Where do you go when you sleep?

While dreaming, your awareness may go to the amazing Dreamlands, an analog of Earth on another plane of existence - at least according to an exciting new theory from Miskatonic University's Dr. Sila Gibbons.

"The Dreamlands are a green and golden place where your happiest dreams and direst fears become true" he declares. "This paradise even has no income tax."

Having once dreamt your way to the Dreamlands, you can return again and again; during a few hours' sleep, weeks of exploration and adventure pass before your eyes.

Deep-dreaming is not for everyone - the good doctor cautioning that the Dreamlands are dangerous as well as beautiful. - International Inquirer, Aug. 8, 1988.
