1. We're going to say that unless we state otherwise, no characters will have access to their previous powers or capabilities in dreams. This includes the MDZS bunch. The dreams in our March/April event were extraordinary in nature, and unlikely to be matched on any level.
1a. Characters can use the dreams to discover, develop, and explore their in-game powers! If a character can find enough stability in a dream, they can use it to practice their abilities in a safe space. None of these powers will present as more powerful than how they are in a waking state. However, the dreams can help someone discover their new power if they haven't done so just yet.
1b. This is something you guys can definitely work toward! When it comes to energy, there is nothing in particular to harness. It seems like the capability is there all along, since many of the characters experienced it in the dreamscape event. However, achieving even a fragment of that control and power will take time! So: this is a tentative yes, but we'd need it posed as a player plot for people to aim for!
As for recurrent imagery, there will be a lot of dreams that eventually involve a body of water of some kind. An ocean, a lake, a river. Even manmade versions of these are likely to show up. They may be bodies of water from someone's actual life - and thus, unlikely to stand out - or added or included when they were otherwise not there.
2. Not right now! If this changes, we'll let you know. For example, the closest thing we can think of would be the spear from the dreamscape event that later featured in Zerzura. For likely obvious reasons, the spear is unlikely to feature again.
3. Not to the degree that you're describing. For example, Zerzura was the side effect of actions within the dreamscape, creating a whole other reality for the characters to eventually invade and interact with over time. Multiple characters influenced the creation of Zerzura and how it was meant to be "dealt with." What you're describing comes close to being a lot like it - creating a liminal space for the characters to live out their lives away from reality. While we like the idea - obviously, as we used a version of it in an event! - we can't monitor it on the scale you're describing, and it would become difficult to moderate on our end.
That said, characters can do this on a micro level. They can keep a dream from skipping ahead, ensuring that they can take time to train while resting their physical bodies. But they won't be able to live out their lives beyond that.
