dreamland
Where sleepers wander
Dreamland is the imaginary realm of sleep and dreams, or any place of fantasy and unreality.
It often describes a state of pleasant obliviousness: She was off in dreamland during the meeting.
The word can refer to an idealized place: a dreamland of endless summer.
Parents use it when coaxing children to sleep: Time to head off to dreamland.
