I think the Dream happens the same night a pony learns of the Occult(or when they go to sleep) so she probably already had it.
I'm pretty sure you need to do one of the right rituals. Cut a lock of your mane before sleep. Sleep in a room freshly painted white. Inflict a small wound on your hooves. Swallow ash from a beloved object you've burnt.I think the Dream happens the same night a pony learns of the Occult(or when they go to sleep) so she probably already had it.
I based it on how Rarity had the Dream right after Velvet gave her the first taste of Grail so you might be right.I'm pretty sure you need to do one of the right rituals.

What is really worrying me is her not having a minor lore yet(or us not knowing it), it could be bad for her mental health if she just has Winter since we know what that means.
But forget all of that, if Fluttershy really wants to go deeper in the lores she will ask us for help first and after we say no she may ask why and that is what I think will make or break everything, because if we can/choose to tell her about our deal with Comet it might end up with Fluttershy confronting him about it... and that is a good thing.
No, think about it, Comet confessed to Stormchaser he is struggling with communicating with Fluttershy and knowing her she thinks the silence is normal and not Comet freaking the fuck out having no idea how to treat her well. Making decisions for your girlfriend/blocking her access to certain information is something I think all of us agree is not supposed to happen in a healthy relationship and it could be how those issues are brought to their attention.
I don't think things will end up bad because it is Fluttershy we are talking about here, she is literally Kindness ponified.

If Fluttershy asks, it will be dealt with then. Likely by informing her "I agreed with Comet I would not." And discussion and so on can move from there if things are truly needed.To be fair, all the lores are dangerous in their own ways and Winter was actually pretty chill(heh) from what I remember in Velvet's progress. Winter 3 was one of the Realizations that didn't even have her panicking.

The only character who would treat your library as a "library" is (was?) Twilight Sparkle. As it stands, use of your "Library" involves you actively lending your manuscripts to your followers, whenever situation and convenience allows it.@OurLadyOfWires
Is allowing access to our Library a form of guidance (= banned under the agreement), or is it allowed (even if he probably won't be happy about it until he has some more character growth)
Well at least it's cheaper than an expedition!…Oh that's just fucking mean. We really do need to do DoA's Sacrament.
-Gained one Artifacts (Lantern, level 4, unstudied) of unknown properties.
-Gained one book (Moth, level 5. Requires deciphering. Progress 0/100. From an Era that is Ancient Beyond History, "-50" to deciphering rolls.)
-Gained one book (Knock, level 5. Requires deciphering. Progress 0/100. From One Era Ago, "-30" to deciphering rolls.)
-Gained one Reagent (MOTH, Level 4)
-Discovered the expedition "Beneath the Royal Castle, pt. 3"
-Gained one book (Moth, level 5. Requires deciphering. Progress 0/100. From an Era that is Ancient Beyond History, "-50" to deciphering rolls.)
With that in mind, tell me something Velvet. Has she ever asked you to go somewhere, in her stead? As she ever asked you for a favor, or maybe asked you to do an errand for her? Has she ever offered you a deal?
Well, no need to spend a shitload of money on the Frangiclave expedition specifically, anyway. I'm sure we'll be spending plenty of bits on other expeditions. Like Beneath the Royal Castle Part 3No need to burn a shitload of money on expeditions, because we both have enough books to keep Baldomare around for a while,
This is just… really, really, sad. Especially if it's at the level where even Silky can notice it (admittedly, she is a perceptive filly). I really like Baldomare as a character, and maybe that's because there's so much pathos to her.However, she can't help but feel like… she can't help but feel like auntie Baldomare is living through life with her eyes closed. Like everything she does, she is doing with her eyes closed, and that she only manages to do it because she knows everything. So, she can afford to live like that without bumping into anything.
I gasped!Reflection of the Tapestry, CD variable]
[Roll: 31 + 50 (Baldomare) – 50 (Incompetent CelebrantCutest Assistant) + 60 (Lantern Level 6) – 150 (??????) = -59]

Could've been stuck here for a while! Nice time to get a good roll.[Day 7 – But can you say "please?", cd 80]
[Roll: 80 + 10 (Antisocial) = 90]
[Success]
Yeah… that's a hell of a summon. Not good for us. But 7 bodies for something almost Name-tier??? Definitely within Copper's capacity. Eep.But perhaps, the worst part is the knowledge that any other adept, who reaches as far as the edge of the Crossroads, might learn about this as well.
Wow Expeditions have such good loot LOL it's wild how much we've ignored them. Knock and Moth Sacraments both very in reach! And that artefact lets Luna summon MitL quite effectively.-Gained one Artifacts (Lantern, level 4, unstudied) of unknown properties.

but apparently the Frangiclave isn't in an expedition at all. It's in the DoA's Sacrament. I
…Oh that's just fucking mean. We really do need to do DoA's Sacrament.
If we use her action for a Knock lesson and then one of Velvet's to do that we're at least making progress.
I'm so confused where you're getting any of this from! And it seems a mix of wrong and confidently stating things we have no reason to be confident about.No we really shouldn't do DoA's Sacrament.
DoA's Sacrament is Velvet trading the Frangiclave for a Knock Sacrament. That's it, that's the deal.
What we/Velvet want is the Frangiclave. Because once Velvet has the Frangiclave she can free the DoA's in return for her friendship.
So if we want DoA's friendship we need to have Velvet do her own personal sacrament, go though the Foggy Mirror expedition, grab the Frangiclave, then free our new daughter.

If you want to be fancy, you could always reach for raisons d'être.

SCRIPTED!!! AGH!!! /j
When I read this, I felt scared, and very intrigued.Because for the first time in a very, very long time, the Name of Lantern is curious about something.
she means the Daughter of Axes' Knock sacrament:"With that in mind, tell me something Velvet. Has she ever asked you to go somewhere, in her stead? Has she ever asked you for a favor, or maybe asked you to do an errand for her? Has she ever offered you a deal?"
I suppose we could've just accidentally freed the Daughter of Axes by doing the sacrament anyway without knowing and saved Baldomare's action, but we did get the information we sought.KNOCK
Actions of your own: "Jade Whistle already did it before, with only a noose and a chair, so you are sure that you can learn how to do it properly. To spare her from having to ever do that again, if nothing else."
-Fully research the "To cut the skin of the world" project.
-You do NOT yet know how many actions this will take, or what will be its costs or demands.
The Daughter-of-Axes' invitation: "Ae sppose ae can wash yer hoof, s'long as ye wash mine as well. Ae need ye te run me an errant. Do tha' an' ae'll make et worth yer time. Bu' get sum'more Knock on ye farst, or else ye won' survive th' trip."
-Successfully complete her request on the "Through the foggy mirror" action. You do not know how many actions this will take.
-Your forays into the "Through the foggy mirror" action may be spaced through however many turns you wish, and you may invest however many actions per turn you wish into it. But the Daughter-of-Axes must be summoned every time you want to try it.
-You must reach 4/4 scraps of Knock before taking this action.

Oh… my heart . I miss reading about her in happier times. When I first binged the whole story, the appearance of any of the mane 6 was a treat.(Only Twilight would reach that level of book-obsession and weirdness).
In the light of this new information, I think we should read the new Knock Book, study some of the new Artifacts we have, try to launch the expedition for the Level 6 Book for Baldomare, and possibly fit in a second Sacrament action if we can.
Really? I was under the impression a Sacrament was a 'you reach a deeper, personal understanding of the Lore in question' kind of deal. I don't think you can do that twice for the same Lore.Nothing says we can't do our personal sacrament first afterall.
Somehow managed to miss this part of your post, but:Wow Expeditions have such good loot LOL it's wild how much we've ignored them. Knock and Moth Sacraments both very in reach! And that artefact lets Luna summon MitL quite effectively.
Your impression would be correct. It's one Sacrament per Lore.Really? I was under the impression a Sacrament was a 'you reach a deeper, personal understanding of the Lore in question' kind of deal. I don't think you can do that twice for the same Lore.

But what's the advantage of getting our Sacrament first, then? Do you think it would be better than DoA's? More importantly, do you think it would be better than DoA's to be worth the opportunity cost of having to pay for DoA's anyway?Just because you can't shape yourself via the action doesn't mean you can't perform it.
So like just because Velvet gets painted in Wolf-Divided Blood for her Edge Sacrament doesn't mean she can't go and kill Comet Feet in a challenge. Sure she won't get an edge sacrament but she'll still get Comet dead.
So Velvet going though the Foggy Mirror wouldn't shape* her understanding of the lore but she'd still get the Frangiclave.
*It might not even be the trip that gets the Sacrament anyways that just might be the cost like it is for Baldomare's lantern Sacrament.
