Dream entity

The Entity in human form

A Dream entity was discovered by the Lincoln City branch of The Torchwood Institute in mid-2019 after it infiltrated Shane's mind causing him to be stuck in a sleeping state whilst constantly dreaming, the Entity's true motives were unknown however it is believed that it wasn't actually evil but had been observing the new Torchwood: Lincoln City branch and chose Shane to question him on his commitments to Torchwood through a series of mind games.

## Characteristics

Being an entity, it had no physical form but could appear as a large light anomaly in the real world however in people's dreams - The Entity could appear as anything it chose to be and showed great awareness and knowledge of the person it was targeting as it looked through their mind to manufacturer artificial dreams whilst the target is sleeping, when choosing a target it would often choose people that it felt it could prove a point too leaving people to believe it searched for the mental high ground when visiting people.

## Powers and Abilities

* Dream walking - The Entity can enter the dreams of humans once they're asleep.
* Illusions - The Entity was able to make anything from thin air whilst its target was dreaming.
* Shapeshifting - The Entity can alter its appearance to look like anyone it pleases once in a person's dreams.

## Vulnerabilities

* Awake people - The Entity is rendered powerless when a person wakes up meaning it cannot do anything to an awake person due to the Entity only inhabiting dreams.

## Episodes

### 1.04: What Dreams are Made Of

Shane awakes in his room and finds a girl of a similar age waking up next to him, he is confused as she is sure that she is his girlfriend however Shane is convinced he is single, the girl herself looks like a mix of all his previous crushes mashed into one person - after a random car driver stops, them too looking like a mashup of several different people too, Shane demands an explanation but is met with silence causing Shane to punch the driver whose head would fall to pieces like a smashed bowl and blue goo would come out instead of blood confirming to Shane that something is wrong however before he can put the pieces together and figure anything out, his "girlfriend" apologizes and shoots an energy blast out of her hand causing him to wake up in a dark corridor.

The corridor is on what looks like a space station and Shane is soon caught up in a horde of what appear to be zombified/drugged up people attacking the crew of the station however no one notices Shane or acknowledges his existence, like he is invisible, so Shane uses this time to try and figure out what's going on, he soon comes across two cryogenic chambers and out steps two more zombified people looking like two of Shane's peers from college however he stops their advance by rolling a gas cannister into the room and running away, following this a man's voice starts to follow him around taunting him and saying that he is getting closer to the truth about where he is and even mentions the killing of a king.

After a trip to a rural mansion to seemingly stop a medieval king from claiming land thought to be his own as part of whatever game he is playing, Shane finally meets the Entity who appears as a vision of Kasuti however Shane orders the being to take off the disguise and even threatens to kill the being, now in a human form - The Entity introduces himself: "I am no one and I am nothing, in fact you could call me an entity as I have no physical form...as for what I wanted, well...I was just trying to make you see how significant you try and make yourself out to be, you stride into places not knowing anything about it and then something happens and your all over it...So I thought id put you to the test...in your own mind, toodle pip" before vanishing and causing Shane to wake up in the Torchwood base not knowing what just happened, as he recuperates however the reflection of the Entity's human form can be seen but then slowly disappears as if to say his work is done.
