Ruby's Dreamscape (unofficial) was a world within Ruby Rose's mind created by the same Nightmare that resided in Weiss' Dreamscape, thus linking the two together. It appeared in the RWBY: Ice Queendom episodes "Where You Belong" and "My Dream, Your Dream". Weiss Schnee later visited the dream, while Jaune Arc freed Ruby from it.

Description

Ruby's dreamscape was a replica of multiple rooms within Beacon Academy, including the room Shion Zaiden used and Team RWBY's dorm room. The dorm room was covered in the Nightmare's vines, while the classroom simply had more doors.

History

When Ruby, Blake, and Yang tried to confront the Nightmare, Ruby touched the Nightmare's vines and was infected. Following her negative emotions after failing a second time, she was possessed by the Nightmare and the dreamscape was created.

At first she was confused, thinking she had woken up from the dream, and an illusionary Weiss entered the room. Ruby was relieved to see her alright, and Blake and Yang soon entered the room and applauded her. Ruby was confused as more and more people enter the room and grew concerned as Little Weiss and Dreamscape Robots entered the room. They continued to applaud her until they turned into dolls and the room went dark.

Ruby woke up again, this time in the team's dorm room. She saw Weiss, who explained to her that she wasn't at fault for releasing the Little Weiss. She said that she was somewhat jealous of Ruby's free nature and compared her loneliness to hers. Weiss began to leave the room, stating that she had to return back to her dream, and the Nightmare advanced on Ruby. Meanwhile, Jaune tried to get Ruby close to his Nightmare-immune sword and ended up waking her up.

Trivia

• This was the only Dreamscape where Ruby's negative counterpart has not manifested within Ruby. This implies that if Jaune had not thought of a way to save Ruby, she would have been taken over completely.
  • Unlike Jaune and Weiss, who saw their Nightmares as themselves, and Blake, whose Nightmare took the form of her ex-partner Adam, Ruby never met her Nightmare before she could be fully taken over by it.
  • It is also possible that Ruby's Silver Eyes prevented the formation of a negative counterpart, with her disposition as a "smaller, more honest soul."
