Dream Gatekeeper
A dream gatekeeper is a type of gatekeeper that specifically manages and organizes things related to dreams/dreaming for headmates across the system.

Management of dreams can range from only focusing on memories and choosing to give or take away specific memories of dreams to having total control of who fronts during dreams, the content of dreams themselves, and/or the processing of those dreams after waking up. Dream gatekeepers manage both nightmares and dreams the same. However, some systems may have one dream gatekeeper that only manages dreams, and another that only manages nightmares.

Dream gatekeepers are usually only active when the body is sleeping, although not always the case. Dream gatekeepers may even be entirely unaware of the outer world, only aware of internal happenings when the body is asleep, or very drowsy.
