Dreamvine is a parasitic plant in the Shadow World history which is still represented on the Coastal Cliffs and at the ruins of Vorn Ahvis near Solhaven. They creep at the base of trees until something lies down on their black leaves, which will expose the victim to a hallucinogenic poison that seduces them with feelings of dreamy euphoria. They will be lulled into a perpetual dream state while the vines suck the fluids from their body, and they will have no will to escape even if they wake up. Its symbolic value as related to Bandur and Kestrel Etrevion is the dreamlands allusions of their associated areas including especially Purgatory.
It is not to be confused with the Dreamer or "Dreamdeath" lichen, which is another archaic flora of the region from the I.C.E. Age. This fungus will produce similar bliss or terrifying delirium often ending in death. There is a recurring motif of using fungi in these locations which make obscure references to stories by H.P. Lovecraft, most notably below The Graveyard and The Broken Lands.
