Memories of Dreams was a Homestead region design by Yxes (Yxes Evergreen) I visited back in 2024, prior to visiting her follow-up design, Memories of Spring in 2025. I very much enjoyed exploring both, as I did with Yxes Morrigan’s Roadhouse. So when I saw Yxes had opened Memories of Dreams Resurrected, I had to hop over and have a look.
You wake up from a beautiful dream, sure that you’ll remember it this time. But it immediately begins to slip away, leaving just a wisp of a memory. Or was it only a dream….?
– Memories of Dreams Resurrected About Land description
For this iteration of the region, Yxes has chosen a rugged island setting surrounded by hills rich in woodlands and which don’t quite reach the setting, leaving it sitting within the waters of a lake. Rising dramatically from these waters, the island resembles the shape of a boot when seen from overhead, its cliffs and the steps of its sloping spine are heavy in waterfalls on their south and west faces.
These waterfalls drop into a rocky bay given further shape by a raised boardwalk running along its southern and west sides, but which entirely divorced from the Landing Point in terms of reaching it on foot.
The Landing Point sits on the deck of a wooden shack – Cory Edo’s Piper Hideaway – snuggled between the uppermost reaches of the island and raised above a small body of calm water to one side and some of the tumbling falls to another whilst looking out over the waters of the bay. A rope slide connects this deck with the boardwalk below to provide a route from one to the other.
The boardwalk offers the most practical means of getting around the island, connecting as it does with several other structures awaiting visitors. Sitting at the eastern end of the island is a somewhat run-down hut sitting alongside a decrepit timber wharf.
Together with the broad-based cypress tress rising from the water, they give the impression of swampland without the vines and water carpeting often associated with such places. A large mast spotted with microwave antennae points to the sky close by the hut, but doesn’t appear to be directly connected with it.
To reach the hut and mast, the boardwalk rises over a southern headland by way of a wide deck with the walkway splitting; one arm descends the headland to reach the hut, the other descending to reach a rather tired-looking deck and roughly-built coffee house.
Off to the west, the boardwalk swings inland to climb up between waterfalls to reach another shack, this with its wooden walls mostly covered by white adobe, its furnishings as cosy as those found within the cabin at the Landing Point. Behind the adobe-clad shack, someone has taken the time to create a little rocky retreat complete with a comfortable pool.
Watched over by a mix of cats and birds, and the cypress trees mixing easily with cork, maple and banana trees, the entire setting has a sub-tropical feel to it and is well-suited to a range of EEP settings (I used one of my own in the photos seen here). It is also, obviously, perfectly suited to photography, the various places to sit scattered around it inviting visitors to stay and enjoy the ambience.
