A flash of uncontrolled omniscience overwhelms and crushes your mind.

All effects to be experienced periodically throughout the morning.
All Dream effects should be accompanied by the roleplay effect of feeling well-rested.
Dream:
Good morning, Sunshine – You wake up beaming with excitement and joy. No foulness could ruin your day. You have the extreme want to help others through their plights, and spread your love of life.
Accomplished – You feel a sense of great achievement. You feel you could move mountains, part oceans, construct cities. Though these feats remain confined to dreams, you embrace the day as another opportunity to show off your skills. March forth, headstrong, in search of challenges to conquer.
The artist within – Inspirations of creativity blossom inside you. You feel a want to create, to visit places of creation. Your hands wish to feel the mastery of a well-crafted blade, or perhaps you wish to taste the flavours of a perfectly mixed potion. If you know not the skill, then only answered questions can unlock the crafter within you.
All nightmare effects should be accompanied by the roleplay effect of having little or broken sleep.
Nightmare:
Sorry, I’m not all here – You have trouble paying attention to longer conversations and general surroundings as your day keeps occasionally being interrupted by the most vivid parts of your nightmare.
Phantom kin – You have distinct memories of a lost friend/family/relative, you don’t know who they are but you feel they have gone missing or are in great danger.
The end is nigh – Was your nightmare an omen of things to come? You believe a great horror, or disaster, will descend upon Haven or your nation. Your mind is locked on its impending occurrence, and cannot be convinced otherwise. Those who ignore your warnings are destined to suffer.
