The dream realm is the space between body and soul. It contains the eternal dreams and memories of bugs. According to the Seer, sometime in the past, the nightmare realm was split from the main dream realm.

Essence are the fragments of light that dreams are made of. The Radiance, a higher being who is brighter than Essence, likely holds the most power over the dream realm. Her descendants, the moth tribe, have the power to shape dreams. They possess the Dream Nail as well, which can cut through the veil that separates the waking world from the dream realm.

Dreams can take root as Whispering Roots, but they can also take the shape of those who have passed away, such as Ghosts. Furthermore, dreams are able to form based on memories. There are several dreams that The Knight can access in the dream realm.

Another type of Essence: Nightmare Essence or "flame", is unique to the Nightmare Realm and their Troupe. This type of Essence manifests itself into flames which are gathered for the ritual.

It is unknown whether White Palace was transported to the dream realm entirely or whether this is just a memory, however, a death in the White Palace is considered a physical death making it different from other dreams. The corpse of The Pale King can be found here on his throne along with a separate incarnation of Pale King within a memory at the end of Path of Pain.

Even though she is trapped here, she can still affect the dreams of bugs due to the Hollow Knight being impure.

A death in this dream is also considered physical.
