Dream-Hunters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dream-Hunters are fictional characters from the Dark-Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. They are children of the Greek gods of sleep. Some of the Dream-Hunters have human mothers, but most are born of the Greek goddess Mist. Dream-Hunters protect the humans, Apollites, and immortals while they sleep.

Dream-Hunters are also helpers to the Dark-Hunters and Were-Hunters when they need help from the gods or healing.

[edit] Oneroi

A very long time ago, one of the Oneroi played a trick on the Greek god Zeus. In anger, Zeus cursed all their kind to have no emotion whatsoever. Now the only time they can feel anything is when they are in a human's dream. Because of this, Oneroi can only visit dreams and they can never revisit the same human again. There are a few Dream-Hunters who prefer to stay out of dreams and only enter the dreams to police their brethren.

The Oneroi take a prefix to their name so that everyone will know their role:

  • M' - are the enforcers (they work as a police force) and are the leaders of the other Dream-Hunters.
  • V' - are the ones who help humans who are having trouble sleeping or who have nightmares.
  • D' - are the ones who help the gods and immortals (i.e. Dark-Hunters or Were-Hunters).

[edit] Skoti

When a Dream-Hunter becomes captivated by a dreamer, and instigates the dreams and alter them to enhance their borrowed emotions. When this happens they are termed Skoti and now the enemy against the other Oneroi. Most Skoti are the sons of Phobetor, though on occasion others may join their ranks including the Oneroi and humans.

The Oneroi work to seek them out and punish them for their actions, however many Skoti go unchecked and uncaught. They inhabit dreams as incubi and succubi.
