The modifier is what the engine executes. The page around it is what humans argue about. Both are canon.

Dream — Psychology · Neurology

"Mind is primary. Thought shapes reality. Will creates world."

Imagination is belief. Faith defeats all. Dream scryers bend reality through pure intention — telepathy, telekinesis and forgotten shadows.

The science of interiority, consciousness, archetype, and egregore. Includes depth psychology, symbolic magic, ritual technology, and any system that treats thoughtforms as citizens. In CCRU terms: the egregore layer, self-fulfilling entities, narrative possession, techno-tarot.

The noosphere approaches. Palace of Dreams is early infrastructure.

Cost Tier

At cost 3, Palace of Dreams is an early-round play. Low-cost Sources shape which Zones open first.

Goetic Binding: Andrealphus

The digit-sum of cost 3 is 3, binding Andrealphus — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 3: Viral / Chaotic

Spreading corruption and contagion. Where patterns replicate uncontrollably. The zone of exponential growth, memes, viruses, and cascade failures. Information wants to be free — Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.

Exponential growth territory. Palace of Dreams at Zone 3 compounds every round it survives.

Playing Palace of Dreams at cost 3 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 3. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 3, the player gains 3 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Yog-Sothoth

The Psychic Dissolution. All individual consciousnesses merge into singular noosphere — dream-logic replaces physical causality, consensus reality dissolves.

Service of Yog-Sothoth through Dream-aligned cards like Palace of Dreams accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.

The Mind vs Matter Axis

Emanation vs incarnation. Is reality downstream of consciousness (Mind) or upstream of it (Matter)? The oldest philosophical dispute. Every idealism vs materialism debate is a move along this axis.

Palace of Dreams occupies the Dream side of this axis. Decks containing Palace of Dreams cannot contain Atom cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Glitch, Abyss.

Card Tribals

Palace of Dreams carries class Place, race Goblin, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Place units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Palace of Dreams is a concrete instance of Archetypal Platonism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Palace of Dreams to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

Cosmic horror says the universe is indifferent and incomprehensible. Eigendark says the universe is indifferent and incomprehensible and here's the API documentation.

Palace of Dreams remains in the Grimoire across all timelines simultaneously.
