Even More Dreamscapes for the Dreaming World
Even More Dreamscapes for the Dreaming World
For those new to the Dreaming World, Dreamers go to the Dreaming World whenever they fall asleep. A Dreamscape is a representation of a Dreamer's mind and a Mortido is a hostile monster made from suicidal thoughts. If a Mortido isn't listen then it's because the Dreamer likes living enough that the Mortido isn't noticeable. Also everyone wakes up in the Dreaming World wearing a stuffed erect codpiece. Further reading here and here for those who want more context.

Questions, comments and critiques are all welcome. Which Dreamscape did you like the most?

Pillow Fort is perhaps the most comforting while the Valhalla has the epic feel to it like Eric's banging his head like crazy on top of the rainbow while a huge bloodbath goes underneath him.
Also are these the only dreams your characters can be in? Like do some just have to live through the nightmares or uncomfortable Dreamscapes every time they go to sleep?
Dreamers always enter the Dreaming World (and their Dreamscape) each time they fall asleep. They stop having normal dreams/nightmares.
Dreamers are stuck with their Dreamscapes, no matter how horrifying. However it is possible for a Dreamscape to change over time to reflect a Dreamer's changing personality.
