+=== School of Dreaming ===
+The School of Dreaming is a particularly ancient breed of magic that traces its history even to Old Earth, claiming root ancestry from tales such as the Lady of the Lake or the witches of Sleepy Hollow. This school is based around female practitioners who are a loose cult of predestination, believing that witches are present to help the heroes of history they see their role as to be secondary characters enabling world changing events.
+Although the witches version of these romantic tales tends to involve a lot more illegitimate daughters sired by said heroes, stormy romances, and rather more bloodshed and dark deeds. Many practitioners both worship and fear a Weald entity known as the Lord of Dreams who appears most often in their rites of passage, as such many in this school tread the Weald willingly,  but with a strong dose of caution that perhaps the Weald will make use of them, too.
+Recently this school has undergone a mild schism between a traditionalist and modernist alliances of covens, although the exact nature of witch politics and the dealings of the covens is murky and ever-changing that only they can often read them clearly. Hagbloods rarely settle these things with force, and witches from these different branches are still often seen working together if needs must.
+Dreaming magic rarely uses divinity to channel its will, instead relying more often upon Weald and dimensional mastery, common enchantments, and the magical energy produced by human thought and places of power. Dreamers are particular good at charms and influencing others, as well as enchanting magical items as well as some skill at divination. Dreamers tend to be weaker in divine magic, destruction, and purely elemental magic.
