imaginal realms

Imaginal realms are conceptual or spiritual spaces that exist beyond the physical world, often representing a dimension of imagination, intuition, and inner experience. They are thought to be domains where thoughts, symbols, and archetypes reside—serving as a bridge between conscious awareness and deeper subconscious meanings. These realms are explored in various spiritual, psychological, and creative traditions as sources of insight, inspiration, and transformation. While not empirically measurable, they are meaningful frameworks for understanding the rich landscape of human imagination, dreams, and symbolic thinking, providing a way to access deeper layers of consciousness beyond everyday perception.
