The Mists

The Mists serve as a barrier between the Dreaming and the terrestrial world, protecting the former from banality. As a side effect, the Mists rob the kithain from clear, coherent memories of their fae selves, of Arcadia and their deeds there. Likewise, they hide the Dreaming and all things related to the Fae from adult human observation. The banality inherent in ordinary humans blinds them,  An Enchanted human loses their comfortable layers of reality, logic and cynicism and is exposed to the Dreaming through the glamour that has been infused in them. As soon as they fall asleep, however, the Mists will rush in, stealing away their memories and making them rational disbelievers once more. Prodigals and mortals with extremely low natural banality (psychotics, small children, etc.,) are more likely to remember details and sleep for shorter periods of time.
