I've been working on leveling up my stormy eyed quality for a while now, but for the past month or so I have not been drawing any cards that can raise that level, and of the cards that level up "What the thunder said" only one of them ever appears. I have not reported this to failbetter before because I was uncertain if it was a glitch or if the cards had been changed/updated and/or they were locked when I reached a certain dream level.
(My "stormy eyed" is currently level 11, and "What the thunder said" is 21)
Would anyone mind sharing there experiences with these dreams as of late? I would like to confirm or disprove my suspicions about them.

Be careful - just opening the storylet automatically sends you to the Mind. While there you can draw various cards and play various actions; iirc all have options with Stormy-Eyed challenges that on failure lower Stormy-Eyed but pay out with things like Aeolian Screams and Storm-Threnodies.

I did get a Stormy eyed option on a what the thunder said dream card last week. My WtTS is 19 and Stormy eyed 18.
I'm not sure but I think the higher what the thunder said gets the fewer cards you get. I'm not sure if there is actually a hard cap for them except the red bordered card that only increases WtTS. But if you have a ship you can go to Mutton Island to get enough Stormy eyed to enter the Mind of a Long Dead God (edit to add) - which will .clear your stormy eyed and let you draw the card that starts the whole cycle of What the Thunder said again.

Going to The Royal Beth does reduce all dream qualities but that would be really slow. If you can, I would suggest you just visit Mutton Island and increase your Stormy eyed to 19 so you can visit the mind of the long dead god and wait for the reset card.

Having done this a few weeks ago, don't forget to pick up some Docks Favours at the end of each round if you're looking for those over more material rewards.

Mutton Island is a carousel. On the first part there is an option about the Mutton Island wind - use the stormy eyed option. Then do whatever you want until you cycle back to the beginning and stay there until your stormy-eyed is at 19. When you get back to London there will be a pinned storylet that lets you enter the mind of the god. After that wait for the Third that walks beside you card - that takes all your What the Thunder Said and sets your stormy eyed to 7.

It will take a lot of actions to do, but yes.
Remember that you'll lose various progress Qualities when you go to Zee. So make sure you've finished with these before Zailing, as they'll get reset to zero: Fascinating, Disappearing, Inspired, Seeking, Investigating, Running Battle, The Hunt is On!, Intimidating, Term Passing, Casing, and Dramatic Tension.
As Reveurciel has said, Mutton Island has the 'carousel' mechanic. It's much like being a Guest Lecturer at the University, in that regard.
[spoiler]This time around, the looping quality is Time Passing in the Southern Archipelago. While it's 0-6, we can do The Mutton Island Wind->I bid the wind speak, which is what we're here for so that we can get our WtTS to 19.
At Time Passing 7-8 there's different actions, and when it reaches 9 there's a final choice which sets Time Passing back to 0 so you can do it all again. The ending action Parelle mentions (which I'm doing so that I have Favours: Docks to convert into Expedition Supplies when I'm in London again) is Crash!->Rescue the Crew.[/spoiler]
Edit: One day I'll remember not to type "Favours ocks". Today was not that day.

Very unintuitive how this happens. I was holding off on the Mutton Island trip on the assumption that this would be fixed at some point, but if it has been this way for a while, I guess I might as well.

For abbreviated entries, you can always copy some uninterrupted line and google it in quotes - it'll bring up that specific event result and journals with it echoed.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. It looks like if you let your WtTS get too far ahead of your stormy-eyed you get stuck. I'll definitely have to give mutton island a visit.

The same thing happened to me a while back, and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. In fact, I think I've only been to Mutton Island during the Fruits of the Zee festival.

 Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.
Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).

I just got a What the Thunder Said card with stormy eyed options and it said it capped at WtTS 19. So you won't get that one once you get to WtTS 20.

The reset for Storny Eyed happens when you leave - if you've WDTTS over 18 you'll gain Stormy Eyed 7 and lose all of WDTTS through a dream card (honestly, I can't remember if it was an autofire or a non-discardable or a regular card )

Who is the third that walks beside you will turn up again. It might take a while but at least once I got it on the same day as I left the Mind. I always wait until I have at least What the Thunder Said 18 until I go into the mind and have been a few times over the years I have been in the Neath.
