Beautiful Dreamer (New Earth)

Beautiful Dreamer is a psychically sensitive woman born on the planet New Genesis and a member of the Forever People.

History

Origins

In a retconned version of their origins, Beautiful Dreamer was one of five children from Earth chosen by Highfather to be raised in New Genesis as New Gods. The five children grew up as close friends and eventually began to refer to themselves as the Forever People.^[1]

In an altered continuity, Beautiful Dreamer was selected as one of the five Genesisian kids to go through a special training to focus their minds and synchronize them with their shared Mother Box, turning them into the Infinity Man.^[2]

Forever People on Earth

When Darkseid, ruler of Apokolips, began to use the Earth as a focal point in his war against New Genesis, he kidnapped Beautiful Dreamer, hoping to find the Anti-Life Equation inside her mind. He was finally forced to release her when confronted by Superman and the cosmic being summoned by the Forever People, Infinity Man.^[3]

Beautiful Dreamer and her friends decided to remain on Earth for a time, to learn more about the planet. Eventually, they found themselves pursued by Devilance, and were forced to use their unique ability to trade places with the superpowerful Infinity Man to save themselves. In the course of their battle, though, Devilance and Infinity Man were seemingly destroyed, leaving the Forever People trapped in the planet called Adon.^[4]

Battle Against The Dark

An experiment executed by Vykin and his Mother Box led the primitive people of Adon to a developed society similar to Earth's. They spend years along these people, and Beutiful Dreamer married Big Bear. She worked alongside teaching at the School-House, and her husband worked as the library curator. Beautiful Dreamer was also pregnant. All those years they spend together in Adon were erased by an encounter with The Dark, making them young again, but still remembering their lives as grown-ups in Forevertown. As a result, Dreamer lost her unborn child.^[5][6]

This would be later corrected when Maya, the spirit of the Mother Box, helped the Forever People defeat The Dark, and in a last attempt to destroy the enemy, Maya sacrificed herself, transferring her spirit into Beautiful Dreamers womb, resulting in her being pregnant again.^[1] The child eventually was born, and they named her Maya, in honor of the Mother Box.^[7]

Post-Zero Hour

The effects of the Zero Hour crisis caused some ripples in the time stream that changed the Forever People's history. In this new continuity, the Forever People never left Adon and Maya never existed. They were stranded on Adon until Highfather took the group and left them on Earth without any memories.^[8] She developed a close relationship with Takion, the Earthling who became an avatar of the Source.^[9]
