The spiritual realms have many levels, all of them inhabited by beings. Some are close to this earth, such as Tir-nan-og; others are too rarefied for us to imagine; many others lie in between. We may travel to such places as night, while sleeping, when we are in what occultists term our "astral body." This is a subtle, spirit body that exists in the same space as our flesh-and-blood body, but during slumber it separates. It remains connected to the body by a silver cord, but is able to travel far, far away from it, in this world or the Otherworld. So we can visit the fairy realms in our dreams.
Many things that we learn about Fairyland, and about the activities of fairies, do not slot neatly together. Partly this is because our view of existence as having to "fit together" is a product of our rationalism. Fairies and Fairyland are notoriously irrational and inconsistent, and yet there are patterns with which we can become familiar, if we put our trust in our instincts and perceptions.
