Daydream Dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near Daydream Dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Anya Polina Arsenyovich, daydream dragon of the aristocratic Arsenyo Family. Anya Polina is a daydream dragon, she floats around with the balloon dragons of the Family and other daydream dragons by the human populations. The scholar, Arsenyo, liked her particularly because she was able to read what daydream Arsenyo himself wanted, and most likely a lot of other people who have gone into her trances. Her body is slim and light, her wings are wide and tough enough to deflect even the paws of an earth dragon. Her tail is long and swishy, used for balancing herself on the clouds. Her face is beautiful compared to other races of dragons. Her eyes are a glowing light purple. When she is threatened, she uses her wings to deflect her enemy and run off, if possible to put the threat in a trance. She and her husband, Arsenyo Mari, have six children, five of which still live with the Family.
