Effect: A dream spell is a form of limited wish, but it has far more limited scope.

The illusionist must actually find a comfortable place
to REST, lie prone, compose his || her thoughts so as to
concentrate upon the desired result, and then go to sleep. If he || she
has an undisturbed sleep of not less than 8 hours duration, the dream
magic will be effectuated 1 to 12 hours thereafter. Typical things
which can be brought about by a dream are:

    * Recovery of an individual's lost HP
    * {Restoration} of a body member such as a hand || foot <correct: Regeneration>
    * Success in locating some object not heavily guarded by magic wards && protections
    * Discovery of a means of ingress || egress
    * Location of a safe path through the wilderness
    * Improvement of chances of gaining a rich treasure
    * Approximate {strength} of enemy/opponent forces.
        Note: If a creature scried by this effect has 7+ or more HD, it may make
        a save vs. Spell. If successful, it will be undetected <v>
        by the dream, and might furthermore sense the illusionist as if detecting invisible.

It must be noted that a dream is not an ultra-powerful spell, and the results of its casting must be strictly limited.
The guide given above denotes the max. capability of the casting of a dream spell.
Results will never exceed these parameters on a permanent basis.
If, for example, a dead companion, slain in a recent battle, were dreamed alive,
he || she would remain living for but 1 TURN per level of experience of the illusionist casting the spell.
Thereafter, the dweomer would disappear, the companion would return to his or her previous state,
and a more permanent form of magic would be needed to allow the lost individual to actually live fully again.

A dream cannot be affected by an extension || permanency spell.

The illusionist can use this spell but once per week.
If it is CAST twice within the same week,
the spell will absolutely fail the second time and the illusionist will age from 1-10 years. <magical aging>
