, even in the stomach, kon korori, they... can no longer awaken."
― Enmu (Kimetsu no Yaiba)
"Dreams are my specialty. Through dreams I influence mankind..."
― The Lord of Darkness (Legend (1985 film))
"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here,
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream."
― William Shakespeare (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act V Scene I)

Capabilities[]

The user can enter, shape, and manipulate the dreams of themselves and others, taking absolute control over the intangible yet deeply personal realm of dreaming. Dreams are not just fleeting illusions conjured by a sleeping brain — they are vivid expressions of the subconscious, shaped by emotion, memory, trauma, desire, and thought. They are coded messages from the mind to itself, unbound by logic, and the user holds the cipher to them all. Whether the dream is a comforting fantasy, a tangled metaphor, or a howling nightmare, the user becomes its architect and master, able to alter its course or create it from nothing.

Within this ever-shifting dreamscape, physical laws crumble. Time can expand or collapse, places morph with a glance, and a single feeling can birth entire worlds. The user can sculpt environments, summon beings, replay or rewrite memories, and control the flow of narrative with total clarity. They can dive into the dreams of others undetected or announce their presence as a godlike force. Emotions, thoughts, and fears become tangible forces to interact with, and the dreamer’s state of mind becomes a canvas the user can paint, twist, or erase entirely.

The power extends across every form of dreaming — from the deepest unconscious visions to the drifting clouds of daydreams. The user can intrude upon or fabricate lucid dreams, granting the dreamer awareness within the dream while still controlling the experience themselves or allowing shared agency. They can blur the line between lucidity and illusion, using it to awaken insight or induce confusion. Nightmares become tools or weapons — raw terror molded into psychological torment, punishment, or manipulation. The user can amplify subconscious fears into overwhelming horror or guide the dreamer through their worst memories as a form of harsh therapy or cruel entertainment.

Even in waking life, the user’s influence may persist. They can manipulate daydreams, subtly affecting conscious fantasy, distraction, or imagination — causing visions during meditation, boredom, or moments of vulnerability. These waking visions can be laced with suggestion, temptation, inspiration, or deceit. Through such control, the user can blur reality and unreality, making the dreamer question what’s real even after waking. Sleepwalking, hallucinations, and déjà vu may all be symptoms of their lingering presence.

With deep mastery, the user can create shared dreams, binding multiple minds into a single, synchronized dreamworld where they can interact, confront, or collaborate — or be played against one another without ever realizing it. They may form persistent dream realms, stabilized with thought and will, functioning as pocket dimensions where time flows differently and the laws of nature bend. They can hide within dreams, travel between sleepers like a phantom, or even use dream paths as shortcuts through mental space, bypassing physical barriers.

They can extract buried memories, rewrite identities, or implant new thoughts that take root in the waking mind. Trauma can be softened, healed, or exploited. Longings can be fulfilled or corrupted. Through the dreamscape, they may bypass all defenses — psychological, magical, or otherwise — for in sleep, the mind is most open, most vulnerable, and most unguarded. What they do there may linger: emotional scars, behavioral shifts, dreams that repeat endlessly, or ideas the dreamer believes are their own.

To this user, sleep is not rest — it is opportunity. Dreams are not illusions — they are malleable worlds, reflections of truth wrapped in imagination, and they are the raw material of their power. Whether to offer enlightenment, comfort, chaos, or terror, they hold dominion over all states of dreaming — from the fleeting flicker of a daydream to the endless descent into nightmare. And those who sleep in their presence may never wake the same… if at all.

Limitations[]

  • Oneiric Immunity/Dream Negation/Dream-Lock
  • May not work on lucid dreamers.
  • May not work on those who have insonmia (the condition of being unable to sleep, or having difficulty falling asleep)
  • May be limited to only putting a person in a Nightmare/Dream Realm, not fully controlling their dream.
  • May not be able to warp reality, therefore not being able to damage the target physically.
  • The user can only affect sleeping subjects.
    • Due to this, users have a limited amount of time while their target is asleep unless the user also has Sleep Inducement.
