mindscapes
Inner thought landscapes
Mindscapes are the imagined landscapes of someone's inner mental world—the terrain of thoughts, memories, dreams, and emotions.
The word treats consciousness as a place that can be explored or mapped: The novel takes readers through the protagonist's fractured mindscapes.
