Stunt: “Invade someone’s dream”
You must have a synecdoche link to the target, and the target must be asleep. If neither of these things are true, then you exhaust the spell and nothing happens, except that you are sent Reeling.
If the spell does work, then you fall Unconscious. Your consciousness invades the target’s dreams.
The dream-scape is a strange place, where you may be attacked by all sorts of shades. In the dream, you appear with all of your Cognoscente’s Trappings, and that’s all.
The dream lasts for a few hours – even though people sleep all night, they drift in and out of dream-sleep. If you are rendered Dying or Dead in the dream, then you wake up, Afraid, and you cannot refresh this Gift until the next Respite. If you are Overkilled, then you become Terrified (until cured), and you cannot Refresh this Gift until the next Chapter. Otherwise, the Gift refreshes when the dream ends.
