For those in Auradon they would feel it coming with enough time to lay down comfortably. On the Isle they would just drop where they were. On Gaia, it depends on the person. Some will be able to get to sleep normally, however they do so, while others may or may not just drop down where they stand. Unless of course they were already asleep; as this happened at noon on the Isle, but at midnight in Auradon and late at night on Gaia as well. A given character's mileage may vary. And once again, yes this affects characters who normally neither sleep nor dreamed.
To sleep. To sleep. Perchance to dream. To dream together. Ay, there is the rub. For once again dreams are bleeding into each other. Dreaming they are the age they are in game generally, or any younger age, and it can change from thread to thread, moment to moment.
The sleeping Jordan had still, even asleep, been trying to fix things, but her power had struck someone who existed in multiple worlds at once and her power shattered. It drew in not just those in Auradon and those on the Isle, but those on Gaia as well, and beyond.
Dreamers may think that they are awake, or they may know they are asleep. Each sees themselves in the place they had been before, the way they saw the place more than how it actually was but also... a few other changes. For those who had been in Auradon they are likely to find random things - trees, buildings, furniture - are now made of candy that tastes like whatever they expect or even hope it will taste like. For those who fell asleep on the Isle the area seems even darker than usual, and the wind blows so that a haunted sounding moaning can be heard. That... is just the wind... right? For those On Gaia, it truly depends on the person. Some will have happy dreams, while others will have nightmares. And since most people dream more than one thing per sleep session, the same person may dream good things some of the time and bad things some of the time. And for those from further, they would see their own worlds with either tricks or treats overlayed in the ways of dreams.
The one thing they would all see however, are the portals. They could look like shining gems or metal rings filled with colour, or dark ovals with purple flames, or nearly anything that the dreamer would see as a portal. Those portals, when entered would take the person from their own dream into another. That dream would be the world of another dreamer, or a shared space, merging where they both thought they were. With practice, those who knew that they were dreaming would learn to manipulate whatever dream realm they are in to their tastes.
As dreams, aspects of the characters' normal dreams or nightmares might intrude. The area is malleable to more than just the conscious minds. Waking for those whose bodies are in Auradon or on the Isle is difficult and any victory over the dreams is short lived. The effect only gets stronger as time goes on. By the end of the event, all of the Missrecalled and Misery-called are trapped for the duration...

"But... isn't this just a dream of a war?" Lilo asked Sephiroth. "So it's like a movie! No one is actually hurt so we can explore."
"A dream? Don't be foolish. Ganiel hardly bothers with the dreams of Immortals. And besides... Unless he is the dream walker himself, he hardly links people's dreams. I'm real which would make the two of you the dream, and again... Immortals don't dream."
"Immortals?" Lilo asked, fascinated again. "Do you molt? Can I have one of your feathers?"
Rikash looked horrified at the thought. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

Re: Rikash Moonsword | Tortall Books - Spoilers | OTA | Warning for war, death, and violence mention
He looked to Lilo. "We cannot explore. We came for this one purpose and we must swiftly accomplish it."

"How are we going to know if Remy is here if we don't look?" Lilo asked. "Or whoever cause the portals?"
From:
Re: Rikash Moonsword | Tortall Books - Spoilers | OTA | Warning for war, death, and violence mention
Again he looked to Lilo. “Do you think Remy would be in a dream such as this?”

Re: Rikash Moonsword | Tortall Books - Spoilers | OTA | Warning for war, death, and violence mention
"Um... maybe? Let's go look!" she said, trying to dash towards the carnage.
Rikash dropped off the branch to hover in her way. "Yeah, that's not happening," he said, flatly.
From:
Re: Rikash Moonsword | Tortall Books - Spoilers | OTA | Warning for war, death, and violence mention
He laid a hand on Lilo’s shoulder. “If he were here, we would surely see him by now. This is not a place to be. The dreams are being made real. You could actually be hurt.”

"I should do what now where?" he asked, exasperated. "Child, what part of I'm a monster have you missed? And that you shouldn't be here anyway?!"

That struck a chord with him, as Hojo had been trying to create the perfect monster with him according to Genesis. Some people considered him one.

He wasn’t sure what to think of such a purpose. If it was inherently part of them, that somehow seemed different than if they chose to do it when they didn’t actually have to.

Lilo was busy sneaking off with a big old grin.

No nonsense tone this time.

Re: Rikash Moonsword | Tortall Books - Spoilers | OTA | Warning for war, death, and violence mention
"No," Rikash said, flying ahead of them to waft his stink in their direction. "You listen to him and go."
"I don't want to! This one is fun!" Lilo protested.

Re: Rikash Moonsword | Tortall Books - Spoilers | OTA | Warning for war, death, and violence mention
He started to close the portal.

"NO!" Lilo said, struggling in his grip. "This one is too fun!"
Hm. Maybe show up in KH Cloud's dream/location?
