The Dreamtide Chorus

The Dreamtide Chorus is a minor resonance-faith that believes dreams are where the world remembers itself safely. Its adherents hold that resonance, when encountered in waking life, is too sharp and destabilizing but when filtered through sleep, trance, and shared dreaming, it becomes survivable.

The Chorus does not seek prophecy or revelation in the conventional sense. Instead, they gather to experience resonance indirectly, through ritual sleep, chant, and guided dreaming. Meaning is not extracted or recorded; it is felt together, then allowed to fade.

Outsiders often mistake the Chorus for harmless mystics or escapists. Authorities are divided on whether they represent a threat or a pressure valve.
