A tilt-shift lens essentially allows you to take horizontal or vertical "slices" of your image and render them sharp, while the remainder of the image retains a dreamlike or blurred effect.
With landscape photography, a tilt shift lens offers an advantage. It gives you greater depth of field without having to stop down the lens to a smaller aperture.
"The advantage of a tilt/shift lens is that the front elements can be tilted to modify the plane of focus from the normal angle, which is perpendicular to the lens, to an angle that’s more or less than 90 degrees to the lens."

I found a photographer, Laurel Schultz, who uses the tilt-shift lens to create this dreamlike or blurred effect.
