Root Explanation

Dreamworld → It is formed from "dream" (from Old English *drēam*, meaning a vision or series of thoughts during sleep) and "world" (from Old English *weorold*, meaning the earth or realm of human existence). The word "dreamworld" refers to a realm or state of existence that is characterized by dreams or dream-like experiences.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'vision' ('dream') that exists in a 'realm' ('world') — that's why a dreamworld is a place filled with dreams.
