what is fantasia ?

essentially Fantasia is mystical universe that exists through the imaginations of humans like Bastian / reader or constructed to exists as a world which infinite in size within the larger human-created fictional world, Fantastica represents human imagination and survives solely on the dreamers of the world. Michael Ende's description of Fantastica: "Once someone dreams a dream, it can't just drop out of existence. But if the dreamer can't remember it, what becomes of it? It lives on in Fantastica, deep under Earth. There are forgotten dreams stored in many layers. The deeper one digs, the closer they are. All Fantastica rests on a foundation of forgotten dreams."". This reinforces the idea in the novel that Fantastica can only survive through human imagination and dreaming. so if one stops dreaming and imagining, Fantastica would disappear to absolute nonexistence, also theoretical suggestion point to an infinite regress of fictional realities , as stories within stories are created To infinity through the infinite chains of human imagination.
