“How are you doing? Any progress?” Meng Yi asked.
“Well… if I have to say, I guess there’s been no progress at all… How about you?” Yue Lin replied, a bit disheartened.
“My dreams are more chaotic. Unlike you, I don’t have a fixed scene, making it harder to establish a point of reference, so there hasn’t been any change yet,” Meng Yi responded calmly.
“By the way, it seems you haven’t mentioned which world you want to travel to?” Yue Lin suddenly looked at her with curiosity. “What’s your destination?”
“Oh, I just want to verify that the other side of dreams connects to another world, so it doesn’t really matter where I end up. It’s pretty much the same goal as yours,” Meng Yi shrugged nonchalantly.
“Really? Isn’t that a bit too casual?” Yue Lin couldn’t help but be surprised. “If we accidentally cross over and you don’t end up in a story you like, wouldn’t that be a pity?”
“Besides, I’m not particularly attached to any specific work. I like this one too, and I think having the same goal makes it easier to draw comparisons. If there are issues, we can figure out what needs adjusting more easily.”
“Speaking of issues…” Yue Lin suddenly hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't really know where to start, but I have this strange feeling..." Yue Lin couldn't help but furrow her brow and tilt her head in thought. "To be honest, lately when I dream, I seem to vaguely remember that there's something I need to do, but no matter what, I just can't recall... and then there's nothing after that."
"It feels like you're just one step away from something," Meng Yi calmly analyzed. "Maybe three days is too short; let's try for another two days!"
"Okay!"
"It seems like your progress is indeed faster."
"Hehe, that's the power of love!" Yue Lin proudly lifted her chin.
"Now, regarding the dream journal, I think you should also include descriptions of your feelings and thoughts at the moment. That way, you'll have a more complete clue."
"Uh oh, the things I need to remember are piling up. It feels so troublesome..." Yue Lin suddenly looked deflated.
"Keep pushing through! This is a chance for you to meet your true self in your dreams!" Meng Yi encouraged her with a smile.
"By the way, I just thought of a question," Yue Lin raised her hand like a good student asking a question. "What if I really manage to clench my fist three times in the dream and realize I'm dreaming? What should I do then?"
"Let me think..." Meng Yi lowered her gaze and pondered for a moment. "If you really achieve that, then try to open the nearest door to you."
"Open a door? Why?" Yue Lin couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"First, we need to test whether you can truly move in your dreams by your own will; second, because the door symbolizes a connection between two different spaces," Meng Yi explained. "When a door opens in a dream, it usually reveals something unusual. For example, if you open the door to a room, what lies beyond shouldn't be the home you recognize; if you open the door to a classroom, the hallway outside won't be the typical school corridor. So, what you see after opening the door is worth exploring; it might serve as a basis for our future actions."
"It sounds a bit scary..." Yue Lin couldn't help but shrink her neck.
"If you encounter something terrifying, remember to quickly close the door and tell yourself it's just a dream. You'll be fine once you wake up."
"Yeah... that's true." Yue Lin relaxed and stretched her limbs. "Alright, let's keep working hard!"
