Dream: An item that is made from sheepskin / wool that protects against nightmares / the dream spell ?
**Dreamsight Ring** *Ring, uncommon* This finely-crafted ring has a cloudy diamond set in it, inside which can be seen vague moving shapes. If you are affected by a spell that creates illusions that are only visible to you, the ring glows white and projects cloudy images of the illusion that are visible to others. These images are obviously illusory. Additionally, when you sleep while wearing this ring, your dreams are projected as cloudy illusions within a 15ft diameter sphere centered on you. This effect also projects the meditative exercises of creatures with the *trance* ability. [Mostly flavor effects, but fun for the potential RP value; as a note, trance is part of the SRD elf race] **Dreampiercer** *Weapon (dart), very rare* This bizarre dart seems to shimmer uncanily, wreathed in dreamlike images and patterns. When you hit a target with this dart, it is destroyed in a burst of those visions as you are pulled into the target's consciousness. You become invisible to all creatures except the target and can't be affected by other creatures. Additionally, you can't interact with any creatures except for the target and can't interact with objects. Any damage you deal to the target is treated as psychic damage. You remain in the target's mind for 1 minute, until the target dies, or until you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). [Definitely a weird one, as it basically functions as phantasmal force but leaves you with your abilities; forces an unusual 1-v-1 where neither combatant can get direct help] **Dreamweaver's Song** *Wondrous item, very rare* This odd, octagonal music box is laced with dreamlike, fairy-tale styled stained glass inlays, and always plays a tune familiar to the person who winds it. When you wind this music box for 1 minute, it teleports into the ethereal plane while you and up to 7 willing creatures within 30 feet of it appear in a demiplane resembling the interior of the music box. The demiplane has a central room that includes typical amenities, with doors that open onto 8 rooms. Each room corresponds to 1 of the creatures in the demiplane, reflecting the setting that would make it the most comfortable. If there are fewer than 8 creatures, the corresponding rooms remain locked. The rooms are capable of generating nonmagical equipment when requested by the creature. The demiplane remains for 12 hours, until all the creatures inside of it agree to leave, or until the music box takes any damage. After the effect ends, any equipment generated by the demiplane disappears, the creatures reappear where they were before the music box was wound and the music box returns with them. After this, the music box can't be wound again for 2d12 hours. [A dream-styled variant of something like Magnificent Mansion; may need more mechanical effects/flavor to make it feel properly unique]
A nightmare's horseshoe made into a belt buckle, grants fire resist and an etheral jaunt attack.
Dream Saber weapon (scimitar) A weapon forged from the clouds of the Astral Plane. Can cast Sleep spell then use suggestion, and detect thoughts on the sleeping creature.
Dream Traveler's Lantern: The lantern guides the traveler through different territories of both the Dream realm and individuals' dreams. The lantern could have a multitude of properties, open to ideas there...one that I had was being able to locate specific kinds of beings within a given radius, another might be illuminating the thoughts of an individual whose dreams they travel through 🤔
“When hunting vampires” - A silver coin that faintly hums when undead of CR 1 or higher are nearby. Once a day can be tossed up to 30 feet away, casting dawn centered on itself
"when hunting vampires"... garlic mentos
Something you'd find in a magical distillery - A flask connected to magically lined condenser and bellows; casting a spell in the bellows produces a potion within 2d4 hours; the flavor and magical effect are determined by the DM
