    What would happen then if you let someone sleep on the Osa sleeping on another Osa? Would the effects be magnified? Would they have a shared dream caused by the bottom-most Osa? Would the top-most Osa absorb the dreams from those below it and allow the person to sleep normally?

    This is actually some sort of japanese legend right? a fish that swims up a waterfall becomes a dragon or something?

    Chinese legend. As most older 'japanese' things.

    "According to Chinese legend, there was a place called Dragon's Gate at the top of a large waterfall on Yellow River. Carp would swim up the river, against the current to reach the base of the waterfall. Although many would try, only a few were brave and able enough to attempt the final leap up the waterfall. It was said that if a carp was able to complete the journey through Dragon's Gate at the top of the falls, then it would be transformed into a powerful dragon. In Chinese culture, the dragon is a symbol of great power. The story symbolizes that anybody who is able to persevere through great trials can accomplish their highest goals to become great."
