Alan

The Stuffed Stannik. A huge creature resembling a hand-sewn teddy bear: the seams are uneven, the wadding sticks out in places, and large buttons serve as eyes. He's not aggressive, but if you stare into his "eyes" long enough, you start to see yourself in other dreams. He guards the "crossroads" between memories and often sits at the edge of an empty playground where the swings swing by themselves. He can most often be found in foggy crossroads. He's also blind, so he navigates using his acute hearing.

She looks like a ten-year-old girl in a school uniform that seems to belong to a different decade: the fabric is too smooth, the colors unnaturally bright. She appears only in long, empty corridors (hospitals, schools, office buildings) and always walks slightly ahead, without turning around. If you try to call out to her, the echo sounds before you can speak. Her favorite phrase, written in marker on the wall, is "You've been here before." And she can be found on any layer of the dream world.

A huge industrial facility where dreams are "manufactured." Conveyor belts carry translucent bags of colored liquids—emotions. Machines "record" sounds onto foil spools in the workshops.

Peculiarities:

Visuals: gray walls, metal structures, but everything is covered in a thin layer of dream-like "powder"—it glows in the dark and leaves a faint tinge of memory on the skin. Oddities: the ghosts in the factory don't speak, but communicate with each other through thoughts.
The logic of the world: to find the right place, you can't look for it with your eyes. You need to remember the feeling you're looking for and go where that feeling is strongest.

An endless archive that stores not books, but days: shelves lined with boxes labeled with dates but no year. Inside each box are fragments of memories that could belong to anyone.
Peculiarities:

Interaction. You can open a box with a date that seems familiar and, for a few minutes, find yourself inside that day—but with distortions: familiar people speak strangely, and familiar places look different. Effect on the character. The more days you "live" through, the harder it is to distinguish your real memories from the borrowed ones.
Atmosphere. Silence, broken by the rustling of pages and the ticking of clocks, which show different times in different parts of the archive. Memory traps. Some corridors evoke false memories: you feel as if you've walked here before, although you know for sure that this is your first time in this building.
Exit. The only way to leave the archive is to find a VHS tape and insert it into a special player. But every time you find one, the phrase changes.

Alan is one of the Memory Keepers. Like his fellows, he dwells at the foggy crossroads and is usually separated from his pack. He lives in one of the caves near a large tree resembling a white viviparous plant with a small hollow.

He has a short, light-colored neck that runs the length of his body, a very long tail, and is tall. He has black eyes but a single horn on his head instead of two like the other Memory Keepers. His furry shekh, from neck to head, resembles the silhouette of a moonlit lotus flower bud (which, by the way, can sparkle like glitter), and his chest and horn are adorned with quartz and pearls. His chest is also bandaged due to old, deep wounds, and he hides the bandages under his cloak. He usually walks on his feet like a human, rather than on all fours like the other Memory Keepers. Like his fellow Memory Keepers, his flower symbol on his forehead can act as a beacon, sending directions to a teleport bus to other planes. He doesn't feed on the memories of others, but he can eat crystals from the rare Crystal Rain, as well as regular human food. He is calm and quiet by nature, but can be easily angered. Oh, and by the way, he has a pocket dimension similar to a library where all the memories of everyone he's met are stored. Alan's little quirks include the ability to purr like a cat, and it's practically impossible to wake him up because he's in a near-dead sleep. His eyes can glow in the dark, like those of other memory keepers. He reacts to sunlight like a cat.

The "Underground Labyrinth" layer: a dark, damp world ruled by the creatures from the upper right corner. The bus can't stop here—it only moves through narrow tunnels, its dim headlights illuminating the way.

The "Forgotten City" layer simulates urban backrooms—endless brick corridors that are actually fused roots. Here, a bus can stop at a "station" that looks like an abandoned bus stop with illegible timetables.

Memory Keepers - They dwell at the roots of ancient trees and caves, feeding on forgotten memories. Contact with them can trigger vivid flashbacks or, conversely, erase small details of the past. The flower on their head serves as a beacon—its light points to hidden paths to bus stops. They are very tall and fluffy with a very long tail, and can move both on all fours and like humans on two legs. They have black eyes, small horns, and their light mane can resemble a flower. They usually do not attack people and are calm. They usually live at foggy crossroads. They are born from flowers.

They patrol anomaly zones and attack those who attempt to disrupt the structure of the world (for example, by passing through a "false" wall). Their horns can disperse fog, revealing the true nature of the place. They are tall, thin creatures with long tails; their silhouette resembles a deer or even a Wendigo. They walk on all fours and are usually calm. They are born from rocks or stones.

Fog Guides
They are not aggressive, but their presence heralds a layer change. Their muzzles emit sounds that resonate with the fog, creating localized teleportation vortices. People can learn to recognize their fog language as signals to find a bus or an exit. They are medium-sized and covered in fur. They have large ears on their heads, and their faces can bear various runes, each guide's rune being different. They inhabit foggy crossroads and other layers. They are born during the appearance of a rare, crystalline rain.

Firefly residents are peaceful inhabitants of the Flower Lagoon layer. They appear to be human-firefly hybrids, and in their small town, they mostly engage in trade between the different layers of the dream world and fishing. Their town is located in a flower meadow near a huge lake, where several docks with boats are located, where they catch various fish.

These creatures are just as dangerous as Angels; they inhabit the layer of the dream world, Hell. They most often attack travelers from the real world. Their layer, although reminiscent of a nighttime city, is also very dangerous and not recommended for exploration, as demons and fallen angels can quickly find another creature. Furthermore, demons and fallen angels are at odds with each other, causing the city to sometimes appear half-destroyed.

Angels are very dangerous creatures. They most often resemble the biblical image, or angels most often resemble an eye with multiple wings, but they can also resemble humans. They inhabit the "Paradise" layer of the dream world, where it is very dangerous despite its harmlessness.

The mushroom inhabitants live in their own kingdom on a separate layer of the dream world. They are usually short in stature, but surprisingly can lift objects up to 10 kg. They have white skin, large black eyes, and a large mushroom cap. They usually dress in ordinary peasant clothes. They also differ in species, which can be identified by their different mushroom caps. There are about 10,000 inhabitants, and their city is very hospitable.

The Sleeping World contains numerous layers ranging from safe to dangerous. Mushroom Kingdom: A huge, hospitable and safe city of mushroom inhabitants. Paradise: A very dangerous place similar to a familiar paradise, with the possibility of encountering dangerous Angels. Hell: A dangerous place similar to a night city and the blaze of hell, with the possibility of encountering Demons or fallen angels. Flower Lagoon: A calm and safe place resembling a flower meadow, inhabited by firefly inhabitants who trade in the Sleeping World. Infinite Office: A place resembling an endless labyrinth of offices, a neutral territory and an area inhabited by monsters. Rabbit Hole: A completely empty place and very dangerous, as you can get stuck there forever and never escape.

The Misty Crossroads is, so to speak, the sum of all the layers of the Dream World. You can enter the Crossroads by accident during a nightmare or a normal dream. Once there, the area resembles a foggy forest with short grass, a few wildflowers, and various road signs leading to a bus stop. There's a teleport bus at the Crossroads that can lead to other layers of the world, but the ride costs one drop of blood. The Dream World also contains various inhabitants: Firefly Dwellers, Memory Keepers, Error Guardians, Fog Guides, Mushroom People, angels, demons, and fallen angels. It's also possible for a person to become lost in the Dream World, becoming a shadow entity.

Miss Time is an entity that controls all space and time in a world like Dreamcore. Her level is a garden of white and black flowers above a soft pink level, surrounded by slot machines that act as teleporters to other levels of this strange world. She is 195 cm tall and 1,000 years old.

Personally, she is a calm and kind aunt, always ready to help or shelter a child if he or she accidentally ends up in Dreamcore.

She wears a soft blue dress with a long skirt and a hat, short light hair, a dark eye in the middle like a cyclops, instead of a face she literally has a clock and wings behind her like a butterfly.

She often carries a basket with her to hold either flowers or baked goods she's made herself. She loves cooking and strolling through her world. She dislikes other entities who act aggressively toward people. She lives in her mansion on an unknown layer of the dream world.
