Powers	-Dwell within the mind or consciousness "They live inside my head." -Monitor and record speech, thoughts and dreams "They're listening to me" "Bet they're spying on me"

Attractiveness	Do not seem to have a physical appearance, but their presence is unwanted
Source	N/A, although "police"-- who are also "judge and jury all in one"-- presumes a system of justice and laws, so somewhere there is an entire dream society, or at least government, that this is the police branch of, which grants them their authority, and perhaps their powers. Or maybe all beings from that dimension have such powers.

PERSONALITY
Morality	Extremely high, to the point of being unreasonable "They're coming to arrest [him]" for his mere dreams "I can't tell lies" even when it might be polite or otherwise necessary He had learned that "rumor ain't nice," too.
Intro/extrovert	Extrovert in terms of pursuing  their target subjects Introvert in terms of not entering the "real," physical world
Intelligence	High, and also act with a group intelligence
Emotions	Seem detached, more interested in enforcing moral codes than caring
Sanity	Sane, within their society and social order To us, they would seem obsessive and thereby cruel
Enemies	more like prey, those they deem as having immoral dreams
Narrative Function	Narrators. They seem content to monitor and record, so that they can function as  storytellers. They know they affect their subjects negatively, but don't seem to care, and have a "just doin' my job" attitude.
Other Notes	Would be interesting to tell the story from both viewpoints-- the paranoid dreamer who is arrested and taken to their realm for trial and punishment... and the Dream Police themselves, going about their work, tracking leads, doing paperwork, policing thought-crimes. They feel they are prosecuting, but he feels they are "persecuting."
