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. But for psions, and others with psionic abilities, the reality is something altogether more complex.

All psions appear to be lucid dreamers. They are aware of their dreams while dreaming, aware they are dreaming, but able to control their actions. But more than that, powerful psions can twist the material of which a dreamscape is made, to shape and direct the dreamscape in which they find themselves. They can also walk from one dreamscape to another, observing the dreams of a sleeping mind, and influencing that mind. Thus psions know that dreams can be far from passive or harmless affairs. A mind can be terrified to the point that the dreamer will die in their sleep, or more benign, thoughts can be placed in the mind of the dreamer.

To a psion, then, a dreamscape is a fractured landscape, a myriad of dreamscapes, each occupied by a sleeping mind unaware of the dreamscapes of others, all open to perusal by a psion or psionically aware creature.
