Waking Dreams - Illusions, alter reality
Caster may fall asleep at will (while sitting or prone). Once asleep the caster may send their consciousness into the Dreamscape, enabling them to sense the minds of sleeping targets within 100 yards of the channeller in the physical realm. With a successful search roll, the caster may find and target a specific mind. This provides contact for spells that otherwise require sight. If the dream caster has been within a target’s dreams in the past 24 hours, they will gain a '''+1/+2/+3''' insight bonus to all casts against that target.
The caster may awaken at will as a standard action. This will immediately sever contact with sleeping targets.


Dream Walker - Influence people while they sleep
Unless otherwise specified,
 
* Targets must be either be visually seen by the caster (line of sight may not be broken), or the caster must contact them through proximity in the Dreamscape.
Nightmares - Fear/deadly effects that linger.
* There is no difference between a target being naturally asleep, magically asleep, or unconscious. The method by which the target has entered this state is not relevant.
 
* The caster retains full powers during magically imposed sleep as if naturally asleep
 
* The caster is unable to access powers if "asleep" due to being unconscious, such as being in negative health from lethal damage.
'''Domain Power: Phantasmal Sleeper''' When you fall asleep, you may choose to have your body fall asleep and separate your spirit from your body as a ghostly phantasm that remains awake. Your phantasm retains your physical senses, and may move at your normal speed within Rank x10 yards of your body. Your phantasm may also use any domain power that affects other targets which are already asleep, or are self only and sensory in nature (Sight, sense, hearing, etc), using it's normal rules. For any abilities used, use the phantasms location for the casters location. Return your phantasm to the same location as your body to wake up normally.
 
At Rank 3, your phantasm may become magically concealed at Rank strength as a standard action. This concealment may be pierced with detection spells greater than Rank.
 
Additionally:
* Your phantasm may return to your body as a standard action from any distance, waking yourself up suddenly, leaving you flatfooted from the shock but able to speak and move.
* You may enter a sleep state at will, at any time, under any condition.
* You may retain your body form while sleeping, allowing you to sleep while sitting, standing, crouching, etc... Sleeping while riding in or on a moving object is possible, but may be at penalties, chance of waking up, or chance at falling as determined by the Storyteller.
 
 
 
Notes for all powers in this domain:
* Unless otherwise specified, targets must be within Rank x10 yards of the caster
* Unless otherwise specified, targets must be either be visually seen by the caster (line of sight may not be broken), or the caster must have a means of contacting the target's mind. This includes options from other Sources, such as Seed: Contact and Magecraft: Telepathy
* Unless otherwise specified there is no difference between naturally asleep, magically asleep, or unconscious from any method, in regard to whether or not a target is asleep or not.
