Finished the Tutorial and the Awakening -- Now what!?

So here we are in the Dreamworld, with the city-scape on the table, a stack of some slumber cards (II-37 C, D etc.) and a couple of actual Gate tiles that require a couple of keys to enter.

Here's my confusion:

- All my slumber tiles only say things like "if any character has 3 (or 4) progression cards place, do 'X' ... except for one, which is an Entity.

I dont know what to do next. I dont have a mini-mission (slumber) to actually play, nor have the keys to get to a main mission (Gate). In addition, the Dreamword (scape?) Doesn't contain any place within it (yet) that lets me just acquire a key or whatever.

I'm confused -- help me out! What should I be doing!?

Hey Brandon.

I unfortunately don't have the card in front of me but, if you're using the 2.0 Dream World tiles, your 2.0 Dream World location Wisdom card should advise that, at a dream gate location, you can resolve a slumber to acquire a key. Once you will have gone around the Dream World and done so twice, you can go to the appropriate dream gate location (as identified on the dream tile of the dream you are trying to enter) and spend your keys to enter the dream itself.

Hope this helps clarify.

Yes... I think this is what is going to solve my issues (well, the combination of all assistance in this thread), which is very helpful to leave up here for the next folk like me to fumble around in this game and not catch everything from the multiple places they are to be found and synthesize it correctly.

(I also have to find that wisdom card lol)

So I start at the 'Awakening' spot, and I put out the two 'Starter' slumber 'map' tiles that are always going to be there amidst the stack of Slumber map tiles I've been accumulating. I then progress through the Dream[city] map until I get to another green cyclone-y thing which allows me to enter a gate for the main quest line (if I have the right number of keys), or resolve one of the red side-quest 'Slumber' cards (that have also been accumulating) for a key (+ loot if I manage to snag some). The slumber cards themselves probably won't say the part about the key, but it's on the Wisdom card I'm supposed to have/remember. On the way to the green cyclone-y spots I'm going to pass "!" locations where I draw Fate Cards that more-than-likely will add new Slumber map tiles to the map (if I have them left to add), as well as add 'quirks' cards to the tiles (that add a little randomization).

Anyway, the first round(s) after the first Awakening can be resolved fairly simply, because there are two cards there that feature conditions that more-than-likely won't be met yet, so I can resolve them without incident and gain a key. There is one where I have to face an entity, which is fine/fun, but ultimately I'm going to want to pursue the actual dream gate (white-ish) main questline tiles in order to follow the plot of the game overall. As I do that, new main (dreams) and side (slumber) quests will get added to the mix, as well as new entities and opportunities to further my personal journey into understanding of my character's origins/essence.
