Strieber-5 is a Q7 TL3 world where a global Ice Age has been happening since around 1300. Civilization has collapsed and with every lengthening winter more people starve. These two worlds should be utterly unrelated, but when they people of Hardrade-6 sleep they dream of a specific other person on Strieber-5, and vice versa. Since the population is larger on Hardrade-6, multiple people dream about the same person from Strieber-5.
This could be very interesting for a talented writer to work with. Can dreamers learn any useful skills if, for example, their dream target is a medical student? Are there any temperate zones near the Equator on the Ice Age world where cities could be rebuilt?

Normally dreams don't let you read things, even notes to your dream buddy written on the wall. Are these dreams different?
