[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4266053, member: 710"] In a Doctor Who episode of the 3rd season, there were some fey-like beings that stole children to become fey like them. That can be what fey want. Other fey might want their forest/swamp/lake be left undisturbed - or worse, they want it to expand and encompass a settlement, have wild animals hunt in a village. ("The Wyld Hunt") Other fey might want the dreams, emotions or the imagination of people. I think the first and the third are closest to mythology and folklore on feys. The second seems more modern (but I might be wrong), and related to seeing creatures of nature as "ecologist". If I am not mistaken, the German word for nightmare "Alptraum" is related to "Alpdruck", and the idea is that an Elf (Alp) (not a Tolkien or D&D elf) is sitting on your chest and causing the pain and fear in your dream. Changlings just as stealing children also belong into the realm of "fey activities". [/QUOTE]
