This is distinctly done in an effort to not overshadow the Dreaming-task and prevent Dream 2 from becoming OP.<br />* Most often, Motleys swear the Dreaming task as part of their Motley-pledge so that they can engage in Dreamscaping on each other, not necessarily for Nightmares, but instead for the other three benefits (Healing Sleep, Stress Relief and Sleep Teaching). This is done because you can't Dreamscape your own dreams (C:tL 195).Dennis Lugo-Collhttp://lesbeauxreves.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
