Muma

Name:  Muma
Notes:  A unique race of beings, the Muma are non-corporeal in nature.  Normally, they exist only in a realm known as the Dream World that corporeal beings visit during R.E.M. sleep and is actually formed by the collective dreams of every living entity in the universe.  Normally, Muma survive by feeding on the brain waves put out during sleep cycles, a rogue group found their way to the corporeal plane where they can only exist in host bodies.
Of those Muma who have taken host bodies, there are three types:  those simply along for the ride, simply glad to experience through their host's senses the 'waking world';  then there are those who symbiotically share their body with their host;  the final group are considered the worst, they force their host to experience nightmare after nightmare until the host's mind is worn down to the point the Muma can take over the host's body and use it as their own.
As it is, those Muma who symbiotically share their host's body are at war with the parasitical Muma who take over their host's body.  Due to their unique natures, Muma fight in a dream plane, with each Muma having a unique 'Dream Garden' as their 'safe zone' where they can interact with their host's mind as well as other Muma.  Each Muma has its own unique Dream Garden, and each has a different look and feel.
To date, however, historically there have been examples of Muma that have entered the physical world in their own physical bodies.  These bodies have their own unique issues regarding things like what food and drink they can handle.  This is a very rare event as only two such individuals have been known, both of which have had their share of issues from the cross-over.
