How it's used
Dreamland is a poetic or literary way to describe being fast asleep. It is rarely used in casual, direct conversation to describe the act of sleeping itself, but rather to describe the state of being deep in sleep or drifting off. It carries a soft, gentle tone that contrasts with the more clinical or blunt terms for sleeping.
Examples
She was so tired that she entered dreamland as soon as she hit the bed.
You haven't gone to dreamland yet? Go to sleep quickly.
