dreamscapes
Nocturnal mental terrains
Dreamscapes are imaginary landscapes, the kind of surreal or fantastical settings that appear in dreams or evoke that quality.
The word describes visual art, literature, film, or music that creates an otherworldly atmosphere: The album's ambient tracks conjure hazy dreamscapes.
A dreamscape may be beautiful, unsettling, or both—logic suspended, imagery vivid but strange.
