A Prayer for the Dreams

Eigendark Grimoire · Dream faction · Blessing · Prompt · Cost 3

A Prayer for the Dreams occupies a specific position on the Oktagram — Dream, Mind axis, opposed to Atom. Its role in any deck is governed by that placement before it is governed by its rules text.

Card Text

The printed text. The enforceable contract between summoner and engine:

Every modifier is a clause in a binding originally drafted by people who didn't know they were writing API docs. A Prayer for the Dreams inherits the clause unchanged.

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.

Mind vs Matter (Dream vs Atom). 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.

Yog-Sothoth exists in all minds once the threshold is crossed. A Prayer for the Dreams is a test invocation.
