"Yun Zhao, are you up?"

"Oh, I'll be up soon."

A familiar voice of his mother came from the door. Shen Yunzhao responded casually while looking around blankly.

White ceiling, light yellow cabinets, light brown welcoming pine curtains...

I picked up my phone and checked the time: Thursday, May 11, 2XX2, 09:15.

Shen Yunzhao let out a long breath. Fortunately, she woke up and was not dreaming.

I don’t know what’s going on during this period, I have nightmares every night.

In her dream, she would be pregnant with her second daughter next month.

Three months later, my father was diagnosed with uremia.

When the policy was liberalized at the end of the year, within just a month or two, an estimated 80% to 90% of the nation's population contracted an infectious disease. Some lost their lives, but many more suffered from the aftereffects. Unfortunately, their family was also infected, and their health has deteriorated ever since.

Starting from January next year, my eldest daughter fell ill once a month and no amount of treatment was effective.

In March of the following year, her brother Shen Yundong suddenly disappeared. After reporting to the police, they were unable to find him and no one knew where he had gone.

Not long after Shen Yundong disappeared, she gave birth to a little girl. Because she was infected during her pregnancy, her little girl's health was not good since she was a child and she was weak and sickly.

In June of the following year, her father suffered a sudden heart attack and died despite rescue efforts.

In July of the following year, her husband Cheng Shaoyuan suffered a huge setback at work.

In December of the next year, her mother fell ill and was hospitalized.

…

In short, in the dream, her family members met with accidents one after another. Some became sick, some died, and some had their careers ruined. It was as if they were cursed. Everyone was extremely unlucky, without exception.

"What am I thinking about? It was just a dream. How could it happen?"

Shen Yunzhao shook her head and forced herself not to think about those trivial things anymore.

Their whole family is doing well, in good health and with harmonious relationships. Although they are not rich, they live a comfortable life.

Dreams are just dreams. If you take them as real, you are a fool!

After changing his clothes, Shen Yunzhao opened the door and walked out.

Zhou Xiuqin was feeding her eldest daughter Yaoyao, who was almost one year old, porridge when she saw Shen Yunzhao come out and asked, "Why are you getting up so late every day these days? I can't wake you up even if I call you."

Shen Yunzhao stepped forward, picked up Yaoyao, and took the bowl from Zhou Xiuqin's hand.

"I don't know why I've been craving sleep lately. I can't seem to get enough sleep."

"Why are your eye circles so dark?" Zhou Xiuqin pointed at Shen Yunzhao's face in surprise. Her daughter's eyes seemed to be stained with ink, her skin was dark, and her complexion was gloomy, as if she had not slept for several days and nights.

"Ah, will it?"

Shen Yunzhao touched the bottom of his eyes and said, “I haven’t slept well these days and I keep having nightmares.”

"What were you dreaming about? Why do you look so pale? Hey, you young people are the same. You don't sleep well at night and play with your phone. If you stay up late, your health will be damaged..."

Shen Yunzhao opened his mouth, but ultimately did not tell what he had dreamed.

She was afraid of scaring her mother.

After Yaoyao finished eating the porridge, Zhou Xiuqin took her out to play. Before leaving, she told Shen Yunzhao, "Go back quickly and take a nap to catch up on your sleep."

Shen Yunzhao lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep at all.

What was still on her mind was the nightmare she had before, although her reason told her that dreams could not predict the future and she should not believe them.

But I had the same dream for two weeks in a row, and I always felt that something bad was going to happen.

She is scared!

Suddenly, she felt a hard, round object on the upper part of her right middle finger.

When I looked down, I saw that it was a silver ring with no patterns on it. It was so ordinary.

Shen Yunzhao's pupils shrank. This ring had appeared in her dream before!

In the dream, due to a series of bad things, she suffered from depression, which was so serious that she needed to see a psychiatrist.

The doctor suggested that she go out for a walk, so Cheng Shaoyuan accompanied her on a trip to Yunnan Province.

During their trip, they met an old lady selling silver jewelry, and a group of people gathered around her to buy.

She also went over to watch the fun, and then she fell in love with this ordinary silver ring with no patterns at first sight, and bought it for 50 yuan.

But wasn't that a dream?

How could this silver ring appear in reality?

Just as Shen Yunzhao was absorbed in his thoughts, his vision suddenly went dark and he felt a sense of weightlessness.

When she opened her eyes again, she was surrounded by tall, ancient trees. The smaller trees were as thick as an adult man's waist, and the larger trees required at least a dozen adults to hug them.

Beneath the ancient trees, there are dead branches, fallen leaves and low shrubs.

The sunlight came in through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

From time to time, the woods can be heard the chirping of insects and birds, or the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, or the roar of unknown wild animals, making the whole forest not too quiet.

Shen Yunzhao got goosebumps.

She doesn't dare stay in such a place!

Just as I was thinking about "going out", my vision went dark again, and soon I found myself still lying in bed.

"Are you dreaming again?"

Shen Yunzhao breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the familiar surroundings. Just as he was wondering why he was dreaming while awake, he saw a green leaf stuck on his pants.

Shen Yunzhao: ...

After about ten minutes, Shen Yunzhao finally figured out that the forest was actually another space.

The silver ring is like a "key". If she wants to enter that space, she only needs to touch the silver ring and silently say "go in".
