{Finished} Yumejiku Clan

The techniques of this clan allows a specific number of genjutsu involved in controlling the mind while in the state of sleep. They have both illusion and ninjutsu that can force an opponent into a sleeping state and then manipulate their dreams via illusion; literally able to do anything to them as they are asleep. In most cases, the clan member must also be asleep in order to manipulate a sleeping target's dreams. This is used for multiple levels of interrogation, torture, as well as combat.

One can also place themselves under their own technique to consciously control their own dreams. This is known as "Lucid Dreaming" that plays as a simulator of real time and space. Because real time dreams happen very quickly, time can seem to move very slowly while dreaming, allowing for advanced time for simulation training to achieve mastery over a situation; though real life experience is just as important as mental training. All actions in a lucid dream can be adapted to real life, including muscle memory thus techniques learned in the safety of ones dreams are instantly known to the user as they wake. In this state they can often times wake themselves up at will as well.

Another vital ability of the clan is the ability to communicate with bijuu via a jinchuuriki. If a jinchuuriki is put asleep they can enter the subconscious and confront the bijuu themselves. While they can do no harm to the seal, they will be able to converse with the bijuu within the dream state.

An old rival of the Yamanaka clan, this clan was the first to be able to manufacture techniques involving the subconscious. While they both looked into the projection of the mind, they took very different forms in which to accomplish this. This clan's ability looked into a direct link into others subconscious, which is done via the dreams and thus by passes the ego of the mind. Like many clan rivalry, they fought on many fronts until eventually one was conquered under the Senju clan's rule. In this sense, and without rival, they could continue to go about their business to make a name for themselves; becoming #1 where they were once #2. However shortly after when Kumogakure was formed, the idea of once again clashing with their old rival was too good to pass up, and like many others that signed away an alliance, they too moved to Lightning country.

Today, they contribute to the espionage and spy programs. Their abilities are also often used to help train people via simulation. Even briefings of situations become easy and quick when one can manipulate the dreams of those who need the information in order to not only example but accurately map out the situation as well. Many were used for torture and methods of interrogation in which those with weak minds could be manipulated and used to gather information in only a matter of seconds. The efficiency of this clan travels much further then JUST combat and as such they can support the village in almost any aspect with their powerful hypnotic illusions.

Though the clan is located in Kumogakure no Sato, they decided to branch out in other nations, to expand their population. This is why their are some members located in Suna, Konoha, and Kiri. And just because they are one whole clan, the branches secretly have a huge rivalry.
