Dream Striding:
With this abilitity you can enter a sleeping persons dreams; this is a battle in itself since the mind will try and reject you at every turn. Shorter strides are by far the best and the safest; longer strides bring in a great danger to the personage striding. Dream striding is meant for the viewing and slight manipulation of dreams; do it enough and a person could lose their mind. However not every dreamer can be manipulated; and not every dream can be viewed. Some minds are so strong that even while in the depths of slumber can throw off your unwanted entry. As a side note; humans have a harder time destroying a demon; the energies associated with what is happening are both fierce and Dream striding is the basis of which dream eating is formed around.
Pros: Can view and manipulate dreams.
((Note: Cannot be used in day dreams.))
Cons:
Stay to long:
-your very being could be absorbed
-you could be bound to that person's mind (and that person could after a point have you start to emerge from their mind as some sort of powerful summon.)
Don't stay long enough:
-You could lose alot of power, the experiance is hard to get used to and too short of strides have a nasty tendancy of draining alot of energy.
-Your own mind may stay in while your body comes back, devoid of life. (giving the person a mental guadian more or less)
-or nothing.
Dream eating:
With this ability you can eat dream of peoples when you dream stride; they go hand and hand when used. The reason for dream eating is to replace food when you wish to keep something alive. it provides roughly one meal a dream eaten. Longer/larger dreams can go up to 2 meals. However like food dreams have different tastes/quaility. A scary dream will taste different to every dream eater, as is with every different type of dream. And not every dream will feel as filling either.
Pros:
-You can keep yourself going when prey is scarce
-You don't need to really hunt
-Can be used to take nightmares away
-Can be used to wipe dreams away giving a person a peaceful and resting sleep
Cons:
See as per Dream Striding
-may not actually get a meal if the dream is too small.
