You wake up and find yourself in a strange place. Perhaps an empty field, a strange building, the middle of the street, a large fountain with a bunny statue on it, or even a lake. Wherever it is, it certainly is not where you last fell asleep. And you even got a welcoming gift. It looks like a cellphone. More specifically, it's a Blackberry ripoff Dreamberry that works not only as a phone, but you can also view other people's dreams with them.

Somarium was a panfandom Journal Roleplay hosted on LiveJournal. It eventually fizzled out around 2012.

This game provides examples of:

  • Anachronism Stew: The center of the world is Espoir Village, a rustic quaint village made up of several cottages and the occasional mansions, which is surrounded by modern metropolis Somni. Also had a floating castle until recently.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: Fruits and vegetables became this during Moon Cycle 43. And they attacked people.
  • The Captain: Who but Captain America? Whenever there's a wide scale need for combatants, he's usually the one to step and start organizing.
  • All Just a Dream: Characters who are dropped are said to just "wake up" in their real world as if nothing happened.
  • Name Order Confusion: Defied. Applications and forms require character names to be filled with given name first, family name last.
