Not sure if Oz counts, since it was the ‘Land of Oz’. Its creator, L. Frank Baum, characterized Oz as a real place, unlike MGM’s 1939 musical movie adaptation, which presented it as a dream of lead character Dorothy Gale. According to the Oz books, it is a hidden fairyland cut off from the rest of the world by the Deadly Desert. Same with Middle Earth – it’s a part of ‘Earth’ and says so, right there in the name. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

It’s your topic so if you want to change it that’s fine with me. I was thinking of the movie version of Oz as a ‘dream world’, and would also think of places like Brigadoon, Shangri-La, and Doyle’s _The Lost World_ as fictional ‘worlds’, whether on Earth or not.
