**Fae Facts:**
The concept of dreamwalking or dream telepathy appears quite frequently in fiction, including anime. While both lucid dreaming (consciously controlling one’s own dreams) and oneiromancy (prophetic dreams) have a strong history and mythology, dreamwalking appears less frequently and in more modern contexts, at least in western sources and is generally regarded as no more than pseudoscience. If anyone has any japanese mythology sources, I’d love to hear them!
