― Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2)

The power to have a mental world. Mental variation of Inner World.

Also Called

• Consciousness Realm
• Mental World
• Personal Mental Plane
• Psycho Reality

Capabilities

The user possesses a mindscape; a mental world within their very own consciousness, a personal mental plane of existence constructed from the user's thoughts, memories, imagination, and dreams as a materialization that brings the entire mental extension of the user into being as one very surreal dimension-like realm that does not follow the regular laws of physics, completely populated with psychological manifestations.

Mindscapes can adopt multiple layers of the user’s mentality, being an entire reality that is completely based on the user's mind, with each significant place containing memories and others where the user's imagination reigns. Users can have dangerous effects on worlds like this because thoughts and emotions can be real, either as a happy place or negative place depending on the user and what they experience in the real world.

Whether or not users see mindscapes as a fantasyland or another form of personal reality is irrelevant because, either way, such a world is a part of the user, completely. Just as users and their experiences can affect them, mindscapes can also affect the users, being a part of their own psyche, even at the symbolic levels. For example, if something is broken inside but is repaired, the user's mental status is recovered.
