DreamSpying occurs when a character dreams of something that is currently happening somewhere else. For example, the hero passes out and dreams he's in the war room of an enemy and getting details on their plot.
Mostly seen in fantasy or supernatural stories, and may be explained with a PsychicLink. This is useful for giving the protagonist information he wouldn't have access to any other way. The dreaming character rarely has control over the power, and is often forced to watch scenes he doesn't want to. May invoke ExactEavesdropping, although the less understood, the more challenging for the hero. Time constraints are often strict; even if you can rely on the dream spy to find out what the enemy is up to, you will often have to wait for it. Can also shade into TalkingInYourDreams.
Protagonists beware: If the eavesdropped is aware of the spying, he may use that knowledge to set a trap.
