Glade of Dreams

Map of the Glade of Dreams

The Glade of Dreams, also known as the Crossroads of Dreams, is an island in Rayman's world in which the events of Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc take place. The locations in Rayman M are similar to those in Rayman 2, and as such are also likely to be part of the Glade. The Glade was created by Polokus, the Spirit of the World, whose power is so great that his slightest dream or desire becomes reality. Surrounded by the Sea of Lums, the Glade is a beautiful location that hosts vast forests and mountainous areas, as well as swamps, rivers, valleys and cliffs. It is currently unknown whether the valley in which the events of the original Rayman game took place is part of the Glade of Dreams, or if the valley exists in another part of the world, perhaps far away from the Glade.

The Glade is home to a variety of creatures, which come in two types - the Magical Beings, which bear an array of magical powers; and the people, which are not magical at all but still keep peace, order and comic relief to the land. Unlike the people from the previous game, all of which were limbless, these people have at least two limbs. There are also the Lums, which the island depends on to keep balanced as they are the sources of life and energy. Rayman is the only being in this land who was not created by Polokus, but is also the only one who can receive powers from the Fairies.
