===Synopsis===
A washed-up and disillusioned dilletante has taken a mysterious drug to escape from reality into Dream, and from there has fled on one of the unspeakable Green Galleons to the Xura, Land of Unattainable Pleasures, where he has fallen under the power of a Dreamlands horror which will use the unconscious dreamer's body as a gateway into the Waking World. The investigators must make their way into the Dreamlands to stop this from happening.

===Comments===
List dedication, trivia, images, anything else of note.

===Keeper Comments===
Comments to Keepers about this scenario;
Possibly how to run it successfully.
Keep general DISCUSSION on the talk page.

Setting: [[Dreamlands]]; the [[Waking World]] location is left to the keeper, the events could take place in any city.

Special Notes: "A scenario for experienced investigators and keepers... this scenario makes strong demands on the narrative and descriptive powers of keeers... study this adventure carefully before you decide to present it." The scenario uses descriptions of Dreamlands locations which differ from those provided elsewhere in ''[[H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands]]''; the scenario's author suggests this mutability as a quality of the Dreamlands experience. This scenario is very light on physical conflict and investigation, and by the time the investigators reach Xura the scenario has veered off into heavily symbolic, cerebral, and philosophical territory for the investigators to carefully navigate with potentially heavy demands to be made on the the player's grasp on the investigator's characterization, motivation, and psychology; this sort of scenario isn't for everyone, and groups that prefer a lot of combat action to swashbuckle through or mysteries to investigate may be baffled by this one.
