	The name of [[Rayman]]'s world was first used on a printed map that came packaged with copies of the PC and Nintendo 64 versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. The French version of the map identified the world as ''La Croisée des Rêves'' (meaning ''The Crossroads of Dreams''), but the English localisation changed this name to ''The Glade of Dreams''.

	The Glade of Dreams is sustained by the [[Heart of the World]], the most important object in the cosmology of the [[Rayman (series)\|''Rayman'' series]]. This mystical keystone comprises the 1,000 [[Yellow Lum]]s that existed before the creation of [[Polokus]]. [[~~The~~ Heart of the World]], which usually takes the form of a shimmering pink sphere, provides and maintains the harmony, balance and energy of the Glade. The games often begin with the [[Heart of the World\|Heart]] being attacked by a villain; this usually results in cosmic unbalance, and the proliferation of strange phenomena and malevolent creatures. At the time of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the [[Heart of the World\|Heart]] is located in a chamber deep within [[the Fairy Council]]. It is guarded constantly by the [[Fairy\|fairies]], and also by the [[Grand Minimus\|King of the Teensies]], whose family has carried out this task all the way back to [[The First King\|their most distant ancestor]]. The [[Heart of the World\|Heart]]'s chamber doubles as the royal [[Teensie]] throne room.

The [[Great Protoon\|Protoon]] is never mentioned in the later games, where its place is largely taken by the [[Heart of the World\|Heart]].

	The next game, ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', takes place on a group of islands. Harking back to [[Rayman 1\|the original game]], they are clearly distinct, and some are naturalistic ([[Jibberish Jungle\|forest]], [[Mystical Pique\|mountain]], [[Sea of Serendipity\|sea]]), while others are surrealistic ([[Desert of Dijiridoos\|music]], [[Gourmand Land\|food]], [[Moody Clouds\|machinery]]). While some of these locations strongly resemble areas of [[the valley]], they do not seem to be located in the valley in the literal sense. ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' also introduces [[the Snoring Tree]] as the central resting place of [[Polokus]], and the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)\|Land of the Livid Dead]] as the Glade's nightmarish underworld. Though both are referred to as 'the Glade of Dreams', it is not clear how the islands of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' relate to the large island of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. It could be that the large island dissolved into smaller ones at the beginning of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', when the [[Livid Dead]] invaded and the dreams underlying reality began to disintegrate. It could also be that ''[[Rayman Origins\|Origins]]'' simply takes place on the [[Archipelago]], a series of small islands shown to be located off the south-east shore on the ''[[Rayman 2]]'' map.

			==Trivia==
			*The book ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'' claims that the Glade of Dreams may only exist in [[Polokus]]'s dreams, since it was his dreams that created the world. The book claims that this implies that the Glade does not exist and that the adventures that occur there are only in [[Polokus]]'s dreams, which could explain why the specifics of the Glade differ from one game to another.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 10 - Rayman's World</ref> This has not been confirmed in the games, however, so it is unknown if this theory is true.

	The '''Glade of Dreams''', also known as the '''Crossroads of Dreams''', is the world in which the [[Rayman (series)\|''Rayman'' series]] takes place. Surrounded by [[the Sea of Lums]], the Glade consists of a single large landmass with an archipelago of small islands off its south-west shore. It is filled with diverse environments which range from the natural (forests, lakes, rivers, mountain ranges, caves, volcanoes) to the surreal (lands composed entirely of [[Band Land\|music]], [[Picture City\|art supplies]] or [[Candy Château\|sweets]]). The Glade of Dreams was created by [[Polokus]], the Bubble Dreamer, whose power is so great that his slightest dream or desire becomes reality.

	In the beginning, there were only the [[Lum]]s – beings of pure energy that initially came in [[Yellow Lum\|yellow]], [[Red Lum\|red]], [[Purple Lum\|purple]] and [[Blue Lum\|blue]] varieties, each with their own special properties. One day, the [[Lum]]s focused themselves into thought, and brought forth [[Polokus\|Polokus the Bubble Dreamer]], a divine being whose power was so great that his every thought or desire became a reality. With nothing but his imagination, [[Polokus]] dreamt the Glade of Dreams into existence, and populated it with a wide variety of fantastical creatures. The Glade's balance and harmony were maintained by [[~~the~~ Heart of the World]] – a magical energy core consisting of the original 1,000 [[Yellow Lum]]s. [[Polokus]]'s dreams – and, therefore, the Glade itself – are composed of [[Electoon]]s, benevolent little pink creatures.

	According to legend, the Glade was originally [[Globox Disc\|shaped like a disc]], and the gods fought for power over [[~~the~~ Heart of the World]], which was located in the disc's center.

	When [[Polokus]] had completed the Glade of Dreams, one task remained: creating time.

When [[Polokus]] had completed the Glade of Dreams, one task remained: creating time. [[Polokus]] entered a deep sleep, and travelled in his dreams to the place where all the gods of all the worlds meet. Together they set about dreaming up the future.

	Unfortunately, [[Polokus]]' nightmares could manifest themselves in reality just as well as his dreams. According to the manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', when he had his [[First Bad Dream]], [[Polokus]] inadvertently created the monstrous [[Jano]], who began to spawn [[Antitoon\|Darktoons]], the nightmarish antitheses of the [[Electoon]]s. As the [[Antitoon\|Darktoons]] multiplied, they spread discord and evil throughout the Glade. In order to stop [[Jano]] and the [[Antitoon\|Darktoons]], the [[nymph]]s – a family of [[Fairy\|fairies]] dreamt into existence by [[Polokus]] – joined forces to create a hero dedicated to preserving the balance of the world: [[Rayman]]. After stopping [[Jano]], [[Rayman]] went on to have many more adventures, foiling the schemes of such villains as [[Mr Dark]], [[Admiral Razorbeard]], [[André]] and [[the Magician]].

	It is however unclear if this story of [[Rayman]]'s origins is true, as it conflicts with the other origin-stories as well as with ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where [[Rayman]] and [[Jano]] do not appear to have met before. It also does not explain the existence of [[Tarayzan]], for example, nor the absence of the [[Antitoon]]s in other games or even before the physical manifestation of [[Polokus]]' first nightmare narrated above.

	The Glade of Dreams is sustained by [[~~the~~ Heart of the World]], the most important object in the cosmology of the [[Rayman (series)\|''Rayman'' series]]. This mystical keystone comprises the 1,000 [[Yellow Lum]]s that existed before the creation of [[Polokus]]. [[The Heart of the World]], which usually takes the form of a shimmering pink sphere, provides and maintains the harmony, balance and energy of the Glade. The games often begin with [[~~The~~ Heart of the World\|~~the~~ Heart]] being attacked by a villain; this usually results in cosmic unbalance, and the proliferation of strange phenomena and malevolent creatures.

	The menu for ''[[Rayman M]]'' shows various parts of the solar system, including a [[Suns\|Sun]], a [[Moons\|Moon]], and two planets. One planet, which is covered in greenish-blue clouds, is presumably the planet on which the Glade of Dreams is located; the other planet appears to be dry and desert-like. The solar system is part of a galaxy throughout which [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and his [[Robo-Pirate]]s are known and feared for having reduced over one hundred peaceful planets to cosmic dust after enslaving their extraterrestrial inhabitants. There are also a great many points in each game in which stars are visible in the sky, and the [[Yellow Lum]]s in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' inform [[Rayman]] that there are other gods which exist on other 'worlds', all of which suggests that [[Rayman]]'s universe may be far more vast than that which is shown in the games.
