The Dream World (夢の世界 Yume no Sekai), also called the Secret Passageway (秘密の連絡通路 Himitsu no Renraku Tsūro), is a world that supposedly can only be accessed via dreaming. Not much thorough detail is known about the world.

General Information

The world is supposed to only be accessed via a dream. However, as of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, it is possible to access it via the physical body. It is shown to be located in outer space, as Sanae Kochiya puts it "I'm flying through space!" Despite it being outer space, the place seems breathable. Somehow, it connects Gensokyo with the Moon, with the Moon been viewable from a certain distance within the world. It is a world of nightmare, where a resident called Doremy Sweet (a baku) will lurk around. Reisen Udongein Inaba wondered why the "most dangerous youkai" was around the dream world, and has said that the dream world is used only for moon rabbits as a passageway. Doremy has said that 'nightmare fragments', or space debris, can come across the world and cause damage. She also says that "dreams invade your mind more than reality itself" and "dreams used unnaturally are extremely dangerous."

In the said game, there appears to be flying yin-yangs and Makai-types of fairies and sunflower fairies also flying around this world. ZUN states that these are "just things in each dream," but are still mischievous of them to spread barrages of danmaku despite being in a dream.

According to an article in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, and Butterfly Dream Pill can give you a pleasent dream weithin this world, according to Eirin Yagokoro. However, the Dream World is "another self", and if a dream is too enjoyable, then there's a chance that the real world and the Dream World may switch places, thus not abling to return from the Dream World, so one must be careful of overdosing the pills. Maribel Hearn once supposedly went to the Dream World in Changeability of Strange Dream.

There is no canon information that the Fantasy World (夢幻世界) in Lotus Land Story and/or the World of Fantasies (幻夢界) in Story of Eastern Wonderland is the same world as the Dream World, or even the two from the PC-98 games are the same. The kanji in these proper nouns are different, and that alone could suggest that they're different worlds. Also, another dream world has been said in Lotus Land Story.

Appearances

Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom

After her defeat, Ringo told the heroine to go through this dream world to get to the Lunar Capital. However, they were stopped by Doremy Sweet, believing that the heroine is having a nightmare, but discovers that it's their physical body. With Reisen Udongain Inaba however, she knew who she was. Asking if they were caught in a trap, she finds out that they can see the Moon and thus was given the job to take care of them, but was defeated. She says that they've got a strong body to be in the world and that they'll be facing a nightmare worse than the dream world.
