Luna's life sucks a lot. With her recent return from the moon, adjusting to normal life isn't so easy. While her sister gets the swanky job of being loved and ruling the day, Luna gets her own mirror realm of Equestria: The Dreamlands. Well, actually, Luna got the short end of the stick with her being the last extradimensional dreamer that could carve out the nearest slice of dreamscape with her Moon imprisonment. And Nightmare Moon was an awful ruler of her demesne. So now there's a little something going down in the Dreamlands that might muck up her nightly walks. The Dreamlands are a cold and unwelcome place for most ponies with nightgaunts and the occasional traveler from the Plains of Leng. Welcome to dreamland.

Applejack is just a pony that has a problem of another kind. She fell in love with Luna at first sight and besides the occasional Nightmare Night party- she knows that seeing a Princess of Equestria would make some difficulties with her life. There is just one thing that neither mare could account for: said Earth Pony is a lucid dreamer, which for Equestrians is a very rare trait that only shows up in familial lines of the Founders. Lucid dreamers can shape the reality of the Dreamlands to their will and are known as the Shields of their respective rulers. Now she and Luna have to deal with incursions of non pony creatures to protect Equestria.

Crossover with the Lovecraftian Dream Cycle and sporadically updates.
