Not much is known about this realm*.* I have only met a few that have been into this realm with one of them bringing me a journal that they found during their travel. Those that went into this realm are said to never want to return, as they find comfort in living among their loved ones that are no longer here. The way into this realm is currently unknown, as per this research. Here, the line that separates the world of the beyond and the world of the living are thin. Any thinking creatures and those that have magical gifts can walk freely between worlds. Although, in places where the line is thinner than others, spirits and other unattractive guests may roam those places and show themself. In those places, it doesn’t take a magical ability to see the world of the beyond.
How does one visit the world of the beyond you might ask? The world of the beyond can only be visited through dreams. One must be able to be fully conscious when they’re dreaming and when that happens, there they are in the world of the beyond. Everyone’s version of the world of the beyond is different. It’s a world that reflects your memory. The more you travel, the more people you meet, the more there is to the world of the beyond. But, there’s more to it.
This is a place where you can meet and even see the spirit of the dead, even the spirits of those who are not born yet. One can befriend a spirit and once they earned the spirit’s respect/trust enough, the spirit may even be willing to do the dreamer’s bidding.
You cannot enter the world of the beyond in your physical forms but the other way may happen. Spirits, if their will to live is strong enough and the line that separates both worlds is thin, are able to form a body and live amongst the living.
That is why this gift is dangerous if learned by the wrong people. A powerful mage will know the safest place to keep a secret is in The World Beyond. A world only they can enter, crafted by their own imagination. Moreover, if they know better, to befriend some spirits and ask those to guard their secrets.
Those that have learned this art are known as The Reveurie, at least by the humans. Others may know them under different names. Somniari, Oneiropola, Al-sabih.

Day 1
This place feels… old. I am not welcome here. They made it clear. The song grows louder and louder and…
No.
Dark and cold. Scared and alone. I am real, and they are not. I am real, and they are not. I am real, and they are not. I am real, and they are not. I am real, and they are not. I am real, and they are not. I am real, and they are not.
Day 2
He told me to go back but I don't want to. I don’t belong here. It’s wrong. The chant grows louder. I don’t like it here. Too many people hurting, so many eyes seeing, peering, lurking. Hurt people hurts people.
They’re gonna catch me. I have to go, I NEED to go. Wake up. Please. Wake up.
