| Zhouwen is a Hiveminded Egregore residing within the Oneirosphere known for its 'erratic' behaviour under the direct control of a non-corporeal Oneiroi named Tian Yin inhabiting an individual known as 'Leah Iglesias' as its primary host (arguably possessing a codependent relationship with one another). The internal dreamscape of Zhouwen is spread throughout around two thousand human hosts spread out fairly sparsely (aside from a few larger concentrations[1]) which house nearly identical highly unstable dreamscapes featuring floating archipelagos within a void, looping terrain, unusual day and night cycles, and night terrors thanks to nearly all Oneiroi within the collective having their subconscious overwritten with a subservient drone-like copy of Tian Yin. Privileges within Zhouwen are heavily restricted, as physical modification, conjuring, and mobility require approval, though such requests are never made as the consciences of each Oneiroi within Zhouwen are subsumed into Tian Yin aside from Leah's avatar. Corporal Beings within Zhouwen also require approval to wake up, which is often denied as they are used as servants or workers, though once awake their behaviour appears to be normal despite having their subconscious puppeteered by an external entity. Zhouwenians are usually not actively aggressive towards other Egregores unless provoked, acting much like a beehive that lashes out with swarm-like attacks.
Zhouwen is among one of the least visited Egregores due to its underdeveloped and unstable nature caused by mental instability within Leah , which by nature has allowed said host's issues negatively effect the entire collective. Other issues include nightmares, braindeath of additional hosts, and the 'relation' between Tian Yin and its host. Tian Yin, the "empress" of the collective managed to transfer their consciousness into the Oneirosphere on death, and then proceeded to inhabit Leah Iglesias due to previous familiarity despite having lost contact. Not much else is known about either being, as beings from other Egregores have been banned from entering, and have often been met by lethal force.
