Part 1: Enter the Sea
of Dreams
Introduction
You struggle against the Mazzik
in a battle of wills, as the
ravenous creature seeks to trap
you within your own fears. Damn
emotion eaters!
You conjure up a playful melody
to soothe yourself and keep the
beast at bay.
One of your companions reaches
out a speckled tentacle,
unleashing a torrent of jelly
candies and banishing the
creature back to wherever fear is
from.
Time is ticking. You delve deeper
into the dream until you find
yourself on the verge of
memories.
There is a house, and a man
outside flipping burgers. You chat
with him, gleaning whatever you
can of his location and motives,
while your companions
investigate inside.
"I think we found the address, and
the kid," a companion announces,
floating back to you.
4
Finally,
You wake up and grasp for your
phone. It’s time to make a few
calls.
The Gist:
Lucid: Sea of Dreams is a
tabletop roleplaying game for a
game master/facilitator, referred
to as the Guide, and a group of
players. Players create characters,
known as Player Characters, or
PCs, who are lucid dreamers, able
to explore the amazing realms of
The Sea of Dreams, including
Dreamscapes, realms of collective
stories known as Memescapes,
realms of pure emotion, and many
other unique locations and meet
the many beings who make these
places their home. PCs balance
their day-to-day life in the
Waking World with nights spent
traversing The Sea of Dreams.
Lucid uses 10 sided dice ( d10 for
short) this zine also calls for the
use of other types of dice noting
d+number to indicate the number
of sides.

Part 2 Character
Creation
Arbor tried in vain to rub the
sleep from their eyes as they
closed another tab on their
computer. Nothing. Nothing could
explain what they had become.
The night had begun with a
normal dream, now half
remembered, something about
sour soup in Safta Ruth’s kitchen?
Then from nowhere inhuman
voices in chorus “Merrily merrily
merrily merrily~ life is but a…”
Safta Ruth’s soup spilled and the
kitchen faded away
“ dream~”
Arbor saw a cloaked figure
rowing away in a little boat on a
dazzling stream, they called out to
it but the figure did not turn. In
Arbor’s mind a chorus of voices
spoke “Welcome to the Sea of
Dreams, Camphor”. Their body
had become like a giant tree.
Arbor woke in a cold sweat but
though wide awake, could still
feel Camphor’s roots and bark in
their bones.

Create characters as a group!. See
chapter 5 for more details on
running a session zero.
Who are the PCs?
You are Dreamers (capital D),
you escaped your dreams,
becoming Lucid. A Dreamer can
access The Sea of Dreams and
remember it in their waking life.
How did you Go Lucid?
Chance? The influence of
powerful parties with mysterious
motives? Were you mentored by
an experienced Dreamer? Or…?
Establish as part of character
creation or leave open for use
guides discretion.
What are your Goals?
Dreamers are a diverse lot. What
motivates your Dreamers to travel
The Sea of Dreams? Personal
gain? A thirst for knowledge? A
drive to bring healing and joy to
the world?
Who are your Dreamers in the
Waking World?
A curious student? A stay at
home parent? A bored lawyer?
Discuss as a group.
Avatar
The secret identity a Dreamer
takes in the Sea of Dreams,.
Dreamers can shapechange, and
certain locations may also force
shapechanges. If a Dreamer loses
a shape they have assumed they
return to their default: their
Avatar.
What does the shape and name of
your Avatar say about the PC?
Example Avatars
Avatars can be anything, from
colorful animals, to mythological
creatures, human or humanoid
forms, clouds of gas, or
collections of objects.
Attributes
A new PC starts with 9 points, to
be divided by the player between
3 Attributes (maximum 5 in any
one Attribute to start), as follows:
6
Intuition
The PC’s Intuition score
represents their ability to
perceive, and tap into
information, be it from within
themselves or from the collective
unconscious.
Used to:
Gather information, perceive the
world, gain insight into
motivations, distinguish truth
from falsehood, and determine
encounter or combat action order.
Resistance
A PC’s Resistance score
represents their ability to remain
themselves under pressure or
Influence.
Used to:
Resist opposing Intuition or
Influence checks when another
creature, or a dream, tries to
manipulate the PC in any way
contrary to their will or desire.
Influence
A PC’s Influence score represents
their ability to exert their will
over others and their
environment.
Used to:
Transform the environment,
change form. create things within
the dream (including to) attack
and persuade others.

Items
A new PC has 3 slots for Items.
Items are distinct manifestations
of the character’s Influence. Items
can be used to assist on Attribute
checks or, when appropriate to the
item, used without need for a
check. Items can include sights,
smells, feelings, objects, etc.
Example Items
Items can be either corporeal or
concepts. Some examples
include: scents, like the smell
of cinnamon. objects, like a small
silver key or an axe. A happy
7
memory, like one of jumping
rope. Get creative!
Lucidity
A new character has 5 Lucidity
points. This score represents the
character’s ability to remain
Lucid. Upon taking damage or
being afflicted by certain negative
effects, the character’s Lucidity is
reduced. In the Waking World
Lucidity can be used as a
reflection of the PCs lifeforce
reduction to 0 results in losing
consciousness, or even death.

Part 3: Guidelines
In the widower’s dream, under
the shade of a Carob tree, you
curse your luck. A teal
refrigerator with gleaming eyes
grins at you mockingly “Tell me
all the laws…. while standing on
just one foot! Then I’ll let you
pass in peace.” it whines.
You can feel the dream
holding your foot in place. You
exert your Influence and yank
your foot free “Hey! That’s not
how the story goes!” the
refrigerator shouts indignantly.
Now it’s your turn to grin.
“Sorry friend, I didn’t make the
rules.”
Playing the Game
Guides, adjust and adjudicate the
rules for better story, remember
fun (for guides and players) is
number one!
Attribute Checks
When the Guide calls for an
Attribute check, roll d10s (ten
sided dice). Roll a number of dice
equal to the Attribute score being
used for the check
8
A roll greater than equal to the
check difficulty, is counted as a
success.
On a roll of 10, the die
“explodes.” Count 1 success and
reroll that die.
Pooling Dice
With the approval of the Guide,
Players can add one extra die to
an Attribute check for appropriate
use of one of their Items.
When making a group check, or
assisting another Character, one
Player makes the check and adds
one extra die to their pool.
At the Guide’s discretion, extra
dice may also be added to the
pool when considering factors
that aid the Character, such as
environmental items or effects. Or
when the PC has a particularly
good idea that takes motivations,
emotions, or beliefs into account.
Determining Difficulty
The base difficulty for an
Attribute check is
Average: 3. The Guide may adjust
the difficulty as follows:
Challenging: 4–5. The Character
is restrained or otherwise
impaired, or the check violates the
premise of the location
(Dreamscapes).
Very Challenging: 6–7. Multiple
factors impair the Character;
and/or the check violates multiple
aspects of the location
(Dreamscapes and Memescapes).
Absurdly Difficult: 8. The
Character attempts to make large-
scale changes to a Dreamscape.
Nigh Impossible: 9. The
Character attempts to make large
scale (temporary) changes to a
Memescape.
Intuition rolls:
An unopposed roll (for gathering
information or locating things)
adjusts the difficulty as shown
above and results based on the
number of successes.
The PC gains more information
per success, and more successes
correlates to more pertinent
information being gleaned.
Opposed Rolls
Influence and Intuition checks
may be opposed by the Resistance
of the target or location.
9
On an opposed roll, roll the
appropriate Attribute checks; if
the number of successes of the
Resistance check is equal to or
greater than the opposing roll, the
effect is nullified.
If the number of
Influence/Intuition check
successes exceeds the opposing
Resistance roll, then it is
successful.
When attempting to reduce the
Lucidity or Attribute scores of an
opponent, the number of
successes of the Resistance check
is subtracted from the number of
Influence successes; the
difference is the amount reduced
from the target’s Lucidity or
Attribute score.
Other Effects
Attempts to restrain, confuse, or
affect a target in ways other than
Attribute or Lucidity reduction
can be Resisted each turn by the
target.
Action Order
When in a time sensitive scene
(combat etc.) roll an Intuition
check; turn order flows from
highest number of successes to
lowest.
Lucidity zero Character Advancement

If a Dreamer’s Lucidity is Guides may choose to award one

reduced to 0, they wake up or face point per session, objective, or
other consequences including milestone completed, or at their
death or coma. discretion throughout a campaign.

Dream Entities that are reduced to Points can increase Attributes,

0 Lucidity are dissolved
(sometimes temporarily).
Final Act
When reduced to Lucidity 0,
Dreamers get one final optional
Influence check before they are
removed from the Dream.
Lucidity, or Item score at a cost of
the total of the new value,
i.e., Improving Intuition 3 to
Intuition 4 costs 4 points.
All improvements must be made
sequentially, e.g., a Player cannot
jump from Intuition 2 to 4
without first paying the cost for
3.

Pooling Lucidity

At any time characters may

donate their Lucidity to another
character; for every 2 points of
Lucidity they sacrifice, the target
may regain 1 point of Lucidity.

Rest and Healing

Lucidity and Attributes restore

fully after waking.

Due to the wonkiness of time

between the Waking World and
The Sea of Dreams, once a
Dreamer loses all their Lucidity,
they cannot effectively return to
The Sea of Dreams until the
following night.

Part 4: Setting
“There is no up ,there is no down
off to the pearl we go.
what goes ‘round must come
‘round off to the pearl you know”
-song key to Escher’s Pearl
The Waking World
The Waking World is where the
PCs live their lives, eat, breathe,
work, and play. Lucid: Sea of
Dreams assumes a Waking
World parallel to modern earth,
but any other settings are
workable.
Minding the Gap
Long ago the space between the
Waking World and The Sea of
Dreams was thin and narrow.
Some beings even remember a
time when travel between the two
was simple. But something
changed, now The Gap divides.
Most never experience The Sea of
Dreams beyond their own Dream
Pearls. Memories of dreams
often wriggle out of their minds.
Even when spoken, or recorded,
information about The Sea of
11
Dreams has a way of fading from
the Waking World.
Likewise, the natives of The Sea
of Dreams, who once could
casually step into the Waking
World as easily as stepping over
the threshold from the street into a
home, now find themselves shut
out.
Many would have you believe
that it is impossible for entities
from The Sea of Dreams to make
the crossing. A comforting
thought. But there are rumors of
massive chicken prints near busy
intersections, of dancing shadows
in ruins and on rooftops, and of
beings whose very existence will
mean the discontinuance of yours,
should you be unlucky enough to
behold one. Perhaps The Gap is
growing narrower once more, or
perhaps whatever was keeping the
two worlds apart is weakening.
And then there are those who
claim that the Waking World is
itself a dream. If true, pray that
whatever dreamed up our world
never wakes.

The Sea of Dreams
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath, in and out.
Relax your body until you feel it
melt away.
Before you is a churning chaos:
bits of thought, sensations, half-
baked imaginings that travel on
an unseen and fickle current.
Below you, a nearly endless
expanse of glittering pearls
stretches as far as the eye can see,
among them swim massive
worms, devouring everything in
their paths. Hanging above you
are thick, luminous clouds of
collected imaginings.
This is the collective unconscious:
this is the Sea of Dreams.
Dreamscapes
Lustrous pearls—billions of
them—bob gently, like apples in
water. Each one is home to
someone's dreams.
Dreamscapes share the force of
will of their progenitor. Like a
body with its white blood cells
that fight off foreign entities,
Dreamscapes manifest their own
defenses. Dreamscapes, and the
12
powerful thoughts and emotions
held within, are magnets for the
inhabitants of The Sea of Dreams.
When a Dreamer uses Influence
or Intuition in a Dreamscape, they
are Resisted by the Dreamscape.
Dreamscapes are multilayered.
The threshold between the outer
and inner layers of a dream can be
as simple as a passageway, a
locked door needing a key, or
contingent on the completion of a
specific puzzle, riddle, or task.
Dreams do not science. They
operate on the logic, beliefs, and
experiences of the sleeper.
Dreamers will be at a
disadvantage when they act
outside of the logic of the
Dreamscape.
Dig deeply enough, and one can
find memories, hopes, and fears,
as well as the avatar of the sleeper
- it is equally possible to help or
harm them within their dream,
whether by intent or misstep, so
tread carefully.
Some Dreamers say when they
help a sleeper they can often see a
spark of light rise up and out of
the dream before disappearing.
Memescapes
Thick, roiling clouds of light drift
about The Sea of Dreams.
This is where thoughts and ideas
coalesce into pocket worlds and
realities.
Realms of myth, of madness, of
stories and collective memories
brought to life, Memescapes are
many and varied. Each one is a
collection of shared thought,
strengthened and fortified by
beliefs both past and present. The
stronger the belief the more
resistant and resilient the
Memescape.
Each Memescape operates by its
own rules, forcing interlopers into
shapes that match the paradigm of
that realm. The borders between
these realms are often as chaotic
as The Sea of Dreams itself.
The merchants of the Other
Worlds Trade Consortium, the
Radanim, and the Librarians of
House Wise have chronicled
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
Memescapes, but many more
remain hidden.
13
A few known Memescapes
The Halls of the Mountain King:
Ruled over by the lonely troll
king Dovregubben, the land is a
mashup of stark wilderness and
dark, late 1800s cityscapes.
Paradigm: Everything in this
realm links to the song “In the
Hall of the Mountain King.”
While this realm does not
transform visitors physically, it
fills all who enter with a sense of
urgency.
By night, the streets are stalked
by the killer M. The Shadowy
Court of Criminals seek M’s
arrest for trial. Living cheese
crackers encourage visitors to
have a bite. But be careful: a
nibble could turn you into one of
their number. It is rumored that
Dovregubben will gift the mighty
song of the Mountain King unto
anyone who can find a cure for
his loneliness.
Eeee:
Known to outsiders as Elemeno,
it is a realm where the letters L-
M-N-O are forbidden. Sights and
sounds alike seem blurred or
distorted here.
Paradigm: This is the realm of
muddled words and blurry text. It
removes the LMNO’s from the
names of all who enter.
The Dread Duke Dysexia has
begun a war of conquest on
parallel Memescapes, sending
Wrd Jube foot soldiers to spread
confusion, jumbling up words
wherever they go. The “Eeee
Turis Bard” badly needs help with
their “Wece t’ Eeee” campaign.
Meanwhile the “K–P,” rebel
movement seeks to overthrow the
dastardly duke.
Scheherazade’s Yarn:
Bandits swoop upon caravans
crossing the sands while
courtiers’ scheme in their lavish
palaces. The ordinary folk go
about their days, hoping for a
lucky break -a ring with a Jinn, a
cave full of treasure, or a berth on
a voyage to strange places
where fortunes can be made.
Paradigm: This realm is a mashup
of every story from 'One
Thousand and One Nights'.
Operates on folklore logic.
Raiders have grown bolder.
Some within the palace seek
to curb their predations. Others
are in on the profit. Rumors of
buried treasure and magical
artifacts have led
countless excited would-be
14
adventurers to their doom. Could
you break this curse?
Meanwhile tensions rise between
the city's various guilds and
religious groups, the court
physician seeks to mend fences as
well as bodies but could use some
help.
Psychic Reservoirs
Realms of emotion swarming
with Mazzikim. A Psychic
Reservoir is keyed to a particular
feeling: hope, fear, loss, rage, joy,
etc. These realms are perilous, but
promise great insight for those
who can make it to their cores.
The Reservoir of Conviction:
A frozen icy expanse punctuated
by pillars of ice the size of trees
and patrolled by the translucent
polyhedral forms of conviction
Mazzikim.
When entering the Reservoir,
Dreamers are immediately
assaulted by visions of the deeply
held convictions of those in the
Waking World. It is Challenging
to resist such visions, and can
only be accomplished by thinking
of one’s own convictions and
holding onto them. Failure will
result in being swarmed by a
flood of Mazzikim.
Delving deeper is Very
Challenging. A Dreamer must
present 2 convictions from people
other than themself. Failure in
present this offering will result in
immediate loss of all Lucidity and
possibly becoming frozen, yet
another pillar of ice in an infinite
field.
If successful, however, the
Dreamer(s) may parley the great
Emunah, the heart of the realm,
and seek one boon:
Such as a rod of unbreakable
conviction, a window into the
convictions of any being in the
Waking World, or an amulet for
protection against conviction
Mazzikim
Ysla’s Tea Party:
Every rogue dream entity knows
Ysla, and Ysla knows of most
strays. Dreamers know Ysla the
Owl is a dream entity of
mysterious origin. She can be
found atop a large checkered
blanket drifting around The Sea
of Dreams. Her blanket is a safe
harbor in the turbulent sea.. Her
perpetual tea party not only boasts
fabulous tea cakes and finger
sandwiches, but is also a bed of
the most current news from
around The Sea of Dreams. Ysla
cannot lie, and she is eternally
15
curious. In exchange for news of
Dreamers’ exploits, she happily
answers any question Dreamers
have, to the best of her ability.
Guests at the tea party
Roll a d8
1- Princess Space Crusader. Full
body armor bedecked and
bedazzled. Pink Apron blowing in
the breeze with only the
occasional bloodstain. Needs
assistance to find her crew. Ysla
mutters fanfiction.
2- A monstrous mass of wood.
The trunk of a hazelnut tree.
Swears it knows a thing or two
about the Shedim but won’t
divulge unless properly
tempted.
3- Frida Kahlo in oil paint with a
monkey. She seems eerily
familiar.
4- Hooper, a fading imaginary
friend. Hooper hopes to be
reunited with Amy, the girl who
first dreamed him up.
5- Eliyahu, a… Dreamer?
He peppers Ysla with questions
about Gloom Mazzikim while
recounting tales of all the homes
he has visited and wine he has
sipped in the Waking World.
6- A bottle of hot sauce that only
speaks in rhyme. It bides its time.
But pay it some mind. It has a
plot only the wise can divine.
7- Queen Oyster, A large frumpy
mushroom lady reading
“Backpacks and other human
rituals” very curious about the
Waking World.
8--Cap'n Cuppycake, with a hook,
big hat and eye patch, he's a true
pirate with a taste for cupcakes!
Will you join his crew?
Ysla’s Special Teas:
Ysla gives a special cup of tea to
Dreamers who share juicy/useful/
or personal news. Each cup of tea
acts as a one use temporary item:
Intuity: Light and floral. Your
mind clears, calm as a placid
mountain lake you feel silently
connected to all things.
Resisty: Earthy and resilient with
a hint of brown rice, you feel
grounded in yourself.
Influeteance: Strangely tangy like
an otherworldly citrus your
imagination opens and bubbles.
16
Ysla’s Secrets:
Ylsa knows much more than she
lets on. While not hostile to
Dreamers she will easily trade
any information shared with her
to anyone else who asks, careful
what you tell her.
Ysla will not willingly share
much info on the Shedim, she is
an exiled one of their number, a
Lilin. Part of her banishment stole
her ability to visit Dreamscapes,
leaving her thirsty for any and all
knowledge of the Waking World,
sleepers, and their dreams.
If questioned about her origins or
Shedim she truthfully replies that
she would rather not discuss the
matter.
Far Away:
Memories of The Sea of Dreams
flee the minds of the sleepers.
Memories of what lies beyond
escape even the minds of most
Dreamers. Knowledge that is
unknowable, realms far beyond
the Waking World that the
Dreamers call home. To
remember these parallel worlds
on foreign shores of The Sea of
Dreams is Very Challenging. But
for those few who are able to
remember those stolen memories,
the rewards can be great:
The ability to awaken in distant
Waking Worlds.
Escher’s Pearl:
Ruled by the mysterious MCs,
Escher’s Pearl is a city for
Dreamers within The Sea of
Dreams.
The only way to reach the city is
for a Dreamer to sing the song of
Escher’s Pearl.
Laws of Escher’s Pearl:
-No unauthorized editing of the
Pearl.
-No theft.
-No harming others.
The Courtyard: All Dreamers
arrive via the courtyard. The
guards, appearing as giant ants,
remind visitors to be humble and
mind the city’s laws.
Secrets of the Ants:
Most Dreamers assume that the
Ants of Escher’s Pearl are fellow
Dreamers under the employ of the
MCs, in truth however the Pearl
was built over the Valley of the
Ants long ago and dragged into
the Sea of Dreams. Deep in the
17
heart of the Pearl one can still
cross the boundary into the valley
where the wise ant Queen
Harmana holds her court in a
giant’s shattered tooth.
The Reptile Room:
Run by the affable Lyle-Lyle, a
man with a crocodile head, the
Reptile Room is a classy lounge
in the Pearl.
The Reptile Room trades in
distilled emotions and curated
sensations.
Lyle-Lyle accepts Items,
memories, and sensations on
barter, or Waking World
currency.
Patrons include (roll several):
1-Cumulon, a roughly human-
shaped cloud, is drinking to forget
what he saw in his brother’s
dream.
2-A gaggle of monk-headed birds
from the Otherworld Boutique
lamenting the success of Radanim
merchants in Elemeno.
3- Joust, dressed in full plate,
lectures her silent apprentice
Patience on the (fanatical)
mission of the Rose Knights to
exterminate all dream entities.

4- Meruit the black cat and

Calypso the blue octopus discuss
outbreaks of Gloom Mazzikim.

5- The Fabulous glam rocker

Jethro plays a glamorous tune
while the affable Spaceworm
Mcjee approaches other patrons to
ask about their troubles.

6-Dicey, the chaotic fun-loving

gambler, on the surface appears as
a humanoid robot in a trenchcoat.
Secretly a collective of 8
dreamers with crablike avatars
piloting to mixed success. Who
wants to make a wager?

7- McRaz the talented green

gecko cowboy warms his drink by
shooting blinding rays of light
from his toes.

8-Frumka the Ace seeks

companions for a raid on some
dangerous ideas.

Lyle-Lyle’s secret:

Has mastery over his own mind,

and is perpetually aware of both
the Waking World and The Sea of
Dreams.

19
Tetrahedral Cathedral:
Among the winding streets of
Escher’s Pearl, there is one spire
that impossibly remains visible in
the city’s twisted skyline no
matter where you are. The
Tetrahedral Cathedral appears
like a spear of earth and stone, a
ziggurat temple grasping
skyward.
Entering into a grand hall, you
will be greeted by the concierges
Otys and Mynt.
The Cathedral acts as an
intermediary between freelance
“specialists'' (mercenaries) and
their clients. A list of bounties can
be found near the entrance.
Otherworld Boutique and the
Caravanserai of the Radanim:
The Radanim and their rival
monk-headed birds of the
Otherworld trade consortium
trade in goods and information
from up and down The Sea of
Dreams.. They accept Waking
World currency (at exorbitant
prices) and will barter for rare
dream goods.
Both organizations sell many
things including:
20
-Information on dreams,
Memescapes, Shedim, and
Mazzikim.
-Items from famous Memescapes.
-Rare fragments and byproducts
of the Mazzikim.
-Shedtech (auction only).
Concentric Rinds Writers Guild:
Need a fantasy or a nightmare
cooked up? The experts at the
CRWG have you covered.
Unscrupulous rogues commission
nightmare creatures to haunt their
enemies. Others pay the skilled
writers to create
Items, Memescapes, or entities
needed for much kinder purposes.
Faction Offices:
Dreamers are a varied bunch, and
while many choose to operate
alone, or with a small group of
companions, others form broader
coalitions around a common
purpose. Many Dreamer
organizations have offices in the
Pearl, as it is a neutral meeting
ground of sorts. Their true
headquarters are often outside of
the Pearl in bastions of their own
making. Some factions are
administrative, like the Dreamer’s
Bank that facilitates anonymous
transactions of Waking World
currencies. Others are
philosophical like the radical
Rose Knights dedicated to
destroying any and all dream
entities, and the Librarians who
archive information about the Sea
of Dreams. While others are
practical in nature, the Gilded
Glove, a group dedicated to
manipulating sleepers' dreams for
profit in the Waking World, and
their enemies the Ghost Dogs
who seek to limit Dreamers from
influencing dreams.

Part 5 Beings
The foul Shibbeta wraps its hands
around your throat as you
struggle to breath “Did you wash
your hands?” you try to nod and
choke out an affirmative hoping
to call off the assault.
“With soap?” it hisses.
Oh hell.
You wake on the floor, and rub
your sore neck.
The Mazzikim:
The harmers. Swarming,
skittering things, some say the
Shedim created them for their
own alien purpose, and others
suspect that they were born of the
memories of the dead. Still others
hypothesize that they crawled out
of the frothing heart of The Sea of
Dreams itself.
Although their origins are
unclear, their purpose is not.
Mazzikim are instinct-driven
creatures, each type drawn to a
particular type of emotion like
moths to a flame.
They feed off of and perpetuate
this emotion, wherever it can be
found, though most often in the
dreams of sleepers.
Even those Mazzikim that
perpetuate emotions typically
considered positive can cause
great harm. There are many types
of Mazzikim, including:
Joy Mazzikim: One fluttering Joy
Mazzik brings warmth and
happiness, and a swarm of Joy
Mazzikim brings exuberant joy.
They are fickle and flighty things.
Gloom Mazzikim: fall into the
web of a Gloom Mazzik at your
peril in the absence of joy they
will consume and fill their prey
with a gray and terrible gloom.
Greater Mazzikim:
Though not necessarily larger or
stronger than their kin, a Greater
Mazzik is a thinking creature with
a unique personality. There
numbers include:
Greed in a pinstriped suit: This
aspect of Greed wants what all
Dreamers have: the ability to
traverse freely on both sides of
the gap. To achieve this goal,
Greed will stop at nothing.
Gruff, protector of the small,
crusher of nightmares. Gruff was
22
once a man, a cutthroat
businessman, age softened his
bitter heart and he dedicated his
last days to helping others, on his
deathbed, the Reservoir of Hope
reached out to him. Now Gruff
brings hope to the hopeless and
great great harm to nightmares.
Sinat, the hateful. Sinat is
powerful and ancient. It relishes
in factionalism and sows discord
wherever it goes. Sinat smells of
smoke and blood.
The Shedim:
Known as the enigmatic natives
of The Sea of Dreams. Their
shifting inky forms bear a passing
humanoid resemblance, marked
by their chicken-like feet.
It is Challenging to communicate
with the Shedim; their minds and
ways of being are alien. The
Shedim harvest many lost things
from The Sea of Dreams to make
their materials.
Trade with the Shedim is highly
profitable, their technology is
unparalleled.
Shedtech:
Shedim often trade Sleeper Salts,
a weapon feared by Dreamers, as
it renders one into a sleeper. They
occasionally trade the highly
sought after Anchor, which is
invisible, small but too heavy and
grants things permanence in The
Sea of Dreams. Rarely they trade
in Wards to keep all manner of
things at bay.
Shedim possess many
technologies that they do not
trade willingly. Like their
shimmering powder that blurs
Intuition and hides them from
view, and their lures for
Mazzikim.
Secrets of the Shedim:
The Shedim hail from the great
wilderness of the Shedlands, a
place Far Away. Many Shedim
believe that the Waking World of
the Dreamers is a well
hidden Memescape. The Shedim
are not as uniform as they may
seem, consisting of dozens if not
hundreds of tribes and factions
with varying degrees of closeness
to other beings of the Sea of
Dreams . Those most often
encountered by Dreamers are the
inky servants of Shed King
Ashmedai.
Shedim are many, and varied.
Their number include the Shedim
shel beit ha-kisse who haunt
privies and washrooms, the
23
Shibbeta who strangle any who
eat food touched by unwashed
hands, the rival Mara Maravitz
who steal children and Mara
Marrovich who steal tongues and
of course the Lilin who are
particularly prone to visit dreams
and “get to know” sleepers.
They are fond of fruit jams and
strongly dislike iron.
The Shamir:
The Shamir resemble worms,
their bite can pierce the barriers of
even the most resistant dreams
and Memescapes.
Sometimes the size of a grain of
barley, other times so vast they
stretch for as far as the eye can
see.
Awesome and frightening to
behold, the Shamir serve a vital
purpose in the ecology of The Sea
of Dreams. Through their
disruptions ideas spread.
The Naggar Tura:
The mountain cutters. These
mysterious birds resemble
Hoopoe. When they grasp the
mighty Shamir in a wool cloth it
shrinks down to its smallest size
and is tame. Naggar Tura use
Shamir to carve out spaces for
their nests.. They complain that
Shedim have been stealing tame
Shamir for purposes unknown.
Rogue Entities:
By Shamir, by chance, or by
intention, some entities from
Dream/Memescapes find
themselves far outside their native
realm, and take up residence in
the open Sea of Dreams.
The self-styled “Nightmare
Prince” Falling Down. plots
vengeance on the Waking World
with her heralds, the Red Sisters;
Ring, Around, and the Rosy. The
enigmatic Rower sits in a tiny
boat upon a sparkling stream.
Rumor has it The Rower was
crafted by Dreamers long ago to
awaken sleepers.The Jabberer on
the other hand is ancient and
terrible, imprisoned for many
years it has recently claimed its
freedom. A flesh cloud of ears
and mouths, the Jabberer hears
all, and utters everything said in
the Waking World in a
maddening cacophony.

Part 6 Running
Lucid
Core themes:
Belief, emotions, and
motivation:
Lucid explores belief, emotions,
and character
motivations. Provide
opportunities for PCs to explore
their own and consider others’.
Encourage your players to think
about where NPCs are coming
from and remember to award
extra dice to the pool when they
do.
Imagination and exploration:
Dreamers can wield their
imaginations in incredible ways,
encouraging creative problem
solving by offering open ended
situations and seeing what players
come up with.
Take advantage of the freedom
the setting provides to create
vivid, fun, funny and emotionally
powerful worlds for your players
to enjoy and explore.
Secrets and secrets within
secrets:
Information is power, knowledge
is power, and many things are not
as they first seem. The identities
of the Dreamers in the Waking
World are a closely guarded
secret against hostile or careless
Dreamers; entities can use the
PCs' life in the Waking World
against them.
Similarly, most NPCs and
locations should contain hidden
truths for the players to unravel.
The Sea of Dreams and all within
feels familiar but alien. The
Waking World is full of secret
and hidden connections to the Sea
of Dreams and its denizens.
Tips for running the game:
Secrets as a mechanic for
growth:
Characters can learn secret
techniques through exploration
and relationships. Including those
to ward, target opposing
Dreamers or entities across great
distances, target attribute scores,
and to split one's consciousness
between the Waking World and
Sea of Dreams simultaneously.
They can learn rituals to summon
25
beings and bind them to one's
will. They can discover the
backdoor to a person's mind and
enter their waking mind. And
more! Create your own!
Learning and perfecting
techniques should be major
milestones for player
characters requiring a point cost
as well (5-10 points guide’s
discretion).
Encourage creativity and
empathy:
Grant players an extra d10 or two
when they make checks that are
creative and/or take others’
emotions/motivations into
consideration.
Checking in:
Before each session take 5
minutes or so to check in with
your players about their PCs
current motivations and beliefs.
After each session check in with
the players to ask how the PCs
embodied those motivations and
beliefs in the game. Or how their
beliefs and motivations changed.
Session zero:
Take time to gather with the
players and to sort out character
creation, PC connections, safety
tools, and other expectations
before diving into a session or
campaign to make sure everyone
is on the same page. Explain the
kinds of vibes you are going for
and check in with players about
the kind of vibes they are
interested in.
Teamwork makes the dream
work:
Discuss the fact that tabletop
roleplaying games are a
collaborative experience, Players
work as a team, make decisions as
a group, and are respectful of one
another.
PC connections:
Determine how the PCs know
each other. Did they meet in the
Sea of Dreams or the Waking
World? How? If the players want
to handwave this part then default
to them having met at Ysla’s tea
party.
Safety tools:
Everyone at your table should be
able to have a good time, check in
26
with players during session zero
to find out what they are and are
not comfortable with. Use the
lines and veils tool to lay out
ahead of time what is off limits (a
line) or what can be handled
without detail, ie “off screen”(a
veil)
Let players know they can call
pause if play starts to move in an
uncomfortable direction (and you
can too!). There are tons of other
great safety tools online, see what
you can find that will work for
your group.
Using the Waking World
Ask players what they do during
the day, try to create a direct or
indirect link between what is
happening in the Waking World
and the Sea of Dreams. Make
Waking World NPCs and
conflicts count, including PC
family and friends, they are
vulnerable, and don't even know
it.
As the Dreamers explore and
learn more, let them uncover the
many hidden links between the
Waking World and the Sea of
Dreams. To a Dreamer, especially
one with higher intuition,
different places in the Waking
World feel different, heavier or
lighter depending on the level of
population and psychic angst.
A PC in the Waking World is
capable of doing anything that
their Waking World
body/experience could feasibly
do. So limit rolls to critical
situations. Riding a bike? No roll.
Riding a bike away while pursued
by a furious motorist? Call for
opposed resistance vs. influence.
Using Dreamscapes:
Dreamscapes are your chance to
present the weird and wild and
somewhat psychological world of
dreams. If the players are in the
dream of an important NPC, make
sure that the character's
personality, fears, and beliefs
shine through.
Dreams do not science.
Dreamscapes operate by thought
and belief, bear that in mind when
PCs use their influence here.
Dreams have long been thought to
have symbolic meaning and hold
portents for the future, let
elements in the dream foreshadow
possible future events.
Look at internet lists of common
dreams and insert elements of the
sleepers personality. Alternatively
27
create unique dreams of your
own.
Quick tool for crafting unique
Dreamscapes:
The Dreamscape is…
roll 1d10
1 a place of learning 2 under the
sea 3 a dark forest 4 a city
street 5 mountains of ice-
cream 6 a home 7 a
playground 8 a field 9 a

Characterized by…
1 a golden shimmering
doorway 2 a weeping statue 3
uneven gravity 4 certain
twistiness to it 5 surreal
aesthetic 6 everything
proportioned too large 7 colors

onlooker 8 a thick fog 9 a great
soundtrack 0 scenery that wobbles
The sleeper is a…
1 a busy parent 2 a starry-eyed
child 3 a rebellious youth 4
an exhausted insomniac 5 a
corrupt official 6 a shell-shocked
soldier 7 an up and coming
criminal 8 an aged prisoner 9 an
energetic elder 0 someone the
PCs know
Using Memescapes:
Memescapes are your chance to
explore diverse worlds, Steal
from your favorite books or
periods in history, tv shows or
movies, or even other TTRPGs.
Memescapes maintain their theme
by limiting your players and
guiding their creativity. It is very
challenging to violate the
premises of a Memescape.
Using the Sea of Dreams:
Travel in the Sea of Dreams is
wonky
The Sea of Dreams is more than
just the space between locations
of interest. It is teeming with
Dreamers and all the other Beings
introduced in Lucid
In the Sea of Dreams the
Dreamers encounter
several…
1 clocks 2 gibbons 3 coins 4 lace
5 stardust bits 6 rodents 7 snakes
8 snack food bits 9 cats 0 FIRES
That are…

memescape version of their

human-like handprints.
Weather in the Sea of Dreams:
Whenever the PCs enter the Sea
of Dreams or move to another
part roll a d8, the result is the
difficulty of using intuition or
influence
Using Lucid with other systems:
Lucid gives you options. For PCs
from other systems Lucid opens
up an additional menu of problem
solving tools and power and
another potential source for
conflict and obstacles.
When combining Lucid with
other systems it helps to have
players that are already well
versed in either Lucid or the other
system. Juggling two rulesets can
seem daunting at first but
becomes like second nature with a
little practice.
Intuition in particular is a handy
way to give PCs a chance to
notice something abnormal and
beyond their average sensory
capabilities in the Waking World.

The mighty heroes on a quest to

find the magic ring? Now the dark
lord sends them nightmares while
they seek an entryway to his
cronies' dreams.

Play with how

common/uncommon Dreamers
are, and how they fit the setting.
Were they awakened by magic?
Divine power? Or something
else?

Going Lucid can come later in a

campaign. The PCs seek out the
source of the strange monsters
that have been plaguing the land
only to discover they emerged
from the Sea of Dreams!

Part 7 Sam was

30
Snatched: a sample

31

Part 7 Sam was
Snatched: a starter
scenario
Content warning:
Kidnapping and child
endangerment, potential
violence.
Behind the scenes:
Sam, the child of prominent local
journalist couple Terissa and Jo
has been taken captive by
disgraced former city council
member Jason Carter. Jason
blames the couple for his life
unraveling after they revealed his
corruption to the public.
Choose or roll 1d4 for
background information
1- Mayor Bishop, a sleeper who
has been contacted by the Greater
Mazzik Greed-in-a-pinstripe-suit,
wants Terissa and Jo out of the
picture before they uncover his
embezzlement scheme. In
conjunction with Greed they
subtly encouraged Jason to deal
with the issue. Neither knew he
would target Sam, neither care.
Jason has no knowledge of Greed
or the mayor's involvement.
32
2- Jason was radicalized through
a combination of his own shame
and fury and his media diet. He
has stockpiled weapons and seeks
to take revenge on the whole city,
everyone who has “wronged
him”, kidnapping Sam is just the
beginning.
3- Noticing a flock of fear
Mazzikim heading towards
Jason’s Dream Pearl post
kidnapping, a Mara Maravitz
named Hedek sensing opportunity
whispered in his ear “bring me the
child, that will make the parents
truly suffer” Jason is working on
a ritual at the behest of Hedek to
narrow The Gap enough for
Hedek to drag Sam’s physical
body into the Sea of Dreams.
4- Jason Carter is cruel, and a
Dreamer, he used his powers to
lead nightmares to Jo and Terrissa
for weeks, all while orchestrating
the perfect subliminal messages
that allowed him to kidnap Sam
without a trace. He warded Sam’s
dreams to hide them from
potential interlopers, particularly
concerned about arousing the
Greater Mazzik Gruff’s fury.
Setup:
Sam is a kid! Maybe 10 or so.
Decide as a group how each
character knows Sam. Explain to
the party that one week ago Sam
went missing and the PCs have
decided to find them!
Ask the party what they do in the
Waking World before they fall
asleep to get ready to find Sam.
(research online, collect some of
Sam’s personal items for intuitive
reading, talk to the family etc.)
Tip!
Stress to players that time is of
the essence, maintain a sense of
urgency in order to build tension
and immerse the players in the
scenario.
Use the text from “The Sea of
Dreams” section in Locations to
describe falling asleep and
awakening in the Sea of Dreams.
Finding Sam’s Dream
Roll for weather! roll a d8, the
result is the difficulty of using
intuition or influence.
Encourage the PCs to use the
information they gathered during
the day to try to locate Sam’s
dream, make a group Intuition
check. Award extra dice for
particularly creative information
recovered.
33
You concentrate on what you
know about Sam's disappearance
and reach out Or you hold out
the memory of Sam’s scruffed up
teddy bear you had held just
hours earlier and reach out…
If they do not pass a check,
indicate to the group that for each
of their failures time is ticking
away.
But the weather in the Sea of
Dreams is too wild, you find
nothing, time is ticking as you
fumble for another pathway.
Repeat until success.
You lock on, like a carrier pigeon
you know where to find Sams’
Dream, and like a carrier pigeon
you glide swiftly through the Sea
arriving before a gleaming silvery
chipped Dream Pearl.
Optional:
The PCs face a random encounter
in the Sea of Dreams while on
their way each time they fail the
check.
Part 1: In the Dream of the
Missing
Layer 1:
Dreamscape Resistance score: 1
Layer 1 is a dark, dank forest,
filled with birds and buzzing
insects. The mud is thick and
arduous.
First obstacle:
Roll Resistance vs. The
Dreamscape. Failure leads to
becoming submerged in mud.
Dreamers lose 1 point of Lucidity
per failed check to free
themselves from the mud.
The way to the next layer is
through a small hole at the base of
a distant tree. An Intuition check
vs. the Dreamscape’s Resistance
allows the PCs to hear a faint
sound coming from the hole.
If the players seem unsure of how
to investigate, introduce a wubby:
the PCs spot a small bird sinking
into the mud. If they free the bird,
it will thank them and complain
about the scary sound coming
from the base of a tree.
Any attempt to look into the hole
will only reveal darkness, but if a
PC enters the hole, they enter the
next layer of the dream. A
34
successful Intuition check can
also be used to let the players
know this hole is the door to the
next layer of the dream.
Layer 2:
Dreamscape Resistance score 2
This layer is populated by talking
mice, who live in the walls of a
giant unseen house, in fear of a
monster that reaches through the
walls and eats them.
The party appears in a cramped
space; Resistance checks are
needed for anyone who is not
mouse- sized, and failed checks
result in losing Lucidity equal to
the check failure (maximum of 2
lost per check). Dreamers must
succeed on an Influence check to
shrink to an appropriate size.
The party is approached by a
group of friendly and curious
mice in stitched- together
clothing.
Dream mice names:
Felix, Fivle, Lola, Old Man
Withers, Smoop, Timothee,
Andromeda, Shmarlz.
With little convincing the mice
will offer to lead the party to their
village.
The Mouse village is warmly lit;
mice shuffle about industriously,
stacking buttons and bundling
twine. The village is haphazardly
constructed from household
goods, and one end of the village
is conspicuously boarded up and
cordoned off with yellow warning
tape.
The mice will warn the party of
the presence of the monster
“Better watch out, the monsta will
get ya’, it’ll snach ye up, eat ye
all for supper, crunchity squnch!”
Past the barricade is an inky black
maze, at the end of which lies the
door to the next layer of the
dream.
The party can navigate the maze
with a successful Intuition check
vs. the Dreamscape’s Resistance.
The monster can attack suddenly,
as the Guide sees fit. The party
hears a wretched cracking sound
that steadily grows louder until
the monster appears. The monster
is a giant terrible grasping hand
that smashes through the wall,
leaving debris and a cloud of dust
in its horrid wake.
The Monster has 2 points in all
Attributes and 5 Lucidity.
35
Notes on tone:
The mice and their village create
a sense of warmth, but their fear
of the Monster should build some
anticipation for the terrible
monster. Play on that contrast
between the warmth and terror.
Layer 3A:
Dreamscape Resistance score 3
The party witnesses a replay of
Sam’s memory of the
kidnapping.
Sam stands outside a gas station
waiting for their mom to finish
paying inside. A towering giant of
a man, face distorted by shadow
save for his cold blue eyes, gets
out from a bright blue pickup
truck and approaches. A giant
hand reaches out, fear, then
everything fades to black.
The scene repeats itself.
If the party attempts to interrupt
the memory, they are transferred
to layer 3B
Note on memories: the events are
from Sam’s perspective and may
be distorted. For example the face
of the man, license plate number
of any given vehicle etc.
Layer 3B
Dreamscape Resistance score 3
Enter a dark dank basement, filled
with crates covered in camo cloth.
Sam is tied to a heavy table in the
middle of the room .
If prompted, Sam will divulge
that the man says a lot of bad
words and is really scary.
The man enters the basement and
the party gets a clearer look at his
face. A successful Intuition check
can trace back to the man’s
dream.
The party now realizes that Sam
has been kidnapped and is
imprisoned. Stress the urgency of
the situation. When moving
forward.
If Jason Carter is a Dreamer,
stage a confrontation here
“They deserve this, they’ll pay for
what they did to me!”
Jason the Dreamer has 4 in each
stat, his avatar Sir Ferdinand is a
medieval knight with gold armor,
his items are a sword, shield, and
the taste of blood. Jason will first
try to convince the PCs not to
meddle, and if that fails, will
36
attack. If the PCs cause Sir
Ferdinand to wake up, the party
gets a glimpse of Jason Carter’s
face, have each PC roll an
unopposed intuition check
difficulty 3 to see if they can
identify him.
Optional encounter:
The Shamir cometh!
Intuition check vs. 3 to detect the
coming Shamir and react before it
eats Sam’s dream.
The Shamir has 5 points for each
Attribute and 10 points of
Lucidity. One successful bite
from the Shamir will cause its
target to instantly wake.
The Shamir eats Sam’s dream,
jettisoning the party into The Sea
of Dreams.
The party has the chance to
escape before the Shamir turns its
attention to them. Have the party
describe how they exit the scene.
Part 2: The Kidnapper’s Dream
The party finds the Kidnappers
Dream Pearl, it is tarnished and
seems…wrong somehow.
Layer 1:
Dreamscape Resistance score 3
The party appears in the stands of
a race track, before them an array
of generic video game characters
prepare to race in little animated
cars. There are some spare cars if
any party members want to
participate in the race.
A successful Intuition check
reveals that the key to the next
layer of the dream is the finish
line. (describe it as a feeling of
difference/off-ness)
The race begins:
If the PCs participate in the race,
have the players roll influence
checks vs the dream to determine
where in the race they are
A strange encounter:
Midway through the race a
strange voice calls out “Ah,
Dreamers, a bit far from home,
aren't we?” The voice fades away
as its owner vanishes without a
37
trace and is replaced by a sense
of unease.
Who is the owner of the strange
voice? Another dreamer? A
Greater Mazzik or rogue entity?
And what are they doing in this
man’s dream?
(if Greed or the Mara Marrovizt
Hedek are involved than the voice
belongs to one of them
respectively)
Perils of the track:
Intuition check vs. 5 to detect the
Mazzikim before they attack.
Lurking along the track are 3 Fear
Mazzikim (5 Influence, 2
Intuition, 2 Resistance, and 2
Lucidity each). On a successful
attack, they trap their target in an
illusion of the target’s worst fear.
Each round, trapped characters
can make a Resistance check vs.
the Mazzikim’s Influence to
escape. If trapped for 3
consecutive rounds, the target
begins to attack fellow party
members on their turn.
Defeat the Mazzikim and proceed
to the finish line to cross to the
next layer of the dream.
Layer 2:
Dreamscape Resistance score 3
The party sees a white shabby
house with cracked paint. A man
of average height and build stands
in the backyard, grilling hot dogs.
The sleeper Jason Carter.
The party can learn the house's
layout, address, and the
Kidnappers name and motivation
either by talking with him or
snooping around the house or a
combination of the two.
Maintain a sense of urgency.
Jason seems nonchalant on the
surface but is angry and afraid,
and will react with hostility if he
notices anyone entering the
house.
Inside the house is mostly plain, a
bit messy with stacks of
magazines and hand written
notes. There are stairs that lead
down to a locked basement. In the
basement is Sam from Jason’s
perspective, a twisted amalgam of
Teresa and Jo leering and taunting
anyone they lay eyes on.
(if Jason is acting alone then the
house is filled with maps of the
city, weapons and potential
targets, candid pictures of dozens
of individuals.
38
If Jason is working with Hedek
the basement level feels off, the
PCs can almost feel their physical
bodies stir, there are strange
markings on the walls and images
of doors and windows)
Wrap up:
Party decides how they want to
rescue Sam, whether that means
alerting authorities or doing it
themselves etc.
Possible hooks for further play:
A debt unpaid: The Weaver is
ready to collect the promised
story now the party must venture
deep into a memescape and return
with a tale worth telling.
A voice from the dark: for what
sinister purpose was the owner of
the mysterious voice lurking in
Jason Carter’s dream?
The fall man: Jason Carter is just
the tip of the iceberg when it
comes to corruption in this city.
Who encouraged him to take such
drastic actions? And to what end?
