=== Dreams ===
Outside of the visions, the Stormfather is capable of communicating through dreams.{{book ref|sa2|32}} Those dreams usually take place in a blank space that seems outside of time and space.{{book ref|sa3|4}} People experiencing them feel as though everything around them fades away, replaced by solid ground and wind that seems to stop in place.{{book ref|sa3|31}} Unlike the visions, the dreams seem to take up no time at all in the real world.{{book ref|sa3|16}} The Stormfather can also let a person "ride the storm," allowing them to experience being the storm itself; like the visions, these require the person to be within the storm unless they are a Bondsmith. The only known singer to have done this, [[Eshonai]], gained a fundamental understanding of Roshar's [[Roshar#Rhythms|Rhythms]] as well.{{book ref|sa4|117}}

While a Bondsmith can use Adhesion the way a [[Windrunner]] would,{{book ref|sa3|28}} they can also apply their powers in different manner, using them more in the [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]]. Using Spiritual Adhesion, a Bondsmith can form a connection between themselves and another person, allowing them to speak their language.{{book ref|sa3|65}} They also seem capable of hearing the spiritual aspects of objects, and use this to mend broken things back whole.{{book ref|sa3|59}} Bondsmiths can also summon Stormlight at will, although this requires significant effort.{{wob ref|12295}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} Due to his connection with highstorms, his Bondsmith will feel more energetic on highstorm days.{{book ref|sa4|71}}
There are several differences between the Stormfather and other Radiant spren. Unlike them, he is capable of maintaining consciousness in the Physical Realm even without the Bond, although it grants him deeper understanding of humanity and its foibles, along with the ability to empathize with others and more human responses, like cursing.{{book ref|sa3|38}} He also does not become a Shardblade, either due to his immense power or due to his immense dislike for humanity.{{book ref|sa2|89}} In addition, he can hear statements or questions directed to him, and speak directly into his Surgebinder's mind, even if he does not seem to be nearby.{{book ref|sa3|4}} His Bondsmith can also communicate with him by thinking.{{book ref|sa4|71}}{{book ref|sa3|50}}
