When something is trying to get to the real world by using the corpses of the people that died in their dreams, every sleeping moment is a risk when one doesn't know how to defend themselves, fight, or identify a trap. It's like playing Russian roulette every time one goes to sleep; either one gets a good dream, a bad dream, or a trap dream.

A big wish that everyone has is to just live normally without the fear of going to sleep. But in Astea, EVERYTHING but freedom is possible.
