Misha are small, demure, transparent beings from the Vego star systems in Sculptor. The race is frail and delicate with completely transparent bodies. Misha have incredible intuitive powers. They are methodical and rational beings who enjoy life and the quasi-real paradox of sleep. They are called Dream Merchants because of the Misha's pronounced ability to see into the future. Dream Merchants are abler to predict events. They are able to commune with time. Scientist have produced data which corroborates the theory that the past, present, and future exist at the same time. Misha confirm this belief and use their special powers to manipulate the future. Misha adamantly insist that the concept of a single time continuum is a two dimensional perspective. They claim that they actually interact with time to affect its ebbs and tides.

Misha always look like they aren't hearing anything you are saying, wandering through life with a perpetual empty stare in their milky white eyes, ad a silly smirk on their faces. They constantly yawn and complain about how tired they are, even when they're not. They walk hunched over, and give the appearance that they are about to collapse from fatigue.

Young Misha are taught the precepts of entering the wonderful and dangerous world of the Dream State. Here, the Misha learns to meditate deeply, surrendering the body for the power of the Mind. He learns to see himself as a wave being swept along the tide of time. With long hours of practice, the youngster enters the first level of hyperconsciousness, or what is known as the Dream World. The Dream Merchant is able to scan the world around him from a detached perspective.

Once the Misha has gained competence in the Dream World, he enters the stage of the Dream Scape. When in the Dream Scape, the Misha learns to control his dreams. He can only determine whether some action will produce a positive or negative consequence.

Dream Alley is the next highest state of awareness, where the Dream Merchant can affect upcoming events. He can cause the outcome of some event to change in his favor.

The final state of Dream awareness is that of The Land of Dreams. Here, the Dream Merchant is able to affect a change on any immediate event that has just caused him harm.Before the effects of any attack are applied against the Misha, he has a chance to affect a change so that he escapes the fate which would befall him.
