	All this brings great risk, as well as great opportunity, to those who wander the dreamscapes as they sleep, but there are tales of even more, of psions who can walk physically within the dreamscape, bringing their bodies along with their minds, traversing great distances, and awakening far from where they lay down to sleep. Other tales speak of arcane powers that permit both body and mind to enter the dreamscape; certainly the illithid Abalaxxarrh lurked within a dreamscape of his own weaving.

	Dreamscapes - the places the mind goes when it dreams, the landscape and inhabitants of dreams. For most, this is merely a matter of semantics. A dream is a dream, fair or foul, a pleasant walk through memories or twisted nightmare. An experience during sleep quickly forgotten on waking.

They can also walk from one dreamscape to another, observing the dreams of sleeping minds, and, should they choose to do so, bringing an influence to bear on that mind.
