A moment of your time, if I may.
I seek the advice of anyone skilled in the usage of dreamotion magic, most especially those who made use of their own kind of magic before arriving here. Anyone is welcome to contribute what they know, of course. I'll take any advice into account.
I've managed to grasp the basics of how everything operates here, though I've found that the spells I've attempted have been erratic and inconsistent in nearly any situation, even if emotions are not a factor.
My request? Pray tell me if this is aught you've experienced or even similar. Normally I would work alone to pinpoint and fix my own shortcomings, but [Something was written here and then quickly scratched out, replaced with:] ah, never mind that. I'd like to hear what others have to say on the matter.
My thanks in advance.

Mistletoe is a curious thing, isn't it? Traditionally people kiss underneath it, but there's more of a story to it. The druids of my world would harvest it for their magic, but there's one particular story that I'd like to highlight.
---
A long time ago the god Baldur was a god of the sun, joy, peace... all of those positive things. His mother, the goddess Freya, heard a prophecy that he was going to die. She didn't want that, so she made everything in the world swear an oath not to harm him. Everything, that is, except for mistletoe - apparently too young to swear an oath, or something like that.
The gods had a fun time throwing everything at Baldur and watching it bounce off, but Loki, god of mischief, found out about the mistletoe and fashioned a spear out of the stuff. He then gave it to Hod, Baldur's blind brother, and watched as it slew Baldur.
There's more to the story - about the goddess Hel not wanting to let the dead god go unless everything in the world wept for him. But Loki disguised himself as a giantess and would not cry, so Baldur stayed dead. And that culture's gods are barely worshiped anymore in my world, so who's to say?
---
Now, storytime aside... I seem to have taken ill. It's nothing life-threatening, but I'd have someone look at it all the same. There wouldn't happen to be a doctor or healer among our number willing to make house calls, would there?

Esteemed fellow Dreamwalkers,
I extend my heartfelt greetings to all in a moment of personal and restive rumination.
Within the intricate tapestry of our shared experience in this world bolstered by dreams, I find myself weaving a humble thread, seeking solace in the wisdom that resides in the bonds of our community. At this juncture, I pen my thoughts along the parchment of shared understanding, for in unity lies the strength to weather any tempests looming on the horizon, yet to beset us.
As the echoes of battle ring in my memory, it is clear that I cannot delay training, despite my insipidness. To clarify, my aversion stems not from the intention to undermine the value of such a skillset, but from the need to face my diffidence so that I may improve.
I respectfully ask those who are proficient in the physicalities of battle if you would be willing to share insights and advice on the intricacies thereof. In return, I will offer what I can, within reason. I’ve little in tangible possessions, but I am not adverse to providing reciprocal services. For your consideration, I’m adept with the casting of fire magicks, I can perform manual labor, and I can also assist with research. If none of these credentials suffice, I am willing to negotiate other fair compensation for your time and efforts.
Pray accept my deepest gratitude to all who have read my entreaty. As we act as conduits of dreams and magicks, let us fortify our knowledge together.
In camaraderie,
Joshua Rosfield

Hello (* ^ ω ^)
Much as I would like to begin by formally introducing myself, I am afraid a most pressing matter led me to pick the quill and put ink on this page. I need assistance with a truly difficult task: engaging in social interactions! (;;;*_*)
I cannot say much lest it reveals my identity, but my line of work is a solitary one that has caused me to become somewhat lacking in what people call "social skills." As such, I believe myself to not be what any sane soul would consider "pleasant" company. Someone as gloomy and evil as myself does not fall under the common conception of a "good person," I am afraid. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
Yet, I very much desire to make friend with as many of you as possible. Unfortunately, mine is a position of such importance, it would be unseemly to openly ask for help when I am supposed to figure out such thing on my own. This is the reason behind this anonymous entry. I realize the suspense behind my identity may be somewhat difficult to bear, and I apologize for any anxiety this might cause you. ｡ﾟ･（>﹏<）･ﾟ｡
I humbly ask that you share with me what wisdom you may have regarding social interactions, so that I may improve and become worthy of friendship and companionship. While I believe this to be a tall order, I shall perpetually strive to improve! Any and all advice are very much welcome. (´｡• ω •｡`)
Thank you for your time. (o^▽^o)

Subject: Dreamotion Research Assistance Request
Many of you may already be aware of the ongoing effort to ensure that those who wish to remain in this world may do so. Eustace-san has suggested a logical first step: we need to better understand the nature of the connections between our present selves and our original worlds. While it appears that observing the connection directly is beyond their current instruments, the researchers at the Observatory are hopeful that progressing their understanding of dreamotion could prove helpful.
What we now need are volunteer dreamers who would not object to the study of their dreamwalking and dreamotion. For those willing, if you could reply here or contact myself or Eustace-san, it would be a considerable help. Of course those who have no intention of staying here permanently are also very welcome to assist. I believe learning more about this could be beneficial to all of us.
Finally, the tapirs have suggested that those who no longer exist in their original world may not be tethered to those worlds as tightly. From comparison to the magic of my own world, I believe volunteers with unusual circumstances such as these might be able to provide the researchers with additional clues. Those who have died in their own worlds, who otherwise experienced a separation from their physical bodies, or who may have complex connections as a result of something such as cloning could be particularly helpful. I understand that a number of these subjects may be sensitive. If you don't wish to discuss them in public, you are more than welcome to contact us privately, or to disclose this information only to the researchers themselves.
Thank you all for your time,
Baldr

Subject: Dreamotion "Lessons"
With the current dreamotion distortion occurring all over and the number of times I've needed to assist those who lack understanding and experience, it would be prudent for there to be a "class" or "training session" for those who are new or need further assistance. If nothing else, learning the basics will help others to advance and develop on their own.
This is a call to any who are willing to help with this endeavor.
While I am willing to assist, I have other commitments that won't allow me to do more than offer start up support, organization if necessary, and advice and insight into using dreamotion. I'm sure there are those who are as or more capable than I, so I have no issue if someone else would like to take charge.
In the meantime, I can offer some private lessons or a one time public demonstration with others who would like to help, but that would be the extent of my involvement.
You are free to use this entry to ask questions and answer each other. Providing tips and advice may help those who have recently arrived. While there are some common trends and techniques, bear in mind that dreamotion will work differently and uniquely to the individual. What works for you might not for another.[Probably need to start a pamphlet... Someone get on that—][ooc: THREADJACKING ENCOURAGED. Threads can also switch to action if needed. As mentioned, this idea is free for anyone else to take over or help in a similar way because lmfao while Eustace is fine helping every now and then, he already has enough on his hands.

Subject: A Method to Stay in This World
As everyone should know, the version of ourselves in this world is wholly separate from our originals that remain awake in our home worlds. What we do here has no effect there, and vice versa. Most won't care whether they are here for a temporary stay, however there are those like me and Tifa who have formed relationships that would be impossible if not for this world.
And I am determined to make it last.
When the Halloween Carnival arrived last October, we had the opportunity to speak to the tapirs and inquire about the nature of our existence here. In short, we are tethered to our home world which allows us to return, currently at random. However, the fae, creatures, and every other being that is not a dreamer like ourselves do not have such tethers. They either traversed into this world or were directly taken through other means.
This leads to the conclusion that if we want to stay in this world, we need to somehow break the connection, either by completely severing it or changing the tether to connect to this world instead. Perhaps we need to completely change the nature of our current "dream self." As the risk of being sent back is high if the tether is cut, I aim to focus on other means.
However, there is of course no known knowledge or means to do this, and the tapirs do not know, either. Thus I am sending this inquiry to:
1) ask if there are any others who would be interested either to help or in the results;
2) if there is anyone who is familiar with dimensional travel or strong magic that could give some clue as to what to look for.
Currently I am looking through the Tree of Stories to find any text or story that could be of use. My current suspicion is dreamotion will be the main component, however manipulating it for such a use will be difficult.
If you are interested, you can respond here or contact me privately.
— Eustace[ooc: AND THUS MARKS THE BEGINNINGS OF A VERY LONG QUEST but yeah Eustace is trying to find a way to stay permanently in this world and is looking for anyone who wants to help, wants to benefit, or has ideas that they can look into and be possibly incorporated in the actual method.
