Before the invention of "De la Llave Method”, achieving a lucid dream was quite complicated, but it was more challenging to have them at their own will. Few humans could visit the Land of Dreams, and even fewer could "stay" there... but there were enough of them to create the first oneiric city: The Palace of Desires.
The Pioneers
These early dream travelers, the true oneironauts, were considered an elite because they learned everything they knew from their own experience. The new generations, who used the "De la Llave Method”, called them the "Pioneers."
The popularization of the "De la Llave Method” caused a massive arrival of dreamers to the Land of Dreams that became known as the "Great Wave." It provoked the massification of dreams, creating problems from the oneiric society.
The Guilds of Oniria
What at first was a "selected club of oneironauts" had become a henhouse. The Palace of Desires ceased to be a monument for meetings and became the central symbol of a great city that appeared as if from nowhere, with thousands of stands, houses, vehicles... and problems. To coordinate all the dreamers, some of the Pioneers founded the Guilds of Oniria: groups of oneironauts with common objectives. The Triple Star, the largest of these guilds, and its Leader, Tiberius, govern the Palace of Desires with an iron fist until today.
The Palace of Desires
People had turned Oniria's heart into something like an MMO. The city, by extension, was also called the Palace of Desires, so if someone said that name, it was necessary to specify whether they meant the monument or the city.
It was a chaotic city without any foresight or urban design. Every night it could look one way or another, depending on the dreamers who came to it. It was not uncommon to see an old castle fade away and become a neighborhood of colorful houses in a matter of seconds, or the traffic on the street stop being horse-drawn carriages and become cars. The city lost its immensity on the horizon to wherever you looked.
The Grand Oniria Stadium
However, there were permanent or quasi-permanent places. Places erected by oneironauts with the use of sand. Among them, one of the most popular was the Grand Oniria Stadium.
The Grand Oniria Stadium is a gigantic sports palace where the most popular dream sports were played and competed, such as telekinetic basketball.
Say that many dreamers entered Oniria only to play that sport was an understatement. Players became professional, and they have created high-performance centers in Awakeland where their sleeping bodies could be attended while they trained in Oniria.
When humans meet Kabus
The veteran oneironauts rarely passed through the Palace of Desires and preferred to dedicate themselves to exploring and getting to know other regions of Oniria, which seemed never to end. However, nobody approached the Scorched Forest. A horrible place where most of the Kabus had retreated to: these are the natural inhabitants of Oniria, popularly known as "nightmares."
Humans and Kabus are still getting to know each other, but most oneironauts are unaware that not all Kabus are nightmares to be feared. Kabus are seen as enemies, human ignorance was once again at work, and very few voices were raised to defend the original inhabitants of the Land of Dreams...
