The Isle of Morpheus:
Have you ever wondered what happens to the dreams that plague your mind at night? No, most likely you haven’t. You’re probably under the delusion that your dreams and your nightmares are a creation of your own mind, and once you wake, they vanish, remaining only in your memories.
You would be wrong.
All humans have a psychic energy that appears when they slip into the final stages of sleep. Their mind develops certain properties and they create vivid scenes and beings. Nightmares and dreams are fathered by humans in their subconscious, but they don’t disappear once the human in question wakes up. Neither do they dwell in their minds, unbidden and temporarily forgotten. They go home.
The Isle of Morpheus is the realm of the imagined. The dream world, named obviously, for the Greek god of dreams. Both real and unreal, it is a vague, shifting realm of symbol, belief, and imagination. Time flows at a different rate in the Isle of Morpheus — each hour on earth represents a week or more there. The inhabitants are either long-lived or immortal, provided they avoid injury or disease. Despite its accelerated time, it rarely experiences change. Its geography, politics, and population remain fairly static.
