"''The dream marines, they live inside of my head. The dream marines, they come to me in my bed. The dream marines, they're coming to arBLAM''"


The Dream Warriors, also known as the Sleepy Marines are one of the most faithful chapters of Space Marines in the [[Imperium of Man]], as their fight is not only limited to the physical world, since it reaches the ethereal realms of dreams.

They Sleepy Marines are a successor chapter of the Exorcists, making them impervious to [[Daemon|daemonic possession]], this makes them perfect for taking the fight to the enemy. During their time as an initiate they are taught how to lucid dream: the ability to control and manipulate the dream around them.  After training they are linked into the Beacon Mainframe while they slumber; it acts as a psychic beacon, although it doesn't work like the Astronomicon.  They are passive psykers, not being able summon psychic powers themselves but being able to manipulate it for their usage, also a beneficial tool against the [[Chaos|Great Enemy]].  The Beacon acts like a controlled [[Warp]] Storm that brings the malign powers of the Warp into the Mainframe, and are held there like the containment grid in Ghost Busters.  Basically [[Meme|it's a trap.]]  After they're successfully contained the Marines are go to battle and defeat their foes.  If a Marine is slain his conscious is forced out of his body and kept in the mainframe, literally a ghost in the shell kind of deal. These 'Ghost' Marines are called Nightmares, because they appear out of nowhere and wreak fervent wrath upon the daemons assaulting their still living brothers.

Dreams naturally touch upon the borders of the [[Warp|Immaterium]], so one does not need to be a psyker to go into the dream world, but it takes years of training to not only be able to control one's dream, but to step outside of dreams and into the reality between dreams, along with combat in such areas.

That's their strength, but it's also their weakness, as even the mightiest warriors of the [[Emperor]] need rest, something that the Sleepy Marines can never have.

In their sleep, within their dreams, the Dream Warriors fight the forces of Chaos that lurks in the nightmares of every imperial citizen, keeping them safe where they are most vulnerable.
That's their fight, a never ending fight for the Imperium, for the hopes and dreams of even the lowliest [[Imperial Guard|guardsman]].
