One thing to consider......dreams/oobs are not always what they appear, or seem to be. We can be easily fooled if we aren't careful.
For example, one nite I found myself aboard a ship. A person I knew approached with a cube...said this is our latest.....try it out. Which meant use my power on it. So i did. I generate massive amounts of power thru my hands. I had the box jumping and sounding off.....slammed it thru the air.....just had fun. The box turned into a beaten animal screaming in pain. I was horrified at what I had done.
The person who gave me the cube was not the person they portrayed. The cube was one of their infernal machines they needed powered up and I had stupidly just done so. The cube was not an animal...they made me see an animal so i would be too terrified to used my power against their will. They are evil bastards. Trust no one.
