Belerin's Codex Of The Planes 1
From Immwiki
1 The Dream is not, as some scholars have intimated, simply a pocket dimension attached to the prime material. It certainly does not have an independent existence like the true greater planes, but its vast, nearly infinite extent teems with a diversity of content and form. Some have called the Dream a shadow -- others, a mirror. Both are to some extent correct, for the dream is in large part a reflection of the world of the prime material. But, in its farthest regions, beyond the places tread by mortal kind, there are sections of the Dream which are completely divorced from any physical reality of which we are aware. Could the Dream reflect other physical realities? The dream is also unique in that the minds of even the most commonplace mortal will most likely touch it during the course of their life. The experience of touching the altered reality of the Dream is something most will ascribe to a natural phenomena, but in reality it points to the extremely deep psychic bonds which exist between the prime and the Dream. But consistent study of the Dream requires more than the random and fragmentary visions of sleep. The methods of contacting the dream are numerous, and, perhaps, even infinite. The "veil", or planar boundary between our own and the Dream varies in consistency throughout historical epoch, but it has always been that it is the easiest of the planes to reach -- though certainly not always the safest!
