Your character has a connection to primordial forces, ancient truths that can be seen and comprehended only through dreams. He gains insight into secrets through reverie and visions, finding answers to questions he couldn’t normally get by mundane means. Behind the lie of the so-called real world, dreams reveal the world as it really is — from a certain point of view. Through effort of will, your character can even channel this insight into action.

Once per game session, your character can use this Merit to gain a supernatural insight concerning a question or topic. Activating this ability requires at least one hour spent in sleep, a trance or in an activity focused exclusively on accessing an altered state of consciousness. The Storyteller then rolls the character’s Wits + Composure in secret. A successful roll results in one clue per dot of Dream.

The meaning of these clues is hidden behind allegory, symbols and archetypes. Dreams rarely answer questions directly, typically relying on symbolism and images to convey information. A thaumaturge seeking a specific person’s location wouldn’t see his address, but landmarks nearby could lead the way: a river, a tower or even the face of a man walking by at dusk. The answer has the potential to resolve a problem. This Merit is a tool for the Storyteller to help drive events of a story.
