Chapter 24: Dream Exploration
The night in Igwynt, in the apartment building on Nanyang Flower Street.
"Hey, Dorothy, did you have a good time in town today?" In the living room, Greg, who had just finished dinner, leaned on the sofa and said to Dorothy on the other side.
"Well... it feels good. Igwinter is bigger than I thought. Not only our village but even Purple Hill Town can't compare to it. I walked around the downtown area today and will look for opportunities to visit other places later." Dorothy responded to Greg while drinking a cup of hot milk while standing on the balcony. Greg frowned slightly after hearing what Dorothy said.
"The security in the downtown area... isn't very good there, Dorothy. I hope you didn't run into any danger." Greg said with a warning, and Dorothy replied with a smile.
"No, I just did some shopping, played hide-and-seek with the two dogs in the city, and read a book by the river. No problem."
"Playing hide-and-seek with two dogs... and reading a book by the river?" Greg, who was leaning on the sofa, was stunned when he heard Dorothy's words. After thinking for a while, he said with a smile.
"Haha, Dorothy, you are still the same as before, liking animals and reading."
"That's almost it. It's a good habit, isn't it?..." Dorothy said as she put the empty cup in the kitchen to rinse it, then waved to Gregor and said.
"Goodnight Greg, see you tomorrow."
"Well, get some rest Dorothy, I'm going to bed too."
After entering her room, Dorothy immediately turned around, closed the door and locked it. Then she sat down at her desk, took out an old book from her bag and placed it on the desk.
This is exactly the legend, "The Exploration of Dreams".
In the next day, Dorothy had finished reading the entire old book. This book was not much thicker than the previous fragment of "The Deconstruction of the Sacred Body", so she could finish it in an afternoon.
While reading the book, Dorothy paid close attention to her mental changes, fearing that she would be contaminated by the poison she had heard at the meeting. However, she did not feel anything strange until she finished reading.
The so-called poison identification seemed to be non-existent to Dorothy.
'Is it because I have too little knowledge? Or is it that not every book contains information on poison identification? The ones I have read just don't have it? Or maybe...'
Dorothy had countless thoughts about this phenomenon, but since she couldn't verify them for the time being, she stopped thinking about them and turned to think about the more urgent issues at hand.
"First... I studied the "Dream Exploration Record"... The knowledge in it directly gave me 3 points of 'Enlightenment' spirituality and 2 points of 'Shadow' spirituality."
Looking at the old books on the table, Dorothy thought, yes, since the Book of Souls was full, she still could not exchange "The Dream Exploration Chronicles" for knowledge from other worlds, so she extracted and accumulated the spirituality in "The Dream Exploration Chronicles" as before, seeking promotion.
The spirituality extracted from "The Dream Explorations" is the "inspiration" at 3 points and the "shadow" at 2 points.
What does this indicate?
She had known before that all knowledge contained "Revelation", but it would never be more than the title of the biography itself. For example, after Dorothy studied the fragment of "Deconstruction of the Sacred Body", she accumulated 5 points of "Cups" and 2 points of "Revelation".
This is because the title of the fragment of "The Deconstruction of the Sacred Body" is "Cup", and what it wants to talk about is the knowledge of "Cup", so there will be more "Cup", and "Inspiration" is because of the nature of knowledge. As long as you practice the tradition, you will definitely have it no matter what the title is, but the content will also be below the spirituality of the title of that tradition.
And what about this book, Dream Exploration? It actually extracted 3 points of "inspiration" and 2 points of "shadow", with "inspiration" accounting for the majority.
Does this prove that the title of "Dream Exploration" is "Initiation" and "Shadow"...
The "enlightenment" here is also one of the themes, so Dorothy is given an extra spirituality of "enlightenment"...
If we think more deeply, a book describing dreams can have two themes: "enlightenment" and "shadow". Does this mean that people's dreams are closely related to these two spiritualities?
Just like the relationship between flesh and blood and the "cup", Dorothy speculated that dreams have the dual attributes of "inspiration" and "shadow". After all... everything has spirituality, even dreams are no exception...
Shaking her head, Dorothy stopped thinking about such profound questions about the nature of the world and turned to the problem at hand.
Now she has accumulated 5 points of "Initiate", 5 points of "Cup", and 2 points of "Shadow" three kinds of spirituality. From her subsequent inquiries to the system, she knows that the upper limit of her accumulation of all spirituality is now 10 points.
In other words, as long as she accumulates 5 more points of "Qi" and saves 10 points, she will be qualified to be promoted to an extraordinary person on the path of "Qi". Although she doesn't know what the specific ceremony is now, at least she has a goal. She just needs to work towards this goal first. She can find the ceremony slowly.
After the promotion, her Soul Book can also be expanded, and she can redeem more knowledge from other worlds.
Although... Dorothy actually has quite a lot of "cups" on her now, she can accumulate more on top to meet the conditions for promotion to "thirsty", and the ritual is very clear and the Holy Communion knows it, so she just needs to find a way to get it from them. In a sense, it is obviously more convenient for Dorothy to be promoted to a "cup" Beyonder now, but the "cup" really does not meet her aesthetic taste, so she decisively refuses.
"Huh... Let's not think about it for now. It's time to get down to business for the evening."
Dorothy took a deep breath, cleared her mind, and then began to prepare for the evening.
Knowledge is not only learned to accumulate spirituality, but also to be put into practice. She has finished reading "Dream Explorations" and now it's time to try to enter a dream.
The book "Dream Explorations" bought from Dorothy Grayhill is a fairy tale and fable carrier. It records some fairy tales, all of which are related to dreams.
The most typical one is a story called The Thief and the Miser.
The story tells of a thief who, in his dream, used a spell to transform himself into a bird, flew into the dream of a miser, and stole the secret of the miser's buried treasure. Finally, the thief found the treasure trove in reality and dug up the miser's treasure, but he was not satisfied and continued to steal the miser's wealth secret again and again. Finally, he was discovered by the miser in his dream. The miser used another spell in his dream to transform himself into an eagle and ate the bird that the thief had transformed into.
In addition to this story, there are other stories in this book, but they all have one thing in common: the characters in the stories use spells to transform into various animals in their dreams and accomplish various things.
If the whole book is just stories like this, it will inevitably be difficult to understand. But fortunately, in addition to the stories, this book also has annotations.
Before her, someone else had studied the book and left various annotations on it to explain its contents.
As she was thinking, Dorothy opened "The Detectives of Alzheimer's" and turned to the page about the thief and the miser. In the empty space of that page, there were a lot of comments written on it.
Dorothy looked at the longest section.
…
"So... it's easy to wake up and fall asleep. You just need to follow the few tricks I summarized before, but entering the dream world requires special operations.
"You can see that the characters in the story used spells to transform into animals in the dream. This is actually a metaphor for the method of entering the dream world. Let me go straight to the conclusion. The spiritual body of a mortal cannot enter the dream world directly! Therefore, we have to use the form of mimicry to transform part of our soul into the animals in the dream world in order to enter. This is why the characters in the story always transform into various animals.
"Those spells are mimicry spells. Chant them in a lucid dream, and then you mimic the dream world's animals. You can immediately see the gate to the dream world, enter, and then travel the dream world in the form of an animal. Different spells can mimic different animals.
"Remember! Although the spells of mimicry are the ones spoken by the characters in the book, they will not be effective if recited in ordinary common language. They need to be recited in the language of mysticism, such as Elvish... Ghost Language... Abyssal Language... Especially those key words. Different languages will lead to different effects of the mimicry spell.
“Therefore, the language must be chosen carefully!”
