I've raised my Connoisseur to 10 in the hopes of discovering more about dreams. Not about nightmares - that's easy, but they're only in my head, or a warped reflection of something in my head. You can learn things sometimes, but I'm not looking to collect every secret and clue there is in the world, that's not the point... Honey is different, because it's an actual journey INTO dreams. And that's what I loved about it, and wanted to know everything about it, and travel in it. But all I've gotten was high honey tolerance, so now dreaming is just expensive. And all there is to see is the same four dreams.
No spoilers, please, but is that all there is to honey and dream-travel in this game?

I can send you a super duper special honey dream with minimal in game effect, if you want. No, I am not flirting with you.

It certainly does, and you are right - there are, of course, six basic dreams for 2 actions each - but there seems to be a difference between simple dreaming and honey dreaming. Which is, obviously, that simple dreams - on Opportunity cards or not, with choices to make or without - are inside of you, whereas with honey you are inside of THEM. It's real travel to... somewhere, and your Fallen London friends won't find you when they come with umbrellas and top hats to knock on the door. Sure, I know a simple way to "travel" to nightmare-land, just look inside a mirror, except all that journey will be on the bony walls of my cranium while burly men in white hold me by the arms. That is the difference I was talking about... I have to find that other place, the unreal-real.
In case there are zailors around here - tell me, does any of this zound like it might have zome connection to Parabola?

Oneironaut is one of the descriptors for the next tier of Professions. Probably the next stage after Glassman ... at least I hope so

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

What do mirrors have to do with it? All one gets in mirrors is oneself. You might think Fallen London's mirrors are different, and they would be if they led inside the writers the way Carroll's did inside of him. But...
I think you're starting to get the idea based upon your very excellent subsequent post "What connects these places into a world?" Be patient
