Summary[]
An ability commonly associated with Sleep Manipulation is Dream Manipulation, also known as Oneiric Manipulation, Somnipathy, Dreamscaping and Oneiric Warping. It is the power to manipulate dreams, nightmares, and daydreams.
The user can invade dreams, control the dreams of themselves and others, entrap others within nightmares, use dream-related magic, modify anything dream-related, trap others in REM, et cetera.
By altering daydreams, one can detach targets from their surroundings and place them into a daydream, blurring and (partially) substituting reality by a visionary fantasy, an imaginary world.
The user's power may even extend to the real world, such as having anything that happens to the user be replicated in the real world a la Freddy Krueger, pulling others into the real world, making things from the dream world real and blurring the line between the real world and the subconscious.
This also applies to daydreams, where they can manifest themselves in reality, or where users might be pulled into them.
But perhaps the most powerful version of this capability is Oneiropotence, where the user is almost completely omnipotent within the dream world, being able to warp, modify, adjust and edit it all they want. Users can even extend dreams beyond the borders, fusing them with reality, or shoving them into the real world, allowing the user to control both domains.
Oneirifery also exists, where the user warps reality itself by dreaming or through the dreams of others, allowing the user to control all aspects of the real world through their oneiric domain. They can make any dream be real. Or make real life things but a dream.
Finally, the user can be the dreamer of reality - existence is just a dream to the user, the user's dream that stops being there once they wake up.
