The Viric Jungle
"Here, you are closer to the waking world. The plants grow thickly, and the effect might at first appear natural; but you can see that the stalks are more or less in rows. Someone, sometime, cultivated this ground."[1]
The Viric Jungle is one of the borders of Parabola, where sleepers enter into dreams.
The Very Edge of Parabola
"Some dreamers are merely passing through, towards deeper reveries and nightmares. Some linger here, in self-induced trance, in semi-dream, or caught in the middle consciousness by a well selected toxin."[2]
The Viric Jungle, brightened by the titular color of shallow sleep, is one of the borders of dream and the place where minds of the sleepers enter into Parabola.[3] While most of the dreamers merely pass through The Jungle on their way to other parts of the Is-Not, some of them decide to linger here; particularly those in shallow sleep or other types of half-consciousness.[4]
Thanks to the number of vulnerable dreamers that pass through it, The Viric Jungle is a place of great interest for the Cats, led here by The Viscountess of the Viric Jungle, and the Fingerkings.[5][6]
