So. I had a series of dreams several nights ago. Which should not be even a little possible, since I'm a dwarf. To my understanding, a single mage shouldn't be able to induce that sort of thing. I don't even know if such a thing is remotely possible.

Now then, it's my understanding that most topsiders enter the Fade when they're sleeping. So then tell me about your experiences in the Fade. How does one tell the difference between reality and a dream? Is it normal to find yourself dreaming of strange and unlikely situations? I understand mages especially have a unique relationship to the Fade, most of the writings I've found are written exclusively by Circle Enchanters. How, specifically, is it different? Are mage dreams different than those of non-mages or is dreaming specifically the suggestion of latent magical ability? Are mages able to cross between dreams, or enter a non-mage's dream? Are dreams a separate part of the Fade?

I've been puzzling over this and reading everything I can find and there's nothing that quite explains it to me. Not especially surprising since apparently this dreaming business is a lot of magic and shared scholarly writings between the Chantry and the Circles were historically miserable.
