The Dreamer, now known as Folly and also known as the Dream Parasite, is the secondary antagonist of the 2020 Roblox game Regretevator. She also appears as the main protagonist of the 2024 story The Cleave as her past self.
She is a parasite that feasts on the dreams of various people in order to fully enter the real world. Although having a connection with almost all the NPCs in the game, Pest seems to be the one who is the most familiar with her. In reality, she is actually the Dreamer, created by the Great One and eventually becoming linked to it after its jealousy increased. She is the archenemy of Pest.
Appearance[]
Folly appears as a tall, shadowy figure with long, spiky hair, wearing a white beret and a white turtleneck sweater with light grey cuffs. In addition, she wears black pants with realistic red eyes printed onto them, as well as black boots. Most of her face is obscured with a broken white mask with a single diamond-shaped black eye and one long ear reaching upwards. The spikes on the right side of her face makes it look like fur, resembling half of a wolf's head. On the left side of her face, which reveals what she really looks like, she has a red eye, with yellow rings as a pupil and eyelashes. Her hands also fade into red at the fingertips.
Back when she was the Dreamer, it's revealed that her beret, mask, and cloth are a part of her three wills that are bound to her (a catalyst of thought, savior of vision, and harbinger of feeling respectively). She was coloured entirely white, with her mask having two small swirls on its cheeks and black eyes that could change based on her expression, three yellow stars hanging from her puffy white hair by string, and her trousers had star patterns on them.
Personality[]
| “ | Split: Why don't you try spreading smiles! Instead of.. you know.. Nightmarish sadness.. Folly: It's interesting to see the deepest fears bellowing inside a mind. And I get to consume those fears. A delicious stream of endless hunger. |

Folly is a cryptic, mysterious being who feeds on the fear, anxiety and anger of others. While calm, she occasionally violently threatens the other NPCs and players in various ways, mainly whenever she gets particularly annoyed at something like Wallter bringing up her attire, which hints to an unstable side of her. She's shown to like poetry, as she reads it and, according to Wallter, writes it herself. She is also shown to be distrusting towards others, as when the players use the Petal Cone on her, she states that kindness has taught her to never trust another ever again. At times, she can be needlessly cruel yet brutally honest, as she tells Pilby not to lie to themself when they believe that their mother might still be alive, and calls out Mannequin_Mark for ultimately being just as trapped as the rest of the mannequins in the hivemind that he isn't a part of for some unknown reason, regardless of how different he is from them.
Despite her cold demeanor and general cruelness, Folly has somewhat of a slight fondness for Wallter, even if she does insult him like she does with any of the other players and NPCs. She shows a bit of concern for him and holds off from killing him when he brings up that he wouldn't be able to share his classical melodies with her, all the while acknowledging that he has a valid point. According to Wallter, she read poems to him.
Back when she was the Dreamer, Folly was a kindhearted and curious individual, who would soon grow bitter following the betrayal of the Great One after it caused her to become the malicious parasite she is now.
History[]
It's confirmed by Prototype's interaction with her that Folly is a kind of primordial beast without any name or species who has been feeding on negative emotions for as long as she can remember.
Originally created by the Great One for it to teach and grow, the Dreamer soon became confident in her own abilities as its teachings excelled, to the point that it would grow envious of her. Promising her a "final teaching" in the form of true freedom, once she accepted the deal, the Great One paralyzed her with its corrupted roots, then proceeded to form an avatar from the blood of her bleeding eye to scratch the Dreamer, causing her to transform into Folly. From there, that's the day when she felt true hate, and she and the Great One became linked together.
At some point in time, Folly would join a cult, where MR, the cult's leader, promised to offer her what she seeks, without her knowing that the cult is lying to her and giving her false promises. She has been working with MR and her fellow co-worker NULL ever since.
Folly is often referred to in the dreams that the NPCs have. Oftentimes, they will claim to see a shadowy figure with red eyes and a white beret, and at other times, they will mention a dark or scary dream they had. So far, the only NPCs that had claimed to have seen her prior to her reveal are Bive, DrRETRO, Gnarpy, Infected, Lampert, Mach, Mannequin_Mark, PartyNoob, Pest, Pilby, Split, Spud!, Wallter, and potentially Melanie.
In Mach's case, seeing Folly was the first time she ever actually dreamed, whereas in Wallter's case, it's mentioned that she likes writing poetry.
As of recent, however, Folly hasn't been showing up in anyone's dreams, and the nightmares that the other NPCs had have stopped. What this means is unknown, but according to Pest, it isn't good news.
In her reveal trailer, Folly's eyes start suddenly appearing everywhere, closing in on Melanie. As she begins panicking, she's pulled away by Folly and decapitated, killing her off. Afterwards, Folly shushes Melanie and walks away, before it cuts back to her decapitated head. Some time later, Melanie would soon get revived by Mozelle after she repaired her.
In the game proper, Folly appears as a boss fight on the Eternal Limbo floor, where she spawns in on a pillar away from the players, and then teleports into one of the mirrors before they start shuffling about. If Folly is already in the elevator prior to the floor being selected, she will leave it to fight the players.
From there, the players have to find out what mirror Folly is in and stand on it, damaging her. If they don't, they'll lose 30 of their health. Folly also has four known attacks: Pillars that damage the players upon touching them, laser beams that move randomly around the floor, a water flood that damages players but can be avoided if they stand on the pillars that spawn during said flood, and a wave of her own shadows chasing the players and trying to hit them.
Should the player defeat Folly, she will join them in the elevator.

Trivia[]
- Folly is 9'5.
- She is able to beat both Wallter and Mannequin_Mark in an arm wrestle.
- Despite almost all of the elevator NPCs having seen her in their dreams, the ones that haven't mentioned her are Unpleasant, Jermbo, Prototype, Scag, and Reddy. This is mainly because the former two don't speak, and the latter three are robots, and thus incapable of dreaming.
- The reveal trailer involving Melanie, where Folly makes her first physical appearance, was originally just meant to tease Folly, as Melanie started off as a hoax and wasn’t intended to be in the game. Eventually, however, Folly would become a proper NPC.
- Previously, Folly had a chance to appear in an elevator event, where the lights would dim and she would appear from a dark cloud.
- Folly is inspired by the 2019 Roblox game DREAM WORLD, made by NOR0i.
