Leveraging our position, and whatever value we have, can be very effective. But, and I'm sure I'm sounding like a broken record at this point, it has to be done carefully because it can easily backfire. Especially since Riverstone knows we're aware of their actual interests, beyond just our powers.
[And it's a lot more difficult to manipulate people who are aware of it, which goes both directions; with the Displaced aware of Riverstone's intentions, it's difficult for Riverstone to twist things to their benefit. But, in reverse, it's also very difficult for the Displaced to try to use that implied value when Riverstone knows they're aware of the truth.]
But I agree, in the sense of practicing our powers and trying to better control dreams, especially since the latter seem to have very real and potentially widespread effect. The more we can do with them, the better.
