Aaron Greenberg

Greenberg's dream worlds are the least chaotic of the dream princes' realms. He desires to bring order and meaning to the dream worlds, to make them more like our waking reality. In order to accomplish this, he moves physical people into his world. Thousands have been captured and willy-nilly transported to Greenberg's worlds.

His dream realms are meticulously well-ordered places, full of nightmarish bureaucracy, pointless rules, and armies of guards and policemen who watch over the dreamers. Corridors and offices with clerks and administrators fill whole worlds. Other worlds are copies of middle-class, suburban residential areas with thousands of split-levels stretching endlessly toward the horizon. Some world are endless prisons with millions of identical cells. Greenberg likes to repeat patterns indefinitely. He has even reproduced people and populated dream worlds with thousands of copies of the same person.

Greenberg's score in the Art of Dreaming is 180, and his score in the Lore of Dreams is 90, with all spells to 40.

For one of the 20th century dream princes (the 'order and repetition' one), it sounds like Franz Kafka, George Orwell and G.K. Chesterton ("The Man Who Was Thursday") might be interesting.
