The World of Dreams,

!! Dreamwalking

Those with the [Talent|Weaves] of dreamwalking can enter %%ot Tel'aran'rhiod%% in their sleep and walk through the world of dreams. The ability to dreamwalk is not connected to the [One Power|Op]. ([ACoS,Ch10]) The [Wise Ones|Aiel] believe that male dreamwalkers are extremely rare. ([ACoS,Ch10])

There are other ways one may enter the world of dreams. Certain %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%% allow the wearer to enter %%ot Tel'aran'rhiod%%. A [channeler|True Source] who is strong enough to [Travel|Weaves#t] can open a gateway to %%ot Tel'aran'rhiod%% and enter it physically. The [Wise Ones|Aiel] consider this a bad thing.

Between reality and %%ot Tel'aran'rhiod%% there is a gap which looks like space filled with stars. Each star is the dream of someone sleeping. A dreamwalker may also enter this gap. The dreamwalker may observe or even enter another's dream. The dreamwalker may drag someone into their own dream, but the [Wise Ones|Aiel] consider this an evil thing.

[Aes Sedai] shield their dreams so they may not be spied on. Male [channelers|True Source] can also shield their dreams but the shield is different. A female shield is hard and clear while a male shield is murky and cloudy. ([ACoS,Ch10])

!! Dreaming

The [Talent|Weaves] of having dreams that foretell the future. This [Talent|Weaves] is not connected to the [One Power|Op]. ([ACoS,Ch10]) Dreaming is closely linked with [Foretelling|Weaves#f]. ([TGH,Ch12]) For specific dreams see the section entitled [Prophecies].
