Fae and dreams...
It's commonly known that fae are magical creatures, and when reading about the fae you may find many references to dreams. Dreams have far more to do with magic than brainwave patterns.BackI remember once a friend of mine asked me about my dreams, what they were like. I said that my dreams were silly, didn't make any sense, told me nothing I didn't already know, were unimportant to me despite my desire for them to be, and that I rarely dream at all. (Despite what some scientists say, I do not believe everyone dreams every night. They say that because they equate dreams with no more than reaching REM sleeping patterns in the brain. Dreams are far more magical and deserve more respect than that. If I dream, I know that I dreamt, even if I don't remember a single thing about the dream itself. You should keep that in mind too.) Anyhow, when I told my friend about my dreams, I asked him why he wanted to know. He said "Fae are connected to dreams.", and of course, he was right. I felt sad. I felt like a fae failure. Here is something important to fae, something they are well known for, a realm belonging to them, and I was a weak dreamer. I felt unworthy of my fae heritage. But one day that changed, and I saw that things worked a little differently than I had expected. In December of 1999 I had the fortune of flying down to visit that particular friend of mine, and others. On that trip I dreamt almost every night, and profoundly. I came to realise that I hardly dream, if at all when I'm stressed or surrounded by what I call "black-hole people" (life-sucking people, read: killjoys). I was relieved to discover that I still had the possibility of developing my dreammagicks and that my lack of potency in the dream realm was not my fault, but rather circumstance.
Over the course of my visit that same friend pointed out to me that my dreampowers as a fae may work differently than I thought. Instead of working with my own personal dreams, my dreammagicks seem to work outwards. He called me a "dream enhancer"; that I affect other people's dreams just by my physical presence. After sharing dreams with another friend of mine on that same trip I came to accept the possibility that he may be right. I was glad to see that I had potential to grow stronger in that field, and now that I know why I sometimes experience obstacles, and dreams have gained a new importance to me, I look forward to the growth ahead.
