Level 606.1

==Description==
Level 606.1, informally referred to as the 'Desert of Nightmares', is a seemingly infinite desert somewhat resembling its parent level; however, sand dunes are noticeably less common and much more flat. Due to this, one has better overall visibility to distant areas of the level.
The main distinguishing feature of Level 606.1, however, is the level's tendency to cause one to inexplicably faint at random intervals and immediately enter what is assumed to be a continuous phase of REM sleep. The experiences of wanderers who enter this sleep will be heavily modified by mind-influencing anomalies that will be explained later. This usually occurs soon after one enters the level, so it is advised that one tries to escape the level as soon as possible.
When one enters the aforementioned state of unconsciousness, the wanderer in question will experience a liminal space, usually "dreamcore" in theme, that is plentiful in events that will most likely change the course of the dream. These events can range from an entity suddenly appearing and chasing the dreaming wanderer, to the space's attributes abruptly changing, to the space completely collapsing or dissipating, leaving one to fall into a different space entirely.
If one is about to 'die' in their dream, the dreamscape will adapt so that the dreamer's 'death' does not occur; this is presumably to maintain the illusion of the possibility of real-life death caused by an aspect of the dream, when in reality one cannot die from a dream.
While the dreams of Level 606.1 themselves cannot directly kill a wanderer, failing to escape from the dreamscape will eventually lead to the wanderer dying of thirst, hunger, or heatstroke.
These dreams will, if they are not already, become substantially more unsettling and anxiety-inducing as time goes on. Furthermore, one will most likely have to fight to regain consciousness, as it has been proven to be much more difficult to wake up from the anomalous dreams caused by Level 606.1 than regular dreams caused by normal phases of sleep. If one is not woken by an external force, the wanderer is guaranteed to experience a highly intense and anxiety-inducing dream before waking up — that is, if they do wake up.
It has been shown from survivor's accounts that, upon entering one of the anomalous dreams of Level 606.1, one may instantaneously gain awareness of their current mental state, as well as being able to think clearly almost as they would if they were awake. In other cases, this clear state of mind may manifest over time in the dream, leaving wanderers to experience confusion and be more susceptible to the dreamscape's mental effects in the meantime.
One has a decent chance of escaping their dream and waking up in Level 606.1 if they are in the aforementioned state of awareness in their dream. On the other hand, if one has not yet reached this state of awareness, then one will most likely have to wander their liminal dream until they do.
==Entities==
While no entities have been confirmed to exist within Level 606.1, there is one entity that has been heavily evidenced to reside in the level: The Leviathan Worm.
===The Leviathan Worm===
The Leviathan Worm is a mythological entity that is said to reside in Level 606.1. While not being confirmed to exist due to the complete lack of concrete evidence, a handful of wanderers have reported seeing this entity while in the level. However, the Leviathan Worm's existence has been disputed by a substantial amount of individuals, with said individuals claiming that the level's harsh mental hazards are the culprits pertaining to any sightings of the Worm. Despite this, however, the subject of how multiple supposed eyewitnesses had matching descriptions of the Leviathan Worm despite never hearing of other accounts concerning the matter remains, as it is likely more than a coincidence. Due to this, many believe that the Leviathan Worm does, in fact, exist.
According to eyewitness reports, it is a worm so titanically massive that one cannot possibly comprehend it, with estimates suggesting that it is at least as wide as a small house and over ten times as long; eyewitnesses have claimed that it is "too long to measure" when questioned about the entity's length. Like the Death Worms in Level 606, the Leviathan Worm has a circular mouth in place of a 'face' ringed with innumerable sets of sharp teeth, albeit with each tooth being almost as long as a grown man is tall. Moreover, it was also reported that the Leviathan Worm has spikes protruding all over it's body, further distinguishing it from the Death Worms of Level 606.
Despite the obvious mortal threat implied by this entity's existence, most alleged sightings of the Leviathan Worm did not include the otherwise imposing entity attacking the corresponding wanderer, with said wanderers instead reporting the Leviathan Worm surfacing near them, and on one occasion, arcing above them, and completely ignoring them as if they were not there, tunneling back into the sands seconds later. However, one wanderer reported an instance where they spotted the Leviathan Worm quickly approaching them in the distance "with purpose", only for the wanderer to noclip through the ground seconds before the Worm could reach them.
==Colonies & Outposts==
Due to the anomalous nature of Level 606.1 and possibly the existence of the Leviathan Worm, colonies and outposts are unable to be established and most likely never will be.
==Entrances & Exits==
===Entrances===
* Wandering for long enough in Level 606 may lead here.
* Rarely, wandering long enough in Level 671 may take one here.
===Exits===
* Noclipping anywhere in the level before fainting has an extremely rare chance to lead one to Level 399.
* Very rarely, upon escaping the anomalous dreamscape, one may wake up in Level 606.
* Noclipping anywhere in the level will most likely take one to the Middle Waters of Level 722.
