First Principles
"Even objects have dreams."
Minerva's understanding of the Dreamlands has deepened to the point that she can fully realize some of its more interesting secrets - even objects have dreams, for one thing. They often dream of themselves, doing their purpose, but also the areas they have found themselves in.
They require something, though, to enter their dreams, as the connection is more tenuous. Minerva always leaves a bit of herself behind forcing into them.
