slumberland

Where dreams unfold

Slumberland is a fanciful name for the realm of sleep and dreams—an imaginary place one visits while sleeping.

The word appears mainly in children's literature and lullabies: Off to slumberland with you.

It suggests peaceful, dreamy sleep rather than restless nights.

Sometimes used playfully for beds or bedrooms: I'm heading to slumberland.
