This chapter will be updated regularly with new characters who will appear in the future ! I will also add some information about them and their role in the story/NCT theory !
Reminder : don't be surprised if I change their actual age, this is for the coherence of the story. One cannot be 18 but be a certified scientist, for instance.

GLOSSARY :
Neo Zone : parallel universe accessible to all the Neos through their dreams. Was accidentally created by Taeyong during his NDE (near-death experience). Almost everything that exists in the Neo Zone is created during Stage 5 (lucid dream) by the visualizing operators.
Visualizing operator: constructor of the Neo Zone or any other parallel universe.
Neo-wave: electrical frequency that is created in great amount by the brains of sleeping visualizing operators.
Reality tester : various tricks and objects that allow the lucid dreamers to differentiate between dreams and reality.
7th sense : awakened sense of individuality that allows an average dreamer to reach the state of lucid dream. Creates a state of lucidity that persists up to a certain level of unconsciousness.
Empathy : act of integrating the stable universe of a visualizing operator. Happens in stage 4 called "empathy phase".
Musical Cognition Theory: theory defending the thesis that the creator of a melody gains a certain power over his listeners' subconsciousness.
