Dreamscapes are rare pocket dimensions that exist within the Dream Plane and exist as bulges or bubbles within the Wall of Color. Each dreamscape represents a dream or nightmare somehow given more substance, representing a level of reality between that of a dream and that of the normal waking world. As such, death in dreamscapes can cause real and terrible trauma for the dreamer in the waking world. However, like other dreams, dreamscapes only have fleeting existences and are triggered by serious life events of strong emotion. The only permanent dreamscapes are those crafted by the Nightmare Court for their victims to terrorize them during their sleeping hours.[1]

In the Nightmare Lands, dreamscapes are part of the Ring of Dreams.
