Dream World Name (if any): Oz
Canon or Original?: The Wizard of Oz
Description: Oz is a place of color to contrast with the drab reality of mundane life. It is described as 'uncivilized' compared to Dorothy's native Kansas, which allows witches and wizards to exist there. Animals are also known to be able to talk, notably the cowardly lion.
More information at wikipedia here.
Specific Locations: A yellow brick road leads from Munchkinland to the Emerald City. There is also the witch's home. Along the way, there is a large forest and a field of poppies.
The Emerald City itself is presented as a paradise, where no one needs to work (very hard, or at all) and the day is spent in much more pleasant and fun pursuits.
Dangers or Threats: The witch. She has been known to interfere with and dislike outsiders.
The forest. The trees of the forest seem to have their own will, and to dislike tresspassers. The way also includes plenty of signs warning travelers to turn back.
Flying monkeys: These do the bidding of the witch and can be a nuisance.
Poppies: Spending too long around the poppies can put an unwary traveler to sleep.
The Wizard: While he has been known to be able to give people something they lack (if they do something for him in return - or if they already have it and just need to realize it), he is also unfriendly, and a humbug. He has also been known to hand out rather dangerous quests in return for his help.
Objects or Rewards: The ruby slippers. A point of contention, they also have the power to allow their wearer to return home - that is, wake up.
Extra Notes: While the books portrayed Oz as real, the 1939 movie depicted it as a world in Dorothy's dream. Aspects of both can be used for exploration, as muns decide.
