A dream about a lake
You dream of standing on a jetty. A great lake stretches away to the horizon. It is almost dusk. Gradually, you realise the lake is quietly on fire. The flames are green and blue. The flames call to you. It is difficult not to imagine their delicious, tickling touch on your skin.

Your desire is too strong. Take the plunge through the flames.
Stay still
Fight the temptation. It's a lake of fire, for heaven's sake!
Get into a boat
There's one under the jetty. (unlocked with having Recurring Dreams: Death by Water 6; A matter of luck: it could go either way.)
A dream about a bright fountain
You dream that you are back in the garden, the one that feels like a honey-dream. Suddenly, it is night. You have returned to the fountain, and now it is pouring forth streams of coruscating sparks. They fly into the air and are carried away by the breeze. Flames lap at the fountain's base, like a pool of fire in a stone bowl. The effect is extraordinary. How do you feel?
Unlocked with having Recurring Dreams: The Fire Sermon 5This does not feel right
Flames should not behave like that. Turn away.
This is fascinating
Draw closer. Closer. Closer…
Collect a handful of sparks
They move as if they were alive. Perhaps they are.

A dream about a will o'the wisp
You dream that you are wandering in the marshes. It is very dark, now. You have been waiting for the will o'the wisp this time. When it appears, its glow is as comforting as guiding starlight.
Unlocked with having Recurring Dreams: The Fire Sermon 9B——r the thing! You're not going to follow it!
Stay where you are. It can find someone else to lure into the mud. Admittedly this is your dream, so its options may be limited.
Faery treasure!
Did you really say 'faery'? Oh dear. But then, this is a dream. Follow the light and see what it marks.
(A matter of luck: it could go either way.)
A dream about a walk in the marshes
You dream of wandering in a lonely place. It is past dusk and there is a damp chill in the air. You can feel mud squelching underfoot. The ground is tussocky, and it is getting harder to see where you are going without tripping.
Over there. A ball of pale green flame rises up from behind a clump of fungus. It hangs in the air, flickering gently. You approach it, and it begins to float, erratically, away.
Unlocked with having Recurring Dreams: The Fire Sermon 9It's a corpse-candle! Leave it alone
You know the old stories. You will not be lured into a trap. Turn away from it. Stay where you are.
It's a natural phenomenon. Ignore it
Ignis fatuus. Foolish fire indeed. Keep walking and pay it no mind.
It's fascinating. Watch it.
It won't hurt to linger just a little longer.

A dream about a burning river
You dream that you are standing on a bridge at the centre of the city. Dawn is breaking. A fiery orange sun rises; blinding light bounces from the water. Look down. The river is on fire, flaming palely in the sun. You need to drop something into it. But what?
