:''Main article:'' [[Cognitive Realm]]
The '''Cognitive Realm''' is the world of thought and perception.{{msh ref|2|1}} It is also referred to as the subastral, and is known locally on [[Roshar]] as '''[[Shadesmar]]''', though at least some academics of [[Silverlight]] have taken to using the term to refer to the entire Realm.{{wob ref|3010}} The nature and appearance of objects in this Realm are shaped by the views of people and even the objects themselves. The environment itself changes from one world to the next, often exhibiting features characteristic of that world.{{wob ref|11688}} [[Investiture]], including that within souls, glows visibly within the Cognitive Realm.
While time appears to flow normally, space is also warped by perception.{{wob ref|8677}} Some aspect of the nature of the Realm allows one to walk to space, and the distance between worlds is significantly contracted, so that travelling from one world to the next by foot is possible. Indeed, [[Worldhopping|Worldhoppers]] generally make use of this Realm to move between worlds. Travelling between the Physical and the Cognitive Realms may be accomplished at [[Perpendicularity|Perpendicularities]].
