a lot of questions revolving around dreams before we can start this ball really rolling. so:
1. Can they cultivate in their dreams? In MDZS, cores permit the individual the ability to modify and manipulate their qi. Their qi can be used for purposes from the mundane (such as regulating their body temperature) to the mystifying (such controlling their own weaponry remotely). The latter would require the formation of a golden core, which in turn permits them to build a “base” toward their terminal goal of immortality. If you want to think of it another way, think of it as an internal philosopher’s stone; a golden core permits the use of magic (spiritual energy) and arcane methods, but also extends life (if done properly) indefinitely. This is not to say, of course, they are invulnerable! Conditional immortality until ascension is a good way to put it.
a. As this will only be within the dream (and not outside the dream), what exterior impact could it potentially have with enough training? Could they achieve better control of their own given powers, focus their empathy, or “charge” other individuals? These are just possible examples or suggestions!
b. What will this training allow them to do within dreams? Is there a potential energy (literal or figurative) that they could harness? Is there a deeper unconsciousness that they can reach? Is there recurrent imagery that occurs that is separated from the Displaced’s individual dreaming that they can dig up with enough time and effort? Can we do a sort of Inception with permission and focus?
2. Is there something within dreams that they can “commune” with? For example, besides just the individuals they dream walk to, is there something else they can get a glimpse of?
3. Given these dreams, can they manipulate the flow of time within them? For example, is it possible to live an entire life in a dream? Or would this have an impact on the physical body?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, we'll follow up with more questions if we come up with them!
