8

When I made my own travels to the Dream, I attempted to keep as many notes
as possible, writing down every experience as soon as I had awoken.  Many
times, one location would be changed, moved some distance from the first
time I saw it.  General patterns remained the same, but change, rather than
stability, was the rule when traveling in the Dream.  

It is dubious to imagine a region constantly changing and infinite in extent
as having a well-defined shape or topology, but there are a few relatively
fixed points which bear mentioning as part of the Dream's geography.  

If the Dream has a center, it is the Evermore Plains.  Always changing, and
perhaps infinite in extent, the plains seem to link to a large number of
demesnes within the Dream.  The plains themselves are mainly scrubland or
barren, with one principle denizen -- wispy gray spirits, who periodically
interact with visitors to the place (often in a rather hostile manner!)  . 
Who or what these spirits are is a matter of some debate, but the most
plausible explanation is that they are the souls of spirits who have been
trapped in the Dream, and for whatever reason are unable or unwilling to
leave.  The plains are also marked with odd standing stones, whose peculiar
patterns seems to indicate paths leading to various parts of the Dream.
