For the most part, dream linked stuff in dungeons and dragons is generally in the realm of sleep spells, communication through dreams, or nightmares. While some of these spells are quite useful, I think that dreams are an element much like any of the numerous fire, ice, lightning, earth and other spells with connections to the various planes of existance. This is where I am putting in the idea(based in part on various magical girl anime, as well as other instances where the dream world has become a part of the story) that there is an elemental plane of dreams, much like there is for fire, ice and other elemental forces.
Dream magic is something of an elemental anomaly, being potentially any element at any given time. Much like the wild magic sorcerer of dnd 4th, the players make the attack roll, and then roll a d6 when it comes to the element of the spell.
1.no element(or physical)
2.fire
3.ice(or water)
4.acid(or earth)
5.lightning(or wind)
6.direct damage with no reduction for armour or elemental(magical).
As for the look of it, think of the most interesting/bizzare, flashy, or beautiful looking images you have ever seen, then translate that into an attack. Like a flurry of exploding rose petals, or a rainbow beam of sparkly doom.
Any ideas on what kind of spells would work with this. Or what sort of hexs, archetypes or other ideas you have about this sort of thing.
