Yep, they count. Anything in Mythology. Its a fun game that I have created because well, we all have our "beliefs" and there are so many creatures that earth says does not exist that might exist somewhere else entirely. The Universe is a lot bigger than just one planet and the planets surrounding that one.
The universe consists of many galaxies, not just the milky way. Therefore, the Renaissance Galaxy, by definition does exist in the universe and although by day I cannot physically travel there, by way of my dreams at night, I can and have been there.
Its just one of those mysterious things that religions would say that there is an "ultimate" God out there that works in ways like this.
