I'm working on a list of references to sleep/dreams/memories, creatures who can affect those, and/or just general starting point references for them.

Ourselves: lucid dreaming.

And yes, I'm off to bed in a bit -- just one last run through the friendslist page to try to keep up with the Torchwood meltdown.

I got the impression there'd been one, yeah. Good luck, and thanks!

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

Neil Gaiman's "Sandman"

The nursery-rhyme 'Winken, Blinken and Nod"

"The Land of Counterpane"

The dream/underworld connection in the Epic of Gilgamesh

Off to check Gilgamesh and thanks!

Our own beloved or feared dead appear in dreams.

::smacks forehead:: I don't believe I forgot that. Thanks, Keerawa!

Native Americans believe that the shamans who work "black magic" can "dreamwalk"...essentially, control their dreams from the outside.

Most of them, I could confirm off Encyclopedia Mythica -- thank you for hunting these down for me!
