Thanks for the pointers guys, when I heard you bring up Lovecraft, and taking ideas from things like that, and rehashing existing characters the whole picture started coming together for me, it helps having a copy of the Cthulhu Mythos on hand as well. Dreams in general have been an on-going theme in several of my games, and those of my friends, and I decided I wanted to focus on that aspect of a game, and make it the core of setting, whilst still having the players interacting with the physical realm, and the affects that the nightmares are having on it.
