Watch the newly published trailer for the series and get swept up into the story of Jog Logan and Jerry Banks. With stunning graphics, beautiful music, and an intriguing story, this is one epic trailer!
When Jerry Banks stumbles into the dream-world of Somnium, he's astounded to find a paradise of floating islands and epic lambpowered zeppelins. The only problem? People keep getting Disappeared, because some of the dream's secrets are so dark, the Dreamers will do anything to cover them up.
Jog Logan is a powerful white caped villain… and the man who created the whole breathtaking world of Somnium with just his mind. Backed up by Dreamforge Scientists, Jog wants nothing more than to see his great work to completion. Then no one will need to suffer from the evils of Earth any longer.
The only trouble is, a certain meddlesome Jerry Banks (a pathetic middle schooler with a red jacket) has broken into the dream and is babbling about dangerous things such as war and poverty. And now this mysterious goggle-figure is setting up plots and spreading sensitive information.
Jog Logan must work together with his golden robots and silent scientists in order to preserve his precious paradise, because if he doesn't… he will fail just like Earth has, and his beautiful vision of peace will be ripped apart.
This fantasy series is filled with characters, and each of them are unique and full of personality. Through the course of the adventure, they must learn to work together despite their differences and overcome multiple epic challenges.
Jerry Banks is a wimp. He wants someone to see him as he truly is, but he‘s so ordinary he doesn’t think that will ever be possible…
Amanda Black is a mapmaker from Redleaf. She's trying to find out why her mom disappeared, but she has to be very careful…
Cole lives with a passion. There's nothing this kid likes better than awesome activities, laughing with a friend, or running outside.

Bobby wants to stay in control, and so far he has been. As long as he stays calm and stays popular, everything will be okay.
Travis is a talking sheep: always full of joy as he bounds across the hills of Caelum. With no bad things happening, life's all sunshine!
Jog Logan, known as The Dreamer of the Dreamforge Project, is very polite and kind… but also determined to retain his paradise.
Rydall is a dream-person, but he's seen quite a bit of Caelum during his travels as a sailor. Even some places that aren't so beautiful.
Hans Avery, The Founder of the Dreamforge Project, is a proud yet humble gentleman with wild ambitions to drive him forward.
Silh is one member out of four golden guardian robots which Jog Logan created to help him in his quest for peace.
No one knows who she is, but she's up to something. During her quests around Caelum, she picked up the nickname "The Goggled Mechanic."
In the Explorers of Somnium Newsletter, character spotlights are often shown, revealing tons of information, images, and facts about them and what they bring to the story.
And as a bonus, at the end of every email, you can ask who you'd like to see next. Members of Jerry's team, the DFC, or anyone in between . . . it's your choice!
This is what the series is famous for. From the jubilant wooden village of Redleaf to the windy sands of Solaris, you can be sure to find yourself swept up in the same awe the characters feel as they stumble upon these wonders.
In the Third Level of Somnium (The World Project's Dream World) Jog Logan and many of the other lucid dreamers and executives have worked hard to make Caelum breathtaking, majestic, and awe-inspiring. It's unique in the fact that it's aimed to those who like travel, adventure, and the wild beauty of nature.
Civilizations build on top of the huge range of sky islands here: From the futuristic cities to the west to small wooden cottages. Trade flourishes through the huge airships and ziplines.
Enjoy the wonders the village has to offer: the sprawling wood bridges, epic Annual Sword Tournaments, and bustling marketplaces.
Dalk is a huge, dark city to the west. It has wide glass walkways, huge indoor malls, and enormous cleaner-robots. It's captain and chairman is none other than Lord Huvelon.
The world of Caelum is divided into five main islands. The Central Island is where the big villages and ports are: Trikavose, Owltree, Brekenridge, and others. The South Island, just beneath it, is where Redleaf, Fihose, and the jagged mountains are.
The Eastern Island has enormous forests, with Rhidirion inside them. The West Islands are where the futuristic cities reside: Axus and Dalk. The Northern Island is probably the most uncharted: many people haven't yet explored the vast ruins up there.
Explore the hills of the South: with a backpack and a good stick, you can travel anyway you wish to go, passing tribes of sheep as you walk!
The lands of Fihose are essential for feeding nearly all Caelum. The village carries out huge farming operations, producing tons of surplus every year.
Most zeppelins flying around the world of Caelum are merchant ships, forces of power that travel great distances. You can hitch a ride for ten gold coins!
Trikavose, a darkwood village, generates vast amounts of electricity with its enormous water wheels, some of which is sold to other neighboring villages.
There are legends that 2,000 years ago, a disaster struck, leaving behind enormous stone ruins scattered all across Caelum. No one knows what happened, though.
The Flats are flat sky islands, famous for enormous waterfalls. Zeppelin-cities also float between them: huge balloons that move around, carrying whole villages.
The journey up the Long Road is a massive undertaking, but dedicated traders know they'll get good business with the locals living in the huge trees that stretch thousands of feet tall.
Far to the west are enormous futuristic cities. In Axus, you can find sprawling white streets, incredible architecture, and the famous Swimming World.
Few venture through the Mountains of the South. With its snowy temperatures and enormous cliffs, only the hardy and brave are able to travel through.
The books are going to come out soon, and I'm very excited to present them. Because in every book, the characters dive into unexplored places and wonders scattered around Jog's Dream World that no one has ever seen before.
From Jerry and Travis exploring Redleaf to Bobby and Cole venturing through the Jagged Mountains, you'll see through their eyes these unique locations. The awesomeness of character, world, and story combine in the books that are coming out soon.
