Dreamlands Time

Time flows differently in the Dreamlands. A normal dreamer who falls asleep in the Dreamlands always returns to the waking world, but a skilled Dreamer, properly prepared traveler, or someone who is lost within the dream can sleep in the Dreamlands without returning. The major motivation most dream travelers have for remaining in the Dreamlands is to avoid losing progress on an adventure or task or not falling for the tricks of the dream which would result in being lost within the dream. For example, if you sail in your dream form from your home city across the ocean to another continent in the Dreamlands and then awaken, the next time you enter the Dreamlands, you will be in your home Dreamlands city again. If you did not complete your business on the other continent, you would have to make an entirely new trip to get to the other continent again. Fortunately, for a skilled Dreamer the length of time spent in the Dreamlands bears almost no relation to how long the physical body is asleep. Even when you remain in the Dreamlands for weeks or months, you will awaken at dawn in the waking world on the day after you fell asleep.
