The Shadow realm is a reflective dimension that exists alongside real space. Energy in the Shadow realm is influenced by reality and the Shadow realm influences reality. Most of the times when people enter the Shadow realm they become the opposite gender. The existence of the shadow is denied by conservatives.

Many dreams are created by interacting with and entering the Shadow realm. The early Shturmoviks formed their goals through interaction with Shadow entities.

The Shadow realm can be entered by the mind through dreams or DMT states or completely by physically entering, but this is rare.

Every thinking being has an alternate self that is present in the Shadow realm. Most beings have multiple entities of themselves that exist in the Shadow realm that can be different aspects of themselves.

Islands

Every living being has a connection to the Shadow realm with complex and intelligent beings having their own islands in the infinite expanse. Most islands are personal but some are collective and are created through the thoughts and experiences of many people.

One of the collective islands visited by billions of people prior to the revolution was a hill with a large bunker network on top of it. Visitors described a sky of fire and men in pointed hats with AK 30-39s and women fighting their way up the hill. They lacked a regular uniform but wore body armor and some of them wore brightly colored shirts.

Beaches

Beaches are the boundary between the ocean and land. There is a collective beach that is itself an island. When an atheist dies their soul is trapped on the beach until they accept the existence of the realm that they have come to inhabit. Some atheists are so convinced in their faith that they never transition and wander the beach for eternity.

Oceans

The oceans are composed of unconstructed symbolism. Schizophrenia is the result of the soul becoming lost in the ocean. Geeks and people with autism straddle the boundary between the ocean and land and are always in danger of being carried out to sea. The most common psychosis they experience is atheism, in which they reject the existence of their very own experiences. Shturmovik psychologists have successfully cured autism by removing sufferers from the ocean and eliminating behaviors that bring them there. This is no easy task, however.

Shadow Entities

There are entities in the Shadow realm that are amalgamations of the thoughts and emotions of living beings. Most SEs are not bound to any specific island and roam the vastness of the realm. Most islands have their own SEs and every person has their own set of SEs that exist on their island.

Transition entities

One category of entities that come about periodically are transition entities
