The Rider in Shameful Dreams is an akathartos that represents sexual repression.[1] It is known to haunt the dreams of those it enters.[1]
Overview[]
A Deceptor born from the Temenos of a master Mage who cast out her "inappropriate" desires, the Rider grew strong in the Astral Realm, feeding on the sexual regret and embarrassment of victims in their dreams.[2] It prefers women as victims, though it is capable of preying upon men as well.[2]
The Rider lacks a defined form, though is always sits astride some form of transportation (e.g. a horse, a bicycle).[2]
Summoning[]
Summoning the Rider in Shameful Dreams requires just such a dream as a lure.[2] Someone must then describe that dream in writing, explicitly naming the dreamer and referencing their shame and enjoyment both.[3] The Rider will then enter the individual's dream and the invocation and negotiation may begin.[3]
