'''Void Dreamers''' are members of an [[Eldar Corsair]] band who typically serve as helmsmen and [[Navigatornavigator]]s of Corsair ships.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
===Overview===

Away from the protective structures of the [[Craftworld]]s, many Eldar develop wild and unpredictable psychic abilities. These creatures are both a bane and a boon for the Corsair fleets, as for each emergent [[psyker]] who learns to control and focus their talent, there are many more who cannot. Few amongst those so gifted can achieve the clarity of mind and purpose needed to guide the Corsair fleets through the endless wastes of the [[Warp]] or the twisted passageways of the [[Webway]], and such prodigies are highly valued by the Corsair Princes. Such is the fractious nature of Corsair society though that many bloody, internecine wars have been fought between fleets over the services of a particularly gifted void dreamer.{{Fn|4}}
These [[Eldar]] are actually [[Psykerpsyker]]s who are closely related to the [[Warlock]]s and follow the [[Farseer]]s by taking the [[Path of the Witch|Witch Path]]. They particularly focus on the arts of divination and prophecy though do not use this to discern the distant far future but rather events that would effect them in the near-future.{{Fn|1}} This enables them to navigate the [[Daemon]]-seas of the [[Warp]] whilst shielding it from its myriad dangers. Thus, the Void Dreamers use their divination and prophetic powers to guide vessels whilst protecting their crews from the Daemons of the Warp.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} Within a Warp-tainted [[Space Hulk|space hulk]] a Void Dreamer's insight and protection is invaluable to squads of Corsairs.{{Fn|2}}
