Each night, some part of a sleeping person's spirit enters his realm, known as the Dreaming. Dream can control the dreams of anyone he choses, and has, in fact constructed them all. Every dream, from the gentle Fiddler's Green to the horrifying Corinthian was created by Dream. Dream is also the lord of stories and tales. Some mortals who become engrained in myth and stories may stay in the dreaming after death, particularly if they died in their sleep. Cain and Able (and this makes for a great V:tM plot) reside in the Dreaming (This Cain was never a Vampire), along with Eve. Dream can create anything from dreamstuff, and is omnipotent in his own realm. However, the Dreaming does have laws, that Dream made himself. He cannot kill a mortal, unless that mortal is a vortex (see comics). There are other laws as well. Dream has also shown the ability to banish the dead from this plane (watch out!) and alter the perceptions of waking mortals. NOTES: Dream is a quiet being, only speaking what is nessecary. Dream will do whatever is nessecary to further his own goals. In this he is somewhat ruthless, although he has mellowed some in the past two thousand years. Dream trusts his sister Death more than any other, although he does confide in, and take advice from, Lucien, the librarian, and Matthew, the Raven. He has a very strong sense of responsibility, and is the most loyal of the Endless to his duties, excepting his elder siblings Destiny and Death.
