» this love / it tears apart / and soars like a shooting star / just scream, "a lover's guide to a lucid dream"

I.

believers can scream their name in a lucid dream to be transported to their dream realm - a valley in blue, orange and pink, surrounded by tall mountains and has a glowing river. the river is made up of purified tears from broken lovers. it defies gravity by pouring into the valley from one mountain and up another. the water has warm, soothing qualities. however, not anyone can meet Guide. only lovers in need of healing will be able to see Guide, and when they are summoned, the valley will be painted white. to lucid dream for the purpose of traveling to the realm is simple - hire a hypnotist and listen to the sounds of wind chimes.

the lovers go through a healing ritual by bathing in the river and follow Guide's instructions on how to tap into nostalgia for a series of reflections on their relationship. it usually takes less than a day, but sometimes up to 3 (it cannot take too long as they need to wake up to attend to their physical bodies). most lovers wake up with a resolution, if not a solid start. they will be able to move on from their relationship more easily. if Guide manages to help the couple reach a resolution before they wake up, Guide will craft a small star with their memories and yank it into the sky like a shooting star, signifying the end of their relationship.

II.

- Guide cannot travel to the physical world and mostly roams around in the dream realm or in mortals' dreams. They have observed dreams for eons. Although dreams are abstract, they very well evoke emotions in humans. Therefore, Guide has developed the ability to understand mortals. Guide acts as a bridge between mortals and immortals, and lets immortals understand humans better.
- They blink sideways but their eye may still depict emotions like mortals. Their body parts are see-through and reflect the landscape of the valley - like mirrors in Roblox, if you know you know lol.
- Guide doesn't speak but understands human language. They make sounds like screeching, grunting, purring etc., but humans still understand them, because, well, bizarre things happen in dreams lmfao it doesn't need to make sense (voice claim: leshy from cult of the lamb?? LMFAO)
- They make chiming sounds when they walk.
- Really playful. They're professional at their job, and they act serious at first but when the mood lightens they start to act a little silly. Is the funny friend in the group.
- Has a fascination with cards. Loves all sorts of card games and stuff like tarot reading and uno.
- Likes delicate, flying animals, especially butterflies, moths and hummingbirds.

III.

- their staff is used to summon or transport people (usually other immortals) into dreams; Guide draws a circle around a person and jabs the ring (wow the owl house reference), and they can follow them into dreamwalking. it is usually for the purpose to help other immortals understand humans better via observation.
- trivia: their staff is actually based on the cover art of two other Safia songs, namely Float and Falling Down.
