from the 30 unusual asks, 9 (do they dream) for ayen. shadowfell gets Funko sometimes I wanna know if it fucks with her dreams

9. Does your character dream, or are their nights filled with an empty blackness? Describe a dream they’ve had or a night they couldn’t sleep and what they did to preoccupy their time.

So Ayen is an elf (a fact which I honestly quite regularly forget) which means that she doesn’t technically sleep? BUT I am a big fan of trance dreams, and specifically of trance dreams being just a little bit skewed from sleep dreams. More autonomy because you’re more aware that you’re dreaming, maybe more realistic/a variation on a memory, reliving it and getting to do things the “right” way, and so on. All that to say! I think she does dream, and she dreams pretty vividly. 

Honestly, of the things about Ayen that the Shadowfell fucked with, her dreams weren’t one of them! All things considered, she had a pretty decent time in the Shadowfell -courtesy of Mom- so we’re not really struggling with Trauma Dreams, and from what I read on the wiki it doesn’t seem like the Energy of the plane attacks dreams specifically. I think a lot of the time her dreams are her reliving notable moments from the day in a stream of consciousness type way, which may turn into reliving older memories if her brain makes a connection to something that’s happened in the past, which might connect to something else, and so on. This is in no way official WoTC Elf Lore I am just running my mouth and letting words come out.
