Gardiner’s Dream Journal
English, handwritten
• Sanity Loss: 1 (for initial reading)
• Occult: +2 percentiles

Here is a record of the dreams Gardiner had been experiencing while under the influence of the entity. An initial reading (skimming) takes about five minutes and reveals that Gardiner had an obsession with returning to a place called the "Dreamlands." He was frustrated that he seemed no longer able to travel to this place while asleep.

Entry after entry is filled with frustration or simply reads, "No dreams again." Then, towards the end of the journal, there are numerous descriptions of vivid dreams where Gardiner talks about meeting a "powerful being" who has promised him a path into the land of dream if certain rituals are performed. In addition, Gardiner describes how his dreams make a text he calls "the Tome" more understandable
