Reality itself is a sharing of mind over matter. Matter behaves like minds sharing the same dreamscape. (Compare how the ethereal domains in the Feywild and Shadowfell work. A mind shapes this locale.)The "weave" comes later. It is the solidifying of this primal matter, becoming less responsive to minds. It makes reality more stable but also impersonal and objectifying. The weave is like strands forming a spiderweb. It threatens to entrap and choke conscious minds if left unchecked.There is general agreement that ones own conscious mind is vital, but that a stable reality is useful. So both mind and weave are important, but there is tension between the two.</blockquote>
