+===== Parasoma =====
+(pr. pair-ah-SOH-mah) Some denizens refer to this place as the Nightmare Lands. Here horrors and monstrosities lay in wait for their prey, luring them in with fantastical treasures, promises of riches beyond one’s imaginations, anything that one’s heart could desire, but in the end it is naught but a lie. Legends speak that deep within the heart of the Nightmare Lands is a tree that bears silver wings and promises great treasure at risk of complete ruin for those that seek it out. Pray that you never break a promise with a denizen of Parasoma, for a nightmare will never forget.

 It only gets weirder the farther in. At some point you may notice a tree with a piece cut out of it, and in the center is a bamboo stalk. This is deemed the last point of safety and anyone who knows of this place would advise you to turn back now. That being said some have traveled beyond this point and while accounts vary wildly one consistency is the existence of a vast sea, expanding eternally out into the horizon.
+===== The Sea of Dreams =====
+A roiling, unfathomable black ocean of raw chaotic energy made up of the collective unconscious of the waking races. This part of the Dreaming is seldom seen, and it is said that it came into existence alongside the First Dream, existing alongside but not within the Dreaming.
+This Sea is not easy to get to, as it exists on the very fringes of the Dreaming between consciousness and madness, and almost all who embark to its shores return changed, or never at all. It is from the Sea of Dreams that the [[lore:creatures:dreamt#old_dreamt|Old Dreamt]] were born.
+Any fey that reaches the Sea of Dreams and tries to harness its power will find themself immediately consumed and destroyed by its waters before being reborn in a new consciousness. Waking races that interact with the Sea of Dreams will not be able to harness its power at all, finding it to function like an ordinary body of water, though the water cannot be moved or transported by any means. Only the Old Dreamt can exert any power over the Sea.
