    Thats really cool but how does this make people be able to bend reality, is it a pure force of ego and will that is able to bend the dream once you fully grasp your place in it?

      Yeah basically. Once you realize, once you know, that you are in a dream, in real life, you wake up (zero sum), but if you somehow maintain your dream identity with this knowledge you become a lucid dreamer in a sense.

        So all of Elder Scrolls is a dream? Does that mean Tiber Septum and the Dwemer 'woke up'?

        Where do people go when they achieve zero-sum? Do they just become a part of the godhead or do they exist as their own gods outside of the godhead?

          tiber septum basically became a god, and the dwemer accidentally became the skin of the giant robot that tiber septum used to become god (because dwarf elon musk played the wrong melody on a sick ass god bone instrument)

          it's implied they cease to exist as a person when they zero-cum, since it's basically "wait, im just a freakin construct in a dream, i don't exis--"

          CHIM is different bc its like "not real? i think therefore i am my dudes. if this is a dream that means i can shoot poo poo lasers out of my third eye heheheheh"

          its also implied that elder scrolls exists in an endless chain of dreamers creating universes and those universes creating dreamers (godheads) that make their own universe in their dream and so on

          in semi-lore some dude marries vivec and has like dream sex with her and they birth the next godhead
