Editing Demiplane of Nightmares (section)

==Demiplane of Nightmares==
The Demiplane of Nightmares was first mentioned by that name in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd edition, in the [[Planescape]] splatbook "A Guide to the [[Ethereal Plane]]. Here, it is simply mentioned as being a demiplane where nightmares are made real, with an obviously implied connection to the [[Plane of Dreams]] that it doesn't bother to actually fucking well elaborate on. No, we're not kidding: this is the entirety of its entry from that source:

'''Demiplane of Nightmares:''' Here's a place where a body's darkest thoughts and fears become reality, like living nightmares. The demiplane itself is terrible to look at, designed with strange angles and stranger geometry, and even a well-traveled blood's sure to think twice about staying in this realm for long. The creatures inhabiting the demiplane are horrific beings, monsters whose essence repels the most twisted bashers. 'Course, some cutters say that these nightmare beasts find other planewalkers equally horrifying, but no one's stuck around on this demiplane long enough to find out.

Finally, in [[Dragon Magazine]] #327, the article "Winning Races: Diaboli", which presented a 3.5 PC writeup up the Diabolus, that long-time inhabitant of the Dimension of Nightmares, what remains the definitive iteration of the demiplane so far... if only because no greater amount of information has ever been shed on it!

According to this source, the Demiplane of Nightmares is a unique demiplane that is coterminous with both the [[Ethereal Plane]] and the [[Plane of Dreams]]. Ordinarily, it would simply be a rather [[Limbo]]-like place of unfettered potential and dream-logic; chaotic, and perhaps scary, but harmless. However, it has also become partially coterminous with the [[Far Realm]], and its maddening influence has begun seeping into the Demiplane of Nightmares, turning it into a hellish place.

The last reference to the Demiplane of Nightmares since then is in the [[Creature Catalog]] of [[Dragon Magazine]] #343, where the writeup of the [[malfera]] states that the Demiplane of Nightmares is the demiplane where "evil dreams are grown and planted within mortal minds".
