Glade of Dreams

The Glade of Dreams is an island in Rayman's world in which the events of Rayman 2: The Great Escape takes place. The Glade was created by Polokus, the Spirit of the World, whose power is so great that his slightest dream or desire becomes reality. The Glade is a beautiful location that hosts vast forests and mountainous areas, as well as swamps. This land has no known connection with the valley in which the events of the original Rayman game took place, but it is highly likely that the Glade of Dreams was host to some, if not all, of the events of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, and even Rayman M. There are a few indications that suggest that the Glade of Dreams may be another land perhaps far away from the Rayman 1 locations, but on the same planet.

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.
