Dreamer

You led a normal, mundane life until you began to have vivid dreams that have guided you toward your calling. These dreams started with a faint voice whispering singular words and would often wake you up in a cold sweat. Over time, the force had revealed itself to be something seemingly benevolent. Perhaps you've had a dream to go forth and do important things, help a cause, or defeat a great threat upon the world. You have traveled far from your home and family, and given up your former way of life in order to fulfill these dreams and find out what they mean. During your travels you have kept a journal of what your 'mentor' has tried to teach you during your slumber. Details are often missed and forgotten quickly after waking up, but you get better at remembering as time goes on and your journaling improves. You often have a sense of déjà vu and have honed your senses to pick up on small details that may relate to your dreams.
