//Hi everyone, if you want to start your own expedition as a victim of the Nightmare Curse you’re more than welcome to. There’s a few details you’ll need to put at the start though:

A few details about the dreamer. This will help the Dreamwalkers with their preparations. For example, if the dreamer is known to be afraid of heights, Dreamwalkers would consider packing parachutes, unless they are capable of flight themselves.

The setting. When someone enters your Dream Space, what do they expect to see? Pictures will help a lot. Think about sounds and smells too. If you want, consider recommending background music to set the mood. Does the Dream Space have its own name, like Sunset Skytown or something?

That’s it! We don’t need to know what the Nightmare Curse looks like until further on in the expedition, though there’s nothing wrong with it appearing at the start if you want that.

//Dream Space Guidelines:

Excessive damage to terrain or inhabitants of a Dream Space will result in psychological damage to the dreamer. Don’t be too reckless now.

More than one Dreamwalker may enter a Dream Space, but try to avoid crowding it up. Take turns if you must.

The dreamer may appear within their own Dream Space as a supporting character.

If the dreamer wakes up, all Dreamwalkers will be ejected from the dream. This will likely happen if the dreamer dies within the Dream Space, or 7-8 hours after falling asleep.

If a Dreamwalker dies within the Dream Space, they will be ejected from the dream feeling a sensation of fatigue and shock. This may prevent them from re-entering for a while.

The Nightmare Curse manifests itself as a “boss monster”, typically matching the dreamer’s fears.

The Nightmare Curse usually comes with smaller monsters scattered about the Dream Space.

The Nightmare Curse is usually played by the same actor as the dreamer.

Defeating the Nightmare Curse will cause the dream to revert to a peaceful setting, wiping out all nightmare monsters. It is best to exit at this point, but you may throw a party if you wish.

The Nightmare Curse doesn’t necessarily need to be beaten in one night. Progress is generally saved between nights, although the curse recovers a little between nights.

// If you’re planning on making a dream space which is heavy on horror (I’d do an example but tbh I suck at horror), with gory/disturbing themes, I recommend adding the [Horror] tag to the title so people more on the squeamish side can avoid them.
