[h3]The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.[/h3] ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Every night we voyage to unknown places. Flying, laughing, running away, loving and fighting. Those memories stay with us, shape us, although we don’t remember even a fraction of them. Why would we want to deny these pleasures from our colonists?
Thanks to this mod, your pawns gain the ability to have nightdreams. Dreams aim to reflect the pawn’s situation and personality as chosen by our framework’s clever algorithm. Stories carried by dreams are hand-crafted by a professional writer.
But stories are not the only feature of this mod. Dreams usually have a short-term effect on the pawns, but some leave long-lasting consequences. This adds a particular element of instability to your colony, as dreams can keep your colonists sane... or push them even further into madness.
[h2]Amount of Dreams: 100[/h2]
[h1]Overview[/h1]
- [b]The next time your pawn falls asleep, they will get a dream thought[/b] as seen in the Needs tab.
- Dreams have different qualities and requirements, depending on dozens of different factors. For example, there are dreams for [b]cannibals[/b], [b]prisoners[/b], [b]widowed pawns[/b], [b]that one animal-eared humanoid race[/b], and [b]exceedingly ecstatic pawns[/b].
- Dream changes and other features can be customised in the [b]mod settings[/b].
- [b]Sleepwalk mechanic[/b] allows pawns to get up at night to do… well, you will see. Think twice before you allow a psychopathic cannibalistic sleepwalker into your colony...

[h1]Balance[/h1]
[b]Our definition of chaos might not be the same as yours.[/b] That is why this mod ships with extensive mod settings that allow great customisation. It simply adds another element to consider when accommodating your pawns’ needs. Feel free to fine-tune dream chances to suit your playstyle.
[h1]Compatibility[/h1]
This mod can be added to existing saves without problems, but removing it might cause some issues (which are fixable most of the time). We are not currently aware of any hard incompatibilities with other mods.
It is compatible with most race mods. If some issues pop up, let us know, and we will try to patch them as soon as possible.
[h1]Inspiration[/h1]
The main inspiration for this mod are H.P. Lovecraft’s dreamland stories: [i]The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath[/i], [i]The Cats of Ulthar[/i], and [i]Celephaïs[/i], among others.
