!!The Dreamer Trilogy contains examples of:
*AnomalousArt: [[spoiler: Sweetmetals.]]
**The Dark Lady, a painting that causes one to dream of the ocean.
*AscendedExtra: Declan and Matthew are given far more focus here.
*CloneAngst: Hennessy and her copies struggle tremendously as they have to appear to be the same person, and do not have the freedom to live separate lives. Their life forces are directly tied to Hennessy.
*ClonesArePeopleToo: Much of Jordan's arc is centered around her getting to live her own life separate from Hennessy's.
*DuelAgeModes: Liliana changes ages as a response to her visions.
*MasterForger: Jordan Hennessy is considered to be the best forger on the east coast. All of the girls are copyists, but Hennessy and Jordan specifically have the skills to create original works that can pass for lost pieces from famous artists.
*PentUpPowerPeril: If a dreamer spends too long without manifesting a dream, they experience nightwash, this black ooze that drains from their nose, eyes, ears, and mouth, that eventually suffocates them. Ronan is by far the most impacted, as he experiences nightwash when he is away from the ley line, and it takes less time without dreaming for him to show symptoms. Each time is more severe than the ones preceding it.
*TheSyndicate: Boudicca.
*TheWorseningCurseMark: Each time Hennessy dreams a copy of herself, she gains a new floral tattoo around her neck. She will die once her neck is fully encircled.

* BeeAfraid: Gansey was stung to death by a swarm of hornets as a child.
** Subverted a few times, most notably in the raven cave scene in ''Blue Lily, Lily Blue''--Gansey's PTSD causes him to fear that rustling noises or crawling sensations on his skin are insect swarms, but they always turn out to be something else.
