The '''Oneiroi''' are a type of intelligent [[Thoughtforms|thoughtform]] entities which biological lifeforms connected to the Oneirosphere become during sleep (simultaneously giving the reality the form necessary for it to exist), functioning akin to avatars which can be used interact with their own and other people's subconscious worlds during sleep. Not everyone is able to clearly perceive and remember experiences in the Oneirosphere, often forgetting or misinterpreting the Dream Entities and Visitors they met in their dream, especially if their dreams are especially incoherent. There are two main types of Oneiroi, 'Corporeal Oneroi' and 'Non-Corporeal Oneiroi', which are either constituent consciousnesses of an [[Egregore]] or 'Transitories' which visit other dreamscapes without a mental link. Appearance-wise, Oneiroi vary wildly as they are able to shapeshift to some degree in order to assume a form of their own design, with the default unmodified form most being a shadowy replica of their (former or current) corporeal body, though of course in Egregores with more cohesive/integrated structures the forms of the constituent Oneiroi tend to fairly uniform<ref><span style="color:#FFFFFF">In Eunoia, most Oneiroi have a very | {{Container4|header=Oneiroi | ||

If they are skilled enough, Oneiroi can travel from their own Dreamscape to other people's Dreamscapes based on either physical proximity in corporeal from which they are able to travel further by using said people as 'relay points' reality or through connecting to an Egregore (which act like easily navigable chains of relays), connecting their own subconscious with whichever Dreamscape they enter in order to enter it<ref><span style="color:#FFFFFF">This is generally safe, though certain 'unstable' people or those controlled by more strict Egregores can be hazardous</ref>.
