  We at the Realm of Magic have a system that could be exactly used for
this purpose. Our 'Dreams' are texts which are displayed line-by-line
to sleeping people. These dreams could thus also be used to 'remember'
past events, in which the player might have taken part. So this could
also serve as an introduction to the gaming universe.
