Dream Cycle

The Dream Cycle is a series of short stories and novellas by author H. P. Lovecraft[1] (1890–1937).

The Dreamlands are described as lying deeper than space, matter and time, and are a "limitless vacua beyond all thought and entity".

[2] The Dreamlands are divided into four regions: Other locales include the Underworld, a subterranean region underneath the Dreamlands inhabited by various monsters; the Moon, accessible via a ship and inhabited by toad-like "moon-beasts" allied with Nyarlathotep; and Kadath, a huge castle atop a mountain and the domain of the "Great Ones", the gods of Earth's Dreamland.

They were of that vaster and more appalling universe of dim entity and consciousness which lies deeper than matter, time, and space, and whose existence we suspect only in certain forms of sleep—those rare dreams beyond dreams which come never to common men, and but once or twice in the lifetime of imaginative men.Continuing on, the Dreamlands are described as limitless and beyond all thought and entity:There was a night when winds from unknown spaces whirled us irresistibly into limitless vacua beyond all thought and entity.

Viscous obstacles were clawed through in rapid succession, and at length I felt that we had been borne to realms of greater remoteness than any we had previously known.
