Wonderland is an imaginary country created by Alice Liddell during her childhood. It is located in Alice's mind and a creation of her vivid imagination. Alice is able to visit it even while in a hypnotic daydream as it is similar to a dream or a lucid dream.
Alice uses Wonderland as a tool for exploring her shattered psyche and as a coping mechanism to deal with her mental health, which is usually known as "escapism." In this sense, Wonderland is Alice's method of catharsis as well as her sanctuary being perverted, and it is up to her to heal Wonderland in order to heal herself.
