The Vale of Sleep is also known as the Place between places. It is believed to be adjacent to the Shadow Lands of the Dead, and that all who go there must pass through the Vale, first. Not just the mortally wounded enter the Vale, however. All those who fall into non-magical slumber also enter it, for a time.
While the Vale often appears to be a large and continuous unlit forest, the Vale is divided into two different realms: the Dreamscape and the Nightmare Lands.
The Dreamscape is a vast space ruled by a beneficent being known as Reme or Rayam. It is a place of wisps and clouds which often form into different shapes and terrains based on the mind and experiences of the people in it.
The Lands are riddled with vines or webs which try to hold those who are within its borders and prevent them from leaving. They are ruled by the Nightmare Man and his Nightmare Court from its center. His court includes Hypnos, Mullonga the Witch, the Rainbow Serpent, Morpheus, and the Ghost Dancer.
