Thank you. About 2): Your second example is what I feared when I asked. On the other hand, if it should develop naturally anyway, which is far from sure yet, I might be better off developing it in a controlled way, including protections and barriers. I wouldn't fancy having uninvited visitors regularly interrupting my sleep, and certainly not certain kinds of visitors. It is also the reason I was asking for methods which work in a waking state.
I will need to think this through a lot more and also use divination before I decide anything, but this helps, thanks.
