Is there a means to sleep without dreaming? In a preventative manner.


Optional Action/Log: The Wishing Well

[ Encounter one (1) local phantom named Somnus standing near the Wishing Well within the town, peering over its worn edge. As many might already know, one may cast a bauble into the well and receive something in return. Perhaps he's here to do just that? Or, perhaps, he's here to observe. The well is rather mysterious in nature, after all. Where else does someone drop a plain round sphere, imbued with a wish, and receive a facsimile of an item from one's homeworld in return?

Regardless of his actual intentions, his expression appears as grim as ever. Fitting, for a dead person. ]

Javelin Throwing

[ Somewhere at the border of the town and the wildlands, catch him practicing tossing javelins. It seems he may be doing it as some form of exercise. That, or a distraction. ]

Wildcard

[ Have an idea? PM this account, drinksteapots, or Jade294#6977! ]

Perhaps it is a matter of discovering it for ourselves.

[retrieves]

maybe. i mean, i have a friend who's a researcher, but there's got to be some people who would've thought about it before now, right?

[luciing]

Hence this query. If they have, I would hope they comment, even should it be for any methods that have failed to stop a dream from occurring.

[retrieves]

staying awake can help avoid dreams, but it's not exactly the best for you to do, health-wise.

[he might be kind of being an ass...]

[luciing]

Verily, for the living.

Do you care for your dreams to be broadcasted for all?

[retrieves]

no i don't care for it.

[the only one that's been shared as of this post was kinda traumatic.]

but it doesn't seem like even though dreamotion is a big thing, it doesn't prevent it either. anything we do would probably involve that, right?

[luciing]

Indeed. I hesitate to guess that more dreamotion is the answer to an issue developed by dreamotion. Finding a means to negate it seems much more appealing. Are you interested in investigating?

[retrieves]

usually the way to fight something magical is to master it, in my experiences. but yeah, I'll investigate if you're game.

[luciing]

Help would be appreciated. Riku, is it? I shall send for you at another date.

In the meantime, is there anything in your world that is able to negate something akin to dreamotion, such as countering magic?
