=== Dreams ===

It's pretty important that Leviathans don't knock Changelings from their spot as the Dream Splat. But at the same time Leviathans are changing reality with their Dreams that's pretty big. So here's how it goes down. 

A Leviathan can't use Channels inside a dream like a Changeling couldn't use, say Eternal Summer 5 (but might fake it with dream combat), but when in their own dream all Skill and Attribute boosting Channels (if they cost no Ichor) are considered to be at their Depth 6 level. This includes the Depth 2 Iteration of Peircing the Veil of slumber. When projecting into another's mind with Veil of Slumber or any other method the Lev does benefit from these Channels, but only up to the current Depth of their physical body.

A Lev's dreams are really easy to find, all their Beloved are considered to be intimately linked and anyone Wake Vulnerable in who spent a non-insignificant amount of time in the wake within the last half-Sheol days is considered to be half-sheol steps closer. Round down minimum of one. People sleeping in the Wake are considered to be Sheol steps closer. Of course Lev dreams are dangerous. 

If a Leviathan wants to get into another's dreams it might be possible with a ritual. Without that all they have is Veil of Slumbers which actually replaces existing dreams. It's powerful but you can't, for example, study existing dreams with it. Basically Veil of Slumbers is mechanically considered to be to Dream Poisoning (but it is technically different after all, letting a Lev into the mind requires different things than a True Fae). Changelings can undo it like Dream Poison.

If a Lev does somehow end up in another dream they have a disadvantage: They can't lower their dicepool to avoid waking people up. 

Dream combat works as in Changeling. Levs are way more "bull-in-a-china-shop" lings when it comes to dreams. Maybe give a bonus to personal attacks but an equal penalty to environmental. Maybe not that's technically an advantage. 

Veil of Slumbers cannot affect a Dream Bastion.

A plot hook where a cunning Changeling keeps sneeking into a Lev that's been sleeping for years. The ling is good enough to remain unnoticed despite the enormous Veil of Slumbers penalty. Said Ling hijacks its use of Veil of Slumbers 6 to manipulate reality for it's own ends.
