Limitations

Oneiric Immunity
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.
- This may be rectified by using "daydreams" or inducing sleep.
Users of Psychic Shield are either immune or highly resistant.
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.

Note

Real word version of this power is called Lucid Dreaming.
