Olórë Mallë

The Path of Dreams – a mysterious road which was believed to have run by devious routes to the homes of Men and which used to lead the children of Men from the Great Lands to The Cottage of Lost Play.

In the LostTales Eriol, during his sojourn on TolEressëa, was told that it was built at the bidding of Manwe. So, the Valar Oromë and Lórien devised strange paths from the Great Lands to Valinor and the way of Lórien's devising was Olórë Mallë, the Path of Dreams; by this road, when "Men were yet but new-wakened on the earth", "the children of the fathers of the fathers of Men" came to Valinor in their sleep.

“It was a lane of deep banks and great overhanging hedges, beyond which stood many tall trees wherein a perpetual whisper seemed to live; but not seldom great glow-worms crept about its grassy borders.”
