 ======Great Dream======
-The Great Dream is the name of the place where a dead version of [[npc:Ariyadna]] pulled [[pc:Antonio Vargas]] after his own death at the hands yet another Ariyadna.
+The Great Dream is a timeline- and universe-spanning virtual world that can be accessed by any sentient being.
-It might be some kind of afterlife. The local Ariyadna says that people's memories linger in the Great Dream and a person can be more fully realized there if you know how.
+The ability to connect to the Great Dream and use it in one way or another is usually called dreamwalking or dreamweaving.
-In the only scene we have seen, Antonio experienced the Great Dream as an idealized version of his childhood home, and his childhood pet pig Rosa welcomed him to it.
+======What Does It Do?======
-Amanda insists the Great Dream is connected through the Sun. No one seems to understand what this means.
+It might be some kind of afterlife. One version of [[npc:ariyadna#dream|Ariyadna]] says that people's memories linger in the Great Dream and a person can be more fully realized there if you know how.
-The Great Dream is apparently related to the discipline of dreamwalking, that can manifest memories on the real world. [[pc:Gaia Dynko]] has materialized the memories of [[npc:Victor Vituska]], the six rigasian soldiers dead during the [[session:4|hunt for Maal]], and a plate of supernaturally delicious cookies.
+In this context, [[pc:Antonio Vargas]] experienced the Great Dream as an idealized version of his childhood home, and his childhood pet pig Rosa welcomed him to it.
-The Great Dream might be which allowed [[pc:Clark Dubois]] and Gaia Dynko to contact a future version of [[npc:Riung]].
+The Great Dream can also be used to manifest memories in the real world, indistinguishable from real objects, at least for a while. [[pc:Gaia Dynko]] has materialized the memories of [[npc:Victor Vituska]], the six rigasian soldiers dead during the [[session:4|hunt for Maal]], and a plate of supernaturally delicious cookies.
-======Party Dreamwalking Log======
+The Great Dream can be used to communicate with other people regardless of where they are: [[npc:Oleia]] used this to great effect to coordinate the defense of [[place:Kesizma]] on the face of a [[place:rigasia|Rigasian]] invasion.
-=====Nuskom Bombing=====
+This might not be limited to the present, since both [[pc:Clark Dubois]] and Gaia Dynko have managed to contact a future version of [[npc:Riung]].
-Beggining of [[session:3|session 3]] gaia takes on the glove inside the zone
+======How Does It Work?======
-> Gaia takes on the glove
+Amanda insists the Great Dream is connected through the Sun. For a while, people were very confused about this.
->
-> And when you put it you kinda stop hearing what clark is saying, because instead you're seeing and hearing so much. Clark is suddenly kinda not there? he's suddenly like this weird shape made of cold wind and frost. There are strange lines of wind that start where he used the glove and spread through the air and the ground.
->
-> And then you see AMANDA and you have to look up because she's HUGE, and not exactly like a physical thing? More like a part of the countryside in the rough shape of a a squirrel with eyes that extend the entirety of the horizon.
->
-> And you follow those eyes, and see the ruins of nuskom and you SCREAM. you can't see this. you can't stand it. it's painful, so painful. seeing the ruin hurts
->
-> It's like you were there when the bomb fell. and you are feeling the explosion as a continuous thing. every single one of your senses is blinded by it. your eyes are assaulted by light, your ears hurt from the loud explosion, your body feels like it's burning and being torn away from the debris flying past you. closing your eyes does nothing to alleviate it. in fact it lets you see it more clearly
-at that point gaia takes the glove off
+Humans in the corner of reality we are dealing with seem to agree that the Great Dream was created by an exceedingly old intelligence they call the Giver of Shapes, and it works by connecting minds together through hubs spanning the coronas of most stars; the inteligences handling this are referred to as Dream Queens.
-=====First conversation with AMANDA=====

-=====Amanda's Story=====
-At the start of [[session:14|Session 14]], the party dreamed of being squirrels and being told this story by Amanda:
-> Do you know the sun that looks on us is not the first one?
->
-> Like trees, suns grow bigger and bigger, then fall, and from their decayed wood, new suns grow.
->
-> Before our sun, there were two more and this story begins in the first of them.
->
-> So long ago that suns had not yet fallen to the ground, and thus there was no land or water only wind… and fire.
->
-> These suns did not have squirrels, not like we know them. There were people living there, but it was a life of fire and wind, and bigger than anything we can imagine now.
->
-> The fire-beings from the first suns lived long, and lived well, but in time, the first suns died, and with them most of the beings did too.
->
-> But some of them managed to build themselves wings to fly off the ancinent fire-trees and escaped, and lived.
->
-> At first, they were elated. But then, they understood a terrible thing: they were now alone. there was no one else to talk to, and no trees to find them.
->
-> And it wold take an enormous amount of time for new people to be born in new trees so the wisest of them had an idea.
->
-> They created smaller creatures like themselves, big as the fire trees, and hung them on every single new sun, and to them they told: you must teach the new children that are born in your trees how to talk, so someday they will be able to find us.
->
-> And for a long, long time, the new creatures have lived in the new suns, caring for the dreams of every single new being born.
->
-> They are the Dream Queens of the Giver of Shapes.
