1. If it's getting to the point of having varying degrees of utility or strength, that would be something you would need to have as a separate power or potentially a weapon upgrade! You can definitely flavour it in-universe as just being different levels of charge on the same basic attack, though.
4. That would be fine! Like any other power, it would start at a low rank and would need to be upgraded from there. I would also say that any powers she learns directly from other characters will be slightly less effective than the originals, just for the sake of fairness to the folks whose powers she's learning.
7. That would work just fine! Memory loss in victims varies from character to character - in-universe, the process by which it happens isn't fully understood and from a player perspective, this aspect of the lore is left a little loose to let people play around with it as best suits their character.
8. This would be absolutely fine!
9. Thankfully, Dreamers can't die due to damage taken in the Dream Sphere! Just as their aches and pains largely disappear when they wake up, any injury that would otherwise be 'fatal' to them simply boots them out of the Dream Sphere. There are instances of Dreamers disappearing and being 'lost' within the Dream Sphere, but this isn't typically something connected to Nightmare attacks.
10. Not only can this happen, we have a few Government Assigned Mentors as it is! The DU is, unfortunately, full of pleasantly interfering types like that.
11. They absolutely would! Since Dreamers have such wonky schedules as it is, a character needing a bit of flexibility in their work schedule isn't anything the DU is new to – especially if this is because of a disability that needs accommodating for in the Waking World too. She'd be offered additional help and support if and when she asked for it as well.
12. This is generally what a good handful of full time Dreamers do, so she'd definitely be allowed to take up a job like that - we have another character in game who has a similar position so she'd have a coworker as well! It wouldn't be something she would earn a huge amount of extra money for, but depending on how much time she spends in the Dream Sphere itself, she'd get a bonus or two here and there.
13. This is something Dreamers instinctively do! Some characters will choose their own Dreamer name but a lot of characters tend to Awaken and already know the name of their Dreamer form and their powers. From a player perspective, this is mostly just to let people whose characters might not be inclined to give their attacks fancy names the chance to still play around in that space and make their grumpy old mahous shout cool finishing moves.
14. It varies from character to character! Referring to someone by their Dreamer name in the Dream Sphere is generally the done thing to do but how much anyone really minds being referred to by their real name in the Dream Sphere (and vice versa in the waking world) will depend on the individual character's relationship with their other self. She wouldn't necessarily get in trouble for it, if that's your worry!
