THE NEW MOON AND YOU: An Introduction to Homestuck Dreaming
So as of This Post, Jade Harley has officially bought and received an entire moon! This post is basically a simple explanation of the mechanics of Dreaming from Homestuck, for people who might not be so up on their updates.
Basically: Prospit is a golden moon! It is the same size as a regular moon, but a little bit different. Instead of a barren wasteland, it's an entire city, made entirely of gold. In Homestuck, if you are a Prospit Dreamer, once you Awaken you get to live in your sleep on this pretty damn cool moon! The people who live there -- white carapace called Prospitians -- love their dreamers. They practically worship them! It is a mystical place...well, straight out of a dream. Prospit is also special because people who are awake there can witness visions of the past, present and future, if you know how to look at the clouds of Skaia in just the right way. There is also another moon, called Derse, but since no one has bought that one, there remains only one available dreaming moon right now.
SO WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU IS:
• Anyone can dream on Prospit. Even people who are not from Homestuck or people from Homestuck who are technically Derse dreamers! All you have to do is buy the pendant.
• Anyone can buy a Dreamboat Pendant. That means you (yes, you!) can dream on Prospit too! If you put it on before you fall asleep, you will have a physical experience on this new moon that has appeared. This Pendant is 12 Raks from Recette!
• A Dream Self is a projection of reality! Although in Homestuck they are very real bodies, here they are just visual representations of the real things. The body can't leave the moon, and you can't technically die. So even if you attempt to kill a bunch of dreamers, all you'll do is wake them up in the real world. If you die on Prospit: you will wake up back in Rakuen. However, when you fall asleep again, you'll be right back on Prospit.
• Your Dream Self gets FANCY GOLDEN PAJAMAS.
• The NPCs on Prospit are exactly like the Rakuen NPCs: although some of them may be familiar to the Homestuck Prospit dreamers (ie: the White Queen, PM, etc.) they are not the characters from home and have absolutely no recollection of any experiences they are supposed to have had back there. They only remember the Prospit that is here, and the events that happen in Rakuen.
• The visions from the clouds no longer tell the future. This is probably the most important! They still tell stuff, however....they now show all possible pasts, presents, and futures from every universe in existence. So you can't actually see what's going to happen next in Rakuen. But hey, you may be able to see yourself being born as an alien or exploring the Land of Ooo! Isn't that nifty!
So, go! Frolic in a carefree way! Prospit is the perfect place for people who might have nightmares to escape from those. There are no nightmares on Prospit. Only fun dreams and fun time. :')

Prospit is visible from Rakuen, just like the other moon. It's easy to tell them apart but they both act like regular moons, you see them in phases and they effects tides etc

1.When not in use a dream!self disappears.
2. Therefore no, you can't influence them to fall asleep, but you can wake them up by forcibly dispelling their dream!self. It's important to note that dream!selves cannot be killed, - they are basically a vessel for a character's mind. They can only be dispelled. If killed, the feeling will be hazy and you probably won't even remember the death.
