Cosmology

Cosmology describes the many worlds found across the Dreaming.

Dreaming
Everything that there is - every world, every thought, every event - is in Dreaming. The word might as well be a substitute for 'universe', or more accurately 'multiverse', since there are different distinct spaces found within it. Within Dreaming, the two spaces we care about the most are The Waking World and Deep Dreaming.

Deep Dreaming, the Waking World
The Deep Dreaming is the space through which magic is possible. By cordoning off a section of it in a Dreamscape, you can manifest dreams into reality. However, it is unique among worlds, since it is only accesible mentally. In the most simple terms, it is a 'plane of thought': pure mind. Nothing physical can truly take shape there, which is why a Dreamscape is necessary to bridge the gap. It is not a place that one can physically visit.

Conversely, at its most fundamental level, the Waking World is physical. It is stable, it exists, and nothing purely mental can take shape there. It is also our world, so we call it 'reality'.

On a straight line with 'reality' on the left and 'dream' on the right, the Waking World is positioned on the far left, and the Deep Dreaming on the far right. Such is the distance between body and mind.

Insulae and the In-Between
There is distance between body and mind, which the Rinespire deigns to call The In-Between. Here, the lines between reality and dream are blurred. Within this space are found what scholars call Insulae - parallel worlds sustained by incredibly powerful thoughts, dreams, and minds.

The Waking World is significant for being the only 'undreamed' world.
