Halo

A Halo is the physical form of a Dream Walker's soul.

Dream Walkers have the ability to bear their souls outside their bodies when dreaming, using the Halo as a defense mechanism. The Halo can move at Mach speeds to deflect bullets and oncoming attacks, but at the cost of taking some damage with each hit. Over time, the Halo can begin to crack and become damaged, moving slower and cannot take many more hits. Eventually, the Halo will break, in turn, killing the Dream Walker.

Poets cannot use Halo's as their power is much different. In the case of Jonas, he relied on the use of Jarabec's Halo when under attack. However, the Halo failed to deflect all attacks and Jonas was shot in the shoulder by a Night Stalker. Over time, Jarabec's Halo broke under the amount of bullets and he took the remaining attacks to save Jonas from REM, dying in the process.

The stronger the Dream Walker, the more a Halo will withstand but it takes time and patience to gain enough power to use a Halo correctly.
