Dreamer's Disease

Dreamer's Disease is an illness caused by magic burgeoning through a human's brain, leading to a strange ability to make subconscious thoughts apply to reality itself.

## Causes of Dreamer's Disease

While Dreamer's Disease is caused primarily through a high increase in magic, this is not what completely causes it. Scientifically, Dreamer's Disease is caught in mammals that have a high magic count, though have a weak vessel for this magic to relay to. While homeostasis keeps bodies regulated and secure, Dreamer's Disease is the result of homeostasis failing drastically in a sudden moment, causing too much magic to reach the vessel's brain and then take control over it. While the magic would attempt to revive the homeostasis in one's body and ward off all threats, the vessel may have abnormal health conditions (primarily underweight, though other conditions such as Autism, ADHD and ADD play a massively contributing factor into this) that lead to the magic failing. As a result, the magic completely overloads the cerebellum and cerebral cortex, linking the sensory and thought of the vessel to what is real.

## Early Symptoms of Dreamer's Disease

### Headache

Cephalgia is the primary result of Dreamer's Disease. The victim's head will be through pulsing, continuous pain as long as they are not relaxed. This is at its most extreme in the later stages of it, though can be suppressed by medication in its early stages.

### Hebephrenic Schizophrenia

Dreamer's Disease will cause the victim to have a far more exaggerated processing in emotive response. While this is minimal in its early stages, it later grows to be as terrible as happiness equating to mania, and sadness equating to depression. Alongside emotional amplifications, Dreamer's Disease causes wild thoughts to roam around one's head, alongside mild hallucinations.

### Perspiration

Mild sweating is an apparent symptom of Dreamer's Disease. This sweating never ceases to stop, and can cause thirstiness.

## Late Symptoms of Dreamer's Disease

### Headache

The headaches in Dreamer's Disaease will reach a far more severe stage, unable to be suppressed whatsoever by any means. The range of these headaches depends on the relaxation of the victim. It can range from a mild migraine to a severe cluster headache.

### Delusive Mind

In the later stages of Dreamer's Disease, the mind will naturally have developed anxiety, alongside severely amplified emotions to the degree that the slightest inconvenience may cause suicidal tendencies.

### Reality Check

The most severe symptom of Dreamer's Disease. This leads to a connection between one's thought process and the real world, which can be disastrous in many cases. Following the Hebephrenic Schizophrenia from early symptoms, these hallucinatory figures will become real, exactly as depicted. Alongside this, subconscious thoughts (such as anxiety) will contribute into things happening. For example, panicking about having dementia may cause the victim to have dementia, while panicking about cancer may cause that. The only exception for whenever a vessel is capable to have the disease be affected by sheer will is if the victim has a disorder such as Aspergers, ADHD or ADD. Otherwise, it is completely out of their control.

## Trivia

* Dreamer's Disease derived from the idea of "what if there was a type of schizophrenia that caused the hallucinations to become real?"
