Moon Cycle 12
❖ MOON CYCLE 12 ❂ 03/21/10 - 03/28/10
Phase: Full Moon. The sky is bright, and every night seems more beautiful and alive than the last.
Weather: Temperatures have piqued in the mid-60s, and the snow is finally melting. Throughout the week the flora and fauna of Somarium will finally return, greenery and flowers slowly coming into bloom. There will be some showers and rain off and on throughout the week.
Effects: Becoming a Dreamwalker. Every night, your characters will undergo an out-of-body experience - literally. Like the ghosts of Somarium, the spirit of each character will physically detach from their bodies at the strike of midnight until roughly 6am. Those not asleep will drift out of their bodies as 'Som Ghosts' and gain the ability to interact with another's dreams.
On Friday, characters will find themselves unable to return to their bodies until Sunday. The entire weekend will be spent as 'Ghosts' like the Overlord and her servants.
Notes:
This event will last until Sunday, March 28th. The event tag is !moon: cycle 12. On Friday, everyone who chooses will remain a Dreamwalker through the end of Sunday.
As always, leave your questions below! Remember that this event is not mandatory, and it is up to you to decide whether or not your character will become a Dreamwalker. However, any dreams are fair game to become Interactive, so have fun with it!

Notes:
- Out-of-body Experience?!: That's right! All of your characters will become temporary dreamwalkers. The bodies that your characters leave behind will not be dead. Instead, they will function normally in the spirit's absence, like marionettes in a coma... with their strings cut. You get the picture. Ghosts will then be able to do what any Somarium spirit is able to do. They can drift through walls, float around, etc. They are also able to handle solid objects and manipulate their environment like a tangible body with some concentration and effort. However, this expends energy, and it is not recommended that you start throwing things around like a poltergeist at random. You will wake up with a very unrestful sleep, after all!
Som Ghost form is officially called DREAMWALKER form. Read below for information on Dreamwalking. - Interactive Dreams. For only this week (for now), characters in DREAMWALKER form will be able to interact with explicitly-labeled dreams. That's right! Dreams can be shaped with multiple invaders! This is how it will work:
1. The dreamer will make a dream post labeled INTERACTIVE DREAM in their character journals. The initial post will be essentially a 'set up' for that character's dream world and scenario. It will look very much like the first post of a log, and can be as open-ended as the dreamer wishes.
2. The Dreamwalker may invade any INTERACTIVE DREAM at will. However, they will be unable to manipulate the dream environment, nor are they able to change the scenery. They will be able to interact with the dreamer his or herself as they wish. For example, say Inspector Javert is in the woods with an axe, and he's about to axe himself to death. A DREAMWALKER can stop Javert from swinging the axe, but he can not turn the axe into a flower, nor can he change the scenery from the woods to a desert.
3. Your character will not be able to invade or possess another person through the dream. The dreams do not act as some kind of a soul gate to the other person and there is no way to enter another body. Your character is a DREAMWALKER, not an actual ghost.
4. All of this is completely voluntary. Interactive dreams are done by the player's and the Dreamwalker's choice. Dreamwalkers are not permitted to invade dreams that are not labeled as Interactive.
