Catching Fading Dreams

As Real As A Dream - Yeojin Yeomong

Noun | A state of not knowing if it's a dream or reality.


-

You fall asleep. This will repeat until you die. Sleep is essential for humans.

But dreams?

Dreams...

The word called 'Dream', right?

Strangely enough, dreams have a common meaning in many countries.


1. A series of psychological phenomena that occur while sleeping
2. A hope or ideal that one wants to realize

But let's think about it. When you close your eyes and try to sleep, are the dreams you have all about the hopes you want to realize? A fool who wants to make a dream of being painfully chased by a murderer come true... well, maybe there are such people.


...Anyway.

Do you think dreams are illusions?

I'll tell you a story from an internet urban legend - though it might not be an urban legend - written by a netizen.

One day, the netizen fell asleep as usual and had a dream as usual.

That day, by chance, they had a dream about a disaster, and while running away with people, the netizen suddenly realized. This is a dream again!

So they shouted.

"Everyone, this is a dream!"

Did the people who heard that feel relieved?

No. Absolutely not!

Everyone who heard that glared at the netizen.

"It's a dream only for you!"

Upon hearing that, the netizen woke up from the dream. With a strange sense of displeasure, they went back to living in reality.

Did you notice?

The dreams you have are not illusions.

They truly exist!

Whether they are parallel worlds or not, they exist!


Your expression says you don't believe it. I didn't expect you to.


Well, it's time to sleep again. What kind of dream will you have today?
