Zhouwen is an erratic and violent Hive-Mind entity residing within the Oneirosphere under the direct control of a non-corporeal Oneiroi named Tian Yin. The internal dreamscape of Zhouwen is spread throughout a group of a few hundred geographically[1] proximate human hosts which house identical highly unstable dreamscapes featuring floating archipelagos, looping terrain, unusual day and night cycles, and night terrors. This topography exists within void (depending on government approval).
Priviliges within Zhouwen are heavily restricted, as physical modification, conjuring, and mobility require government approval. Corporal Beings within Zhouwen also require approval to wake up, which is often denied as they are used as servants or workers. Zhouwenians are usually not actively aggressive towards other Egregores unless provoked, acting much like a beehive
Zhouwen is among one of the least visited Egregores due to its underdeveloped and unstable nature. The reason behind Zhouwen's issues is theorised to it being centred within a mentally unstable host, which by nature has allowed said host's issues negatively effect the Dreamscape that Zhouwen is centred in. Other issues include nightmares, death of additional hosts, and the Capital Host being aware of the collective's presence and thus trying to oust it from his mind during lucid dreams.
Tian Yin, the "empress" of the collective managed to transfer their consciousness into the Oneirosphere on death, and then proceeded to inhabit Leo Taylor out of desperation. Not much else is known about either being, as beings from Oneiroi-Noctua have been banned from entering, and have often been met by lethal force.
