Welcome to the Dreaming

We would love it if you'd join us in the Dream World.

There are two components of the Dreaming:

1. The Aether: the social-networking site. You will post to http://dreamings.ning.com as your Dreaming persona. A lot of the content you post to the site will come from your actions in the live game.
2. The Live Game: getting up from your keyboard and having unique experiences in 3D Meatspace (the "real world"). This may involve meeting other Dreaming characters, and going on adventures called Dream Walks together.

For most people, this second one will take a measure of willpower. You must be open to having adventures and breaking the routine of your everyday life. You must be willing to explore and play in our mutually-sustained dream world.

How do I make a character?

1. come up with a character concept.
2. pick a Dreaming Race. Each race has a unique skill or feature which you get automatically. You get to pick two Dreaming Race Skills. Enter this choice on your profile.
3. pick a Dreaming Class. Each class has a few skills available. You will choose five of them. Skills marked "Encounter" can be recharged by resting for five minutes. Skills marked "Daily" recharge at 6 AM. Skills marked "Passive" are always active, or can be used whenever you'd like. Paste these skills in your profile.

You may only choose each skill once.

You have 5 health, but skills can add more.

What if nobody's in my area?

We hope that eventually, many cities will have a Dreaming community. Most communities will begin as a few isolated players going on Single Player Dream Walks. Single Player Dream Walks are a way you can engage the Dreaming without playing with other people. We encourage you to help build a community in your area by finding new players and hosting game activities.
