Going forward + Future plotting

Sorry for disappearing, guys. Work threw me a curve-ball and I was not prepared at all. The AC for this month has officially ended, but since I've been absent during the course of it, if you missed AC but still want to play, just let me know.
I've noticed that we've been slow lately. I'd love more suggestions on how to get things going, and what you guys have liked, things that have worked, and things that haven't.
On that note, for the next few Night posts, I'd like to try out something a little new: living nightmares. You can each pick one nightmare that your character has, and each night going forward, everyone else will experience that.
(And thank you to Kimmie for the plot idea.)

Say, for example, that it's Morgana's night. Her greatest nightmare is being discovered as a sorceress in Camelot. The setting, of course, wouldn't be Camelot, but the people will react in the same way. There will be a general agreement amongst the NPCs that magic is bad, and anyone who practices it should be put to death.There will be one thread to list your character's nightmare if you wish to participate in the plot. Otherwise, feel free to use this post to plot away with others!
Moreover, all characters during Morgana's nightmare will suddenly have her magic. However, they won't know how to control it. Even those who may already be skilled in their own forms of magic in their own worlds will be baffled by their new abilities. Running around in a world that hates magic with magic that you can't control? Now that's scary.
Finally, because this is Morgana's personal nightmare, she will somehow be emotionally linked to everyone else around her. If they are within a few feet of her, even if they're not directly interacting with her (so your character could be a street down with no knowledge that she's even there), whatever she feels will be magnified 2x in them. If she's anxious, your character will suddenly feel extra anxious. If she's afraid, your character may suddenly (and very much literally) become paralyzed with fear.
