nightmare realm
Terrifying dream world
A nightmare realm is a domain of terror and dread, whether in dreams, fiction, or metaphor.
Fantasy and horror use it for dimensions where dark forces rule or where the laws of reality bend toward torment: The portal opened into a nightmare realm of endless corridors and watching eyes.
Figuratively, any situation of sustained horror becomes a nightmare realm: The war zone had become a nightmare realm.
