In dreams, the Oneroi can only be fought by others of their kind. They are gods and have the full range of god-powers. And, much like the gods, both the Oneroi and Skoti can choose to take form in the human realm on earth.
When in human form they still lack emotions, but have all the powers inherent with their Oneroi blood. They are still gods and are very much omnipotent. They assume human form to "mark" a host, meaning they scope the host out and follow them with a psychic link that enables them to infiltrate dreams later. They can also manipulate and siphon while human, but they must be very careful to avoid detection.
There's another way a Dream-Hunter can become truly human: He or she must stop eating ambrosia and drinking the nectar of the gods. We all know the result of this, don't we? Not only will the Dream-Hunter lose his immortality, but he will also lose all of his powers. He won't just be human, he will be mortal. It is a high price to pay for a Dream-Hunter—the highest price, some would say.
It is not a path that is taken lightly... or often.
