The White Room

✦What happens there

Often, nothing — and that is the report: travelers wait, look for exits, and return. Nexus threads describe being 'in the White Room and can't look around.' Other accounts describe a single entity arriving into the blankness, the whiteness resolving into the next space, or the room functioning as a reset/quarantine between scenes. Some reporters treat reaching it repeatedly as a plateau to be passed; others as a place of pure potential before form.

✦Description

A featureless white space with sourceless, shadowless illumination — reporters on DMT-Nexus describe 'a white room with a sensed ceiling but seemingly infinite length and width.' There is floor enough to stand on and light enough to see by, but nothing to see: no seams, no furniture, no horizon. It overlaps the Waiting Room (the Hyperspace Lexicon lists 'white room' as one of its guises) but is distinguished in reports by its emptiness — where the Waiting Room implies an appointment, the White Room often simply holds the visitor. Mood reports split between serenity, laboratory-like neutrality, and the frustration of being 'stuck.'

✦What the sources say

'White room' threads (First Steps in Hyperspace): sensed ceiling, seemingly infinite extent; Lexicon lists white room as a Waiting Room guise.

'THE WHITE ROOM' thread: the white space reported beyond the fractal/energy phase.
