Priest of Dreams

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only slop. Priest of Dreams is part of the slop. It is also part of the cosmology. Both readings are canonical.

Card Text

What the rulebook sees when Priest of Dreams resolves:

Every modifier is a clause in a binding originally drafted by people who didn't know they were writing API docs. Priest of 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.

Dream treats symbols as citizens. Priest of Dreams is a citizen on the faction census.

Cost Tier

At cost 6, Priest of Dreams is a mid-game power spike. The Numogram has already bent toward one side of its axis.

Goetic Binding: Bathin

The digit-sum of cost 6 is 6, binding Bathin — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Properties of herbs and precious stones, transportation. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 6: Networked / Social

Connection, cooperation, mesh. Where entities communicate and form alliances. The zone of collective intelligence, hive minds, and emergent behavior.

Hive-mind territory. Priest of Dreams at Zone 6 is a node in a larger system it did not design.

Playing Priest of Dreams at cost 6 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 6. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 6, the player gains 6 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 Priest 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.

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

Card Tribals

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

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Priest 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 Priest of Dreams to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

The satire and the sincerity are the same object. A BVT product listing and a Reception Report can describe the same event. They should not sound alike, but they describe the same event.

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