ARCHIVE ARTWORK / TRUE APPEARANCE UNKNOWN

01 / THE UNKNOWN

No one has seen a Sleeper.

Human. Enhanced human. A being operating inside a human shell. A government experiment. None of these explanations has been confirmed. Their identity remains a mystery, as does the mechanism that allows them to enter anyone’s dreams.

In the dream state, their power appears almost godlike. But appearances are part of their advantage.

02 / THE MEMORY THAT NEVER HAPPENED

An entire life.
Without having lived it.

Fabricated lives

Sleepers can implant artificial memories of an entire lifetime. To the person carrying them, those memories are indistinguishable from authentic experience.

Altered perception

They can make a victim believe they inhabit another reality. The manipulation changes the person’s perception, rather than physically rewriting the world around them.

The missing past

They can erase access to memories and leave amnesia—or replace what is missing with a fabricated past. Implanted memories require no maintenance.

BENEATH THE FABRICATION

The real memories remain.

Buried within the individual, authentic memories may begin sending signals through the subconscious during dreams. Whether those signals lead to recognition or recovery depends on the person.

Every brain is different. Every person’s will is different. Some may break through. For others, the loss may be effectively permanent.

03 / THE INVADER CAN BLEED

It is still your dream.

The victim possesses power equal to the Sleeper within their own dream. Most do not know it. Recognizing both the manipulation and the invader makes resistance possible; using that power demands strength of mind and will.

Real consequences

Both victim and Sleeper can be injured. Both can be killed. A Sleeper’s dream dominance can end a victim’s life in their sleep.

Awareness changes the battle

A surviving Sleeper may attack again. But an aware victim can anticipate the invasion and gains the upper hand. The battles that follow are still difficult.

04 / CONNECTIONS & UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

The mystery reaches beyond sleep.

ESTABLISHED CONNECTION

The Church of the Chosen

The Church has a strong connection to the Sleepers. How that connection began, why it exists, and the nature of their relationship remain unknown.

Their ability to manipulate a victim’s perceived reality is established.
