:''Main article:'' [[Cognitive Realm]]
 
The '''Cognitive Realm''' is the world of thought and perception. 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.{{17swob ref|post|66703|Shadesmar is just a rough translation of "Cognitive Realm" in the language of whoever first found out about it.|date=2013-10-053010}} 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. Investiture, including that within souls, glows visibly within the Cognitive Realm.
 
While time appears to flow normally, space is also warped by perception. 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]].
Little is currently known about the '''Spiritual Realm''', which contains the souls, or essences, of people, objects, and ideas. It is believed by some on Roshar that the Spiritual Realm is a place of absolute truth--where things exist in their pure forms.{{cite}} [[Connection]] plays a very important role in the Spiritual Realm, where space and time have little meaning. {{cite}}
 
Most of the power that makes up the [[Shard]]s exists in the Spiritual Realm.{{qawob ref|1160|47|Most of the bulk of the Shard's energy of being is contained in the Spiritual Realm.|date=Oct 12, 20156304}}
