Somnaria 101

Somnaria 101  is a one-page solo journaling RPG & beginners guide to creating dream enclosures  for aspiring dream architects. A Somnarium is a container in which a dream ecosystyem can be kept, studied, & explored.

Have you always wanted to live out a certain fantasy? Does your neighbour keep having the same dream over and over? You can’t get rid of that one nightmare?
By creating a Somnarium you can catch this dream and find out what it needs to help you.

Nurture your dreams by answering the daily council of the cards to help you figure out with they need. Write down what each prompt sparks within your dream and watch a story unfold. 
Some dreams might only need a day to be concluded, others could take weeks. Answer the council of your cards once a day to find out what your dream needs.
