A Dream Walk is an event or story which happens within the Dreaming. Characters must band together into a party to go on Dream Walks. They usually involve walking or physically traveling somewhere. While on a Dream Walk, you may face danger, interact with NPCs, or solve puzzles. Other characters in your party will leave you for a little while to play monsters or other non-player characters.
At the end of a Dream Walk, you will often find a reward, or at least make progress towards one of your goals. In order for a Dream Walk to "count", it must be retold. Someone must post pictures, video, or a story about the Dream Walk to the game's central blog. People are encouraged to make their narratives as colorful and interesting as possible.
Good records of Dream Walks prevent disputes about cheating. If there ever is dispute about where someone found an item, there will be a public record you can reference to prove that you earned it. Likewise, when treasure is found, the tag must be signed by all players present, thereby ensuring that it was found during a legitimate game event.
Dream Walks allow players to participate in ongoing game narratives. For example, there are 100 refugees hidden on the war-torn realm of Faeire. Two Dream Walks relevant to this plotline are available on the game website. In one, you go to Faerie and fight your way towards the refugees. If you succeed, you can recover two of them. An ongoing total is kept on the website. But if you want to thwart the rescue, you can go into the dangerous heart of the Dreaming and try to shut the Fae gates. If people succeed on this it seals off 2 refugees from rescue. The plotline is completed once all the refugees are returned or sealed away.
The game website hosts a central archive of Dream Walks. Players can go on any Dream Walk for which they meet the requirements. They simply print out the Dream Walk PDF, distribute the roles to each other, and then begin their journey.
Players may write Dream Walks and submit them to be rated by others. In this manner, players generate the ongoing content for the game.

Dream Walk Template
This will eventually house a word processing template for creating dream walks.
It will look something like this:
Page 1: Title page. Short description of the adventure. Requirements for going on adventure. Rewards for going on adventure
Page 2-5: Page divided into four sections. Each section is the writeup for one role
Page 6: Treasure template
