Dreammist

Street Names: Mist, Whisper, Veil Dust, Dreamleaf Smoke

Type: Inhalant or smoked vapor

Rarity: Uncommon to Rare (depending on region)

Effects: Mild euphoria, vivid hallucinations, dreamlike visions

Dreammist is a powerful, mind-altering substance derived from the crushed petals of the Somnus Bloom, a rare and luminescent flower found only in the deepest, shadow-drenched parts of the Feywild or grown in secret under magically controlled conditions. When dried and smoked or vaporized, Dreammist induces a trance-like state where the user experiences intense euphoria, surreal visions, and the sensation of stepping into their own dreams.

In small, controlled doses, Dreammist can be used as a meditative tool by seers, warlocks, or certain monks who seek insight from dream-realms or other planes of existence. However, prolonged use leads to addiction, hallucinations that blur into waking life, and a creeping detachment from reality. Heavy users may develop a condition known as "the Shimmer", where they lose the ability to distinguish dreams from the real world.

In some underworld circles, Dreammist is used as a tool for manipulation—administered to victims to extract secrets, enforce obedience, or keep them docile. It is particularly popular in the criminal dens of cities like Luskan, Skullport, and the lower districts of Waterdeep.
