"[first journey into Dream] Not what you expected, is it, traveller? You are here because you want to find the answer to something that troubles you. Why, then, wouldn't Dream seem dark and mysterious at first? Do not be afraid. The fragrance of your offering still lingers. It pleases me. So, I shall light this darkness for you, and lead you to the ones you call "the Ancestors". [the light level rises, as what looks like a swarm of fireflies goes by] He is not an ancestor. Like yourself, he is but a traveller here, and if his guide brings him close, you should touch him, to experience as much of Dream as you can. Dream is often visited by such creatures - temporary inhabitants, seeking the enlightenment they cannot find in their waking lives. They do not have the wisdom to shape Dream, as the Ancestors do, but they can still learn much by seeing what possibilities exist here. Sometimes, they come just to seek distraction."
