Dreams. They are something humans cannot seem to function without. When they sleep, they get lost in their dreams where their fears and desires come out to either haunt them or tease them with possibilities. I read an article once that claimed that without dreams, humans were not fully rested or refreshed for the next day. I am not exactly sure if I believe that but I do believe in the power of dreams.
Let me explain something about why I believe that. Many years ago I forced the hand of the ruling monarch of the Unseelie Courts into giving me a seat upon the Council. It just so happened that the seat of power I was given was in regards to dreams which came with a title; Mistress of Dreams. I am still exploring this new (to me) power and its effects upon my own race and humans but needless to say I have seen that hours spent dreaming can indeed bleed through to the waking hours. What I have witnessed to convince me of that does not really need to be delved into, the only thing that matters is that I believe.
Now with that explained I have a confession. I do not dream. My dreams faded away when I took the mantle of power and began manipulating and visiting the dreams of others. That does not mean that I do not have dreams as in aspirations because really without that what is the point in living? There is none as far as I am concerned. But when it comes to dreams that flash upon my mind’s eye while I sleep? Those I cannot claim to have. I really do not miss them because when I did have them all I did end up with were nightmares of a time I would rather never visit again.
Needless to say, I would rather guide the dreams of others and walk the landscapes of imagination with the power to change them within my grasp. It is far more fulfilling.
