Dreamwalking

| Dreamwalking in Marillia actually has nothing to do with Dream Walking in Marvel. |
Dreamwalking is the art of entering the dreams of others, and observing, influencing, or controlling them. It is a form of oneiromancy.
Dreamwalking is a potent and dangerous art, forbidden in most oneiromantic circles. Even its most benign forms—for example, visiting and observing others' dreams— are arguably unethical.
Its more advanced forms can be devastating. Skilled dreamwalkers can send their enemies nightmares (sometimes with the effect of inducing a real-world heart attack), or plant fears deep in their subconscious Inception style. They can fool people into thinking that their dream is their waking life, and they can nest someone's dreams so when they "awake" from one, they're really in another dream. They can even imprison people in their own dreams—for example, a horrific nightmare—and prevent them from ever waking up.
According to Koley, Sorhan is the greatest dreamwalker in Marillia, after he killed his master, the Great Dreamer.
