Realm of Dreams (concept)

Also referred to as the Dream Plane, the Realm of Dreams is considered in Zaoranian cosmology to be adjacent to the Waking World. And separated from Baizar Mana only by Shāhmsur, the Endless Flow - a river that no mortal can cross, its waters being the essence of time itself.

At times, Shāhmsur overflows, spilling into the dreams of mortals. It is through these glimpses that people see what was, what will be, what could be, and what could have been.

The Realm of Dreams holds a central place in Amsari understanding of the world. Many individuals and scholars dedicate their lives to its study. As such Amsar is considered a center of Dream Magic. Planewalkers are not uncommon, and the pursuit of knowledge in the field has always been seen as prestigious.

It is said that during their ten years of absence, The Prophet dwelled in the Realm of Dreams, where Zaoran revealed to them the truths of existence and bade them drink from Shāhmsur.
