Dream travel

Dream travel was a psionic devotion of the psychoportation discipline that allowed the psionicist to physically transport their body to distant locations by passing through the Region of Dreams.Manual of the Planes 3 edition detailed an 8-level wizard/sorcerer transmutation spell of the same name with almost identical descriptive text as the psionic power described in the Expanded Psionics Handbook. However, there seems to be no references to this spell specifically existing in the Realms.
==Effects==
This psionic power required psionicist to be asleep to utilize it. Once asleep, they would be mentally transported to the Region of Dreams within the Ethereal Plane, and they had to begin fashioning within their mind a journey from their present location to the destination they desired to be. Older iterations of the power limited travel to locations within the same plane of existence that the psionicist was currently in, though later developments found that it was possible to dream travel to other planes of existence, so long as there existed creatures within those places that dreamed.
It was possible for psionicists to take multiple passengers within them, depending upon the extent of their psionic powers, though it was slightly more difficult to take nonsapient creatures. This required the passengers to also be asleep and physically touching both the psionicist and each other.
Dream travel allowed for adventuring a fair distance throughout the curtain that was the Region of Dreams, participating in a mengaerie of dreams along the way to their destination. Travel within the dreamscape was not without risk, as many obstacles could be encountered along the way and the psionicist and their passengers could become trapped in a dream if it was a particularly powerful dreamscape. For early iterations of the power, it was possible for individual passengers to fall slightly short of the desired destination and being killed within the dreamscape would cause the psionicist to awaken from their sleep, having not moved from the location where they began their journey. Later iterations of the power, which physically transported bodies to the Region of Dreams, carried the risk that passengers could become seperated from their psion if not careful and would thus remain stuck within the plane instead of awaking to the desired destination.
The user and any passengers physically remained in the location they were asleep at during the duration of this journey. Once the desired destination was reached, their bodies as well as anything they were wearing and carrying would fade away from the location they were sleeping at. Simultaneously, their bodies would fading into existence at the desired location, fully awake but still within the posture they were in when asleep. Later developments of the power instead physically transported the body into the Regions of Dreams.
Older iterations of dream travel limited the distance to within of where the psion slept and journeys always took approximately eight hours to complete. Later developments of dream travel expanded the possible range between locations to , with each requiring one minute of travel. Transference between planes of existence through use of dream travel always took around one to four hours of uninterrupted travel.
