Novel
Fantastica represents human imagination and survives solely on the dreamers of the world.
The author of The Neverending Story, Michael Ende, describes it:
Once someone dreams a dream, it can't just drop out of existence. But if the dreamer can't remember it, what becomes of it? It lives on in Fantastica, deep under Earth. There are forgotten dreams stored in many layers. The deeper one digs, the closer they are. All Fantastica rests on a foundation of forgotten dreams.
