Once Upon a Time Universe

The Once Upon a Time Universe, also known as the OUATverse, is featured in ABC's Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. It comprehends all of the worlds, characters, items and locations featured in the shows, books, comics and other canon media. =Worlds= "A real world. How arrogant are you to think yours is the only one? There are infinite more. You have to open your mind. They touch one another, pressing up in a long line of lands, each just as real as the last. All have their own rules. Some have magic, some don't."

- Jefferson to Emma

The Once Upon a Time Universe is divided into many worlds. Some worlds are subsequently divided into realms. Some realms are divided furthermore into kingdoms, countries, or other equivalent territories.

The "Real" World
"Regina can't cast that curse if you're in New York. There's no magic there."

- Neal Cassidy to Henry Mills

Realms of Storytelling
Many worlds and realms are based off real life stories, whether it be from fairy tales, novels, movies, or other media.

"Alternate" Worlds
"When I finished the book, I returned it to the Sorcerer's Mansion, and you know what I found? Hundreds of other books. With the stories I thought I knew, but told differently. Like, you know how there's a French Snow White, and an Italian one. There's endless possibilities."

- Henry to Regina

Just as there may be different versions of a singular story, a singular world may have "parallel" or "alternate" worlds. These alternate worlds may share similar or exact traits, such as people or places.
 * New Fairy Tale Land
 * New Enchanted Forest
 * New Agrabah
 * New Wonderland

Literary Versions of the "Real World"
"The places I go... Well... They're a lot farther apart. I-I travel across realms. Realms of storytelling. [...] This place right here is one of them. It... It exists out of time. Tell me, what year is it? [...] We're not in a time. We're in a realm of story. There are many... Some beautiful, some horrific, and some just plain magical."

- Isaac to Cruella De Vil

Worlds in Between
Some worlds cannot be reached physically. Instead, someone's soul can travel to these worlds while they are asleep, through different ways and because of different factors: "When people fall under a sleeping curse, the soul travels to a Netherworld, where it resides until awoken. Now, this world is between life and death, and it’s very real. However, even when the curse is broken, sometimes, in sleep, the victims find their way back to that world."
 * The Netherworld is divided into different rooms, each meant to be reached through different means. When inflicted with a Sleeping Curse, the soul goes to the Hall of Mirrors. When going back to the Netherworld after the first time, the soul will find itself in the Red Room, located beneath the Hall of Mirrors, regardless of this victim has already been awoken by True Love's kiss.

- Mr. Gold to Henry Mills

"Mr. Gold: Why would Belle want to dream about this place? Gideon: Usually, our dreams pick us, not the other way around."
 * The Dream World is the place where souls go when they dream. It is possible to reach somebody else's Dream World by pouring Sands of Morpheus over someone's sleeping body.

- Gideon and Mr. Gold

The Afterlife
In the Once Upon a Time Universe, there are different worlds where the souls of the deceased go to after their death.

Magical Waters
"If it's the Well of Wonders you need, Wonderland has one of its own. Magical waters flow underneath all of the lands."

- Red Queen to Cyrus
