Dream 1
Your friend beckons you, inviting you to the inn for a drink. Others are drinking there, but you notice that you are not. You try to catch up, but your friend has gone down a staircase. You follow, but it is extremely steep and narrow. You remember that you can swim through earth and stone when you need to. You hold your breath and start swimming. It is utterly dark inside the stone.

Dream 2
At first you feel only your own breathing and a dim awareness of how tired you are. You feel, more than see, the sun setting and then continuing to shine through the earth from the other side. As the sun sinks lower, the earth below you lets the light through, showing up chambers and passages. The light grows very bright and you try to look away.

Dream 3
You are going down, down, deeper into the earth. You see nothing, but your feet find their way. You turn a corner and see that the tunnel now before you opens onto a blue sky.

Dream 4
You are driving a cart laden with gold and gems. As you bounce along, you look back and see the treasure trickling away, unprotected, out of the chests and over the sides of the cart. You turn back around and realize that the hands you are using to hold the reins are themselves made of gold.

Dream 5
You are high up on the edge of a cloud. You can see the earth turning slowly beneath you. The warm wind caresses you from all sides, but you feel a cold emptiness above you. You are afraid to look up.

Dream 6
You are scrambling up a steep part of the mountainside. You see to your left a pile of large stones and know, although it is nearly vertical, that it must be a cairn. You hear a voice crying out and feel pity. You close your eyes and see the smoky darkness, and then you know whose voice that must be.

Dream 7
You are a child again, walking in a line of wagons. It seems you are fleeing from something, but you cannot remember what. A girl smiles, beckons to you, shows you her fist, and opens it to reveal a gem of many colors. You look back at her face and see that she is blank with grief.

Dream 8
You are standing in a clearing. The sun reaches down and gilds your hair. You feel it tingling. When you turn to your companions, you see them lying on the ground, still as stone. You feel a rush of strength as you wake up.

Dream 9
You are underwater in an underground pool. As you struggle to stand up in the water, a kind of membrane across the surface restrains you. You can breathe, but barely. You close your eyes and see a naked and wounded human figure doing what you are attempting, cutting through that restraint with one long arm.

Dream 10
You meet your love in a doorway filled with light. Before you kiss, your eyes meet and you can see a kind of ease that you never saw before. Your lips touch and you are surprised at how tactile this feels, more real than real. As you close your eyes, you feel yourself blend with the dream and slowly awaken.

Dream 11
You look in through a window and see a woman attending to tasks while a small boy plays at her feet. The wind kicks up inside her dwelling, then dies down, then kicks up again. Each time, it blows the material of her dress up about her, obscuring her face. When the wind dies away completely, she is a different person andd the child is gone. |

mao, I'm not 100% certain how I will use these myself. I suppose as a kind of suggestive adventure hook or clue. But I figure, why not post them here, they're all in one place for me, plus if someone else likes one they can use it.

Something you might wnt to consider is adding Dream Lands. The Lovecrafty story "The Quest for unknown Kadath"(not he right name for it)can be very inspiring. I put a Dream land in everything fantasy.

Dream 12
You are atop a tower. You change out the lenses on a telescope. The case seems to be made of soft stone. As you turn the telescope around and close one eye before putting the other to the eyepiece, you see, with your closed eye, an ageless woman in a plain dress standing to the side, observing you. She looks distant but amused. Around her you see a shimmering flutter of activity that you do not understand.
Do you look into the scope?

Dream 13
Before you set off on your own, you were an apprentice. You see the young woman who is to train you in the most basic tasks. You want to kiss her and ask where she keeps her lips. She rubs the back of her neck and says she would keep them here, if she had any. You wonder how she will smoke the tobacco you intend to give her as a gift. She starts to cry. You look over at a lantern and see your face and hers reflected clearly in the glass. You look dead, while she looks well. She scolds you for gazing dreamily off at nothing, calling you a storylover.

Dream 14
In a shallow pond, colorful carp are swimming back and forth from edge to edge, as if in a race. Two of them are carrying weapons. One of those is a pretty blue fish. She swims on her back with a flexible dagger on her stomach. She holds it up into the air, where it acts as a sail and speeds her through the water. One fish, speaking quietly in your mind about all that you see, has been transformed into a gigantic metallic heart hovering over the water. You back away quickly, your field of view widens, and you see a huge serpent flexing madly, its head and the tip of its tail bursting out of the water.

Dream 15
You move slowly through the complex, leaving your friends behind in their slumber. With your secret knowledge, you will be able to defeat your nemesis, extinguishing all his plans before they even catch fire. Your victory is assured. At this moment, someone enters you and settles inside. You return to the chamber where the others are sleeping.

Dream 17
You lie on your back with your head tilted up. Looking down at your body, you see a thin area of foreshortened grassy carpet. Most of your field of vision is the dome of the heavens, far deeper and more alive with light than you ever noticed before. As you strain against the earth and wish you could fly to that distant vault of ensorcelling black sky, you become aware of young hands that rise up from the earth and scoop away your body until nothing is left.

Fever Dream 1
In the midst of a field of darkness, you see a lone figure pushing a wheelbarrow, both of them outlined in red. They leave trails as they move, and as your weakened mind tracks them, they seem to be reset in their former position, only to retrace their own footsteps. How many times this happens, you do not know, as you seem to fall in and out of sleep as you watch these events.
Now you see the figure closer up. Now a more even red color against a gray background dotted with splashes of light, the figure is a man burying some small objects under a thin layer of stones and earth. He evens out the ground and begins to hurry away in your direction, finally looking up at you as you wake up in a sweat.
