Not sure how to handle this, to be honest.
Sure, Zaddion's a Mage, his entire lifestyle is spent around controlling his own mind and resisting/manipulating exterior forces, but on the other hand it feels dirty if I keep pulling the "conditioned mind," card.
Might just sink further into the dream for now, his mind'll probably kick in when someone else accomplishes something.
FURTHERMORE: I have a feeling the longer this goes on the closer Adrass is to just murdering "Zaddion." You have my permission to do so if he snaps. There might be another way, if this dream-state works in the way I expect it to.
