Background

Dream Immortality is the ability to possess immortality within a dream world or while actively dreaming. Users with this ability cannot experience permanent death inside dreams regardless of the damage or fatal events they sustain. Instead, death or defeat in the dream realm typically results in the user waking up unharmed in the real world.

This form of immortality can also apply to entities that exist solely within dreams, who cannot die by conventional means as long as the dream persists. However, these dream-only beings risk ceasing to exist if the dreamer wakes up or if the dream itself collapses.

Some variations of Dream Immortality involve a connection between the dream state and the physical body, where the user’s real-world body may be vulnerable to external harm or manipulation, despite their undying nature within the dream.

Also Called

• Oneiric Immortality
• Lucid Dream Immortality
• Dream Realm Immortality
• Sleeping Immortality

Possible Applications

• Survive any fatal damage or attacks within a dream without lasting harm.
• Escape death in the real world by dying inside a dream and waking up.
• Control or manipulate the dream environment to prevent death.
• Persist indefinitely as a dream entity immune to normal death.
• Connect with others through shared dreams with linked immortality.

Practical Uses

• Useful for dream travelers, lucid dreamers, or mystics who enter dream realms.
• Provides a safe testing ground for combat or exploration without permanent risk.
• Enables infiltration or interaction with dream-based entities or dimensions.
• Acts as a fail-safe against death by allowing the user to awaken before true demise.
• Enables extended existence within dream worlds beyond physical limitations.

Variations

• Passive Dream Immortality: The user naturally survives any form of death in dreams, waking up or being expelled without harm, but has no conscious control over this process.
• Active Dream Immortality: The user consciously controls and manipulates their immortality within the dream, bending dream logic to prevent death or resurrect themselves, common among lucid dreamers or dream manipulators.
• Dream Entity Immortality: Entities that exist purely within dreams cannot die by normal means; however, their existence depends on the dream continuing and may vanish if the dream ends or is disrupted.
• Shared Dream Immortality: Multiple users connected to a single shared dream experience share this immortality; death within the dream causes expulsion or awakening rather than actual harm.

Possible Limitations

• Immortality applies only within the dream realm or during active dreaming; physical death or injury in reality is still possible.
• Dream entities may cease to exist if the dreamer wakes or if the dream is forcibly ended.
• The user’s physical body may be vulnerable to external threats while dreaming.
• Some forms may not protect against metaphysical or dream-specific attacks designed to erase or bind dreamers.
• Shared dreams may introduce vulnerabilities through connected consciousness.

Users

• Madotsuki (Yume Nikki): Madotsuki is a girl traveling in a dream, which varies on the interpretation from a simple dream to a shared collective unconscious of girls trapped within the dream world.
