[QUOTE="lin_fusan, post: 5255395, member: 37085"] I think there should be a mechanic in the system where the player have the freedom to choose their level of escalation and risk. For example, in the beginning of an inception/(what was the name they gave for a regular job stealing unconscious secrets?), the mark would be "Unaware/Dreaming" so long as the characters maintain the normal level of reality and physics. In a tough situation, a player could choose to up the ante and bend physics a little. This would raise (either automatically or increasingly difficult randomness) the mark's level to "Aware of the Dream" which will make the mark passively hostile to the dream and make further actions harder. After that, the player could up the ante again and do something really outrageous, and increase the mark's level to "Aware of the Incursion" which will make the mark actively hostile to the dream. So the players will have the freedom to decide if they want multiple dreams, since each level of awareness only effects the current dream.
