The Dreamer

Asleep, deep within the well of your dreams, you are greeted by a peculiar being, with open arms and an estranged smile. They introduce themselves to you disguised as a lover, a friend, an enemy or family. With sweet words, you get an offer to make a pact of your wildest dreams. As you stand there listing to honey words, with your hand agape, the being grabs it quick, firmly to shake. With the deal sealed you soon find yourself half awake.

Your patron is an ancient being that was lost within the dreams of all that can be in a state of sleep. On your first interaction, they can appear as someone in your past, a being that you would find comfort in, or someone who drives you to dream. As you meet more within your unhampered repose, the appearance of this ancient slowly changes shape, looking more twisted and fantastical as the dimension they partake. 

The few who have obtained powers from the realm of dreams have crafted a fair number of theories over the few centuries. One of which that has been believed by most, is that the patron of dreams is the same patron all warlocks come to meet. Those who believe this theory call this being the Sandman. But in the end, none know what they really are, or what they truly look like. But what confuses most, is that no one really knows what this being truly wants.
