Dreams/Nightmares

Assume and dreams

In every known instance of possession by Assume, nightmares occured as a symptom. Nightmares may be a sign of his growing influence over someone, but it is not sure if they are intentionally caused by him or just a consequence of his influence. They range from unsettling, gruesome and horrifying to puzzling and meaningful. Also, the Demon Eye is one recurring element of those dreams.

Characterization

The nightmares have been described as "gruesome, terrifying and very realistic" and seem to come along with terrible headaches. The content differs from person to person, but seems to revolve around dead bodies, body parts, blood, organs, hanging people, black eyes(different from The Demon Eye™) and voices. Also, people wake up from those dreams in all kinds of places-lying on the floor, outside, in a different room and/or covered in sweat or blood. On top of that, it seems to be exceedingly difficult to get into lucid dreaming state in Assumes nightmares, pretty much every attempt to 'break' the dreams by getting lucid failed.
