Imagine a World of Possibilities
The Dream Sanctum is a world you can enter in your sleep, a world of dreams where you have nearly limitless power: if you can imagine it, you can do it. But this is no ordinary lucid dream; in the Sanctum you can see other people from all over the world. The teenager standing on the street corner is a student who has fallen asleep in class, while the tall man who just greeted you in passing is asleep on the other side of the planet. Once you get in, you can return whenever you wish.
Rumors are going around, whispers of a shapeless shadow, one that can multiply at will. These shadows, known only as Nightmares, are not bound by the rules of the world, and they are said to attack any dreamer at will. Many have comforted themselves with the idea that if they are attacked, they will simply wake up. But rumors are also going around that if you die in this dream you die in the real world as well... » Read More

Sanctum Commandments The Creators established a beautiful world for everyone to enjoy, but it still has its code of conduct. In here you can find our expectations for member behavior and other informational threads. Try not to misbehave; the guards aren't known for their sense of humor.
Adora's Help Kiosk (1 sub-board) "Maps? Maps are there!" If you're lost, having trouble with something on the forum or just need to ask for assistance, this is the place. You get a map whether you want one or not, but don't worry -- they're free. Moderator: Map-Lady Adora
Arriving in Anathor Every dreamer first arrives into the Sanctum by passing through the golden door, then subsequently trying very hard not to hit the wall in the room they crash-land into. Come say hello to the rest of our members here (and if you put a dent in the wall, stay away from Kwin).
Pending Profiles (1 sub-board) Place all new OC profiles here. When your profile is approved, it will be moved to the corresponding accepted board. No replies, please.
Canon Character Applications Please post here if you are applying for a canon character; knowledge of source material is required. Please do not reply in other peoples' applications.
Exploring the World If the other locations just aren't for you, enter here. Wander off the beaten path and go wherever you please. There is always something new to find in this world no matter how long you've been here.
Capital Cities The Aqua Capitol, Sky Capitol and Golden Capitol are the jewels of the dream world, the three landmarks that people from all over the world travel to see. Each is unique and fascinating in its own way, and all are welcome -- just try not to get lost.
The Real World Unfortunately, real life duties call to us all, and whether we are returning for work or school, we must eventually wake up. The real world is what we all know it to be, with all its problems and monotony, but it's nice to take a break from adventuring and hang out with your friends in the real world (especially if they have no idea what the Dream Sanctum is).

General Talk When you're done roleplaying for the day, kick up your feet, don't fall over backward and come chat about things. Music, movies, games, your evil parents, or food (especially food, since food is amazing) all count.
Extended Discussion Use your superior intellect to debate the problems the world faces right now, in the past and in the future. Remember to keep it civil and play nice; there aren't many rules, but the ones regarding respect are strictly enforced.
Archived Threads (3 sub-boards) Threads that are long gone but not yet forgotten, old and inactive threads are organized into their respective subboards here. You can find everything from the profiles of old dreamers to completed roleplays.
Feel free to view our source code if you find something interesting, but please do not copy directly as there have been significant edits to make all codes compatible with each other and could wind up breaking your forum. You can ask at Adora's Help Kiosk if you want to know where the original code or codes (depending on what you're interested in) can be found.
