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.

Aureelle is a Daydream Dragon with absolutely no compunction about dropping daydreams on Alvynear-- in fact, he follows her around on purpose, to prevent her working. She is not the only human he does this to, but she is his favorite, and he can usually be found hovering nearby. He is very careful not to be seen, because Alvynear will chase him off if she notices his presence.
