Dream World
Overview
Long ago, dreams were disconnected from reality and could only affect someone through memory. Nowadays, one's spiritual body can travel to and from the Dream World to acquire special treasures, abilities, and, more often than not, injuries. It is impossible to tell when exactly the Dream World became linked with the living one, however, most Laureates believe it had something to do with the Fey.
Naturalists convey stories from the Fey which tell of their ancestors' desire to torment living creatures in ways the physical world couldn't allow. It was then they learned of what humans call "dreams". Over time, the Fey learned to access the Dream World and spent a millennium connecting it to the imaginations of every living creature in the real world.
At first glance, the Dream World may seem familiar to the physical one. However, you'll quickly realize the dangerous difference is that anything is possible. Here, you are at the whim of your own imagination. If you accidentally think of drowning, you may find yourself trapped under an ocean of water. If you think of your hands turning into poisonous snakes, they just might. Anything and everything can happen, and it only takes the smallest wandering thought to wind up in a deadly situation.
