Dreamwalker

Rules governing Advent classes

Their right foot in the physical plane, their left foot in the astral plane, the Dreamwalker moves forward with intention but with no destination in mind. With an intimate understanding of the tether between the lotus chakra and the crown chakra, students of this ki path can enter and even manipulate the dreams of other creatures. While this is the ability that brings them such notoriety among mortals, it is not why Ki spirits take notice of the Dreamwalker. Walking the Astral Plane, they see the connections between all living things, they see how narrow the gap between mortals and spirits is. This alarms some spirits, and fascinates others

The path of the Dreamwalker is one of polarities. It can be used to harm or heal the spirits of mortal creatures, and provides the choice to avoid or engage in the chaotic world of powerful spirits
