Chapter 153: The Depths of the Dream Realm

What does it mean to lose consciousness in a dream?

At least this meant that what could have been a nightmare was over for the time being, but my dream journey didn't end there.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt my surroundings in a trance, and I seemed to have become light, where is this?

When I opened my eyes, what I saw, wow, the surrounding area is so wide, the sky is so blue, this, this is an endless grassland?

I saw a group of cheerful horses galloping past me not far away, they were so strong, so handsome, as if they came out of a painting, where had I been, why did I appear here?

At this moment a tall white steed rushed straight towards me, and I noticed that this horse had a saddle and stirrups on its back, and it was clearly not a wild horse, and compared to the other wild horses around it.

The white horse was noticeably more handsome, and I don't know where I got the courage, so I grabbed it by the back and stepped on the saddle and sat down on it.

To be honest, in my previous life, I was really envious of those TV series and the knights with strong martial arts, who could ride horses and go to the end of the world with a long sword.

It's a pity that those are the things that will appear in dreams, and at this time, riding on this handsome white horse, galloping on this endless prairie, there is really a very special feeling.

It's just that I still lack a sharp sword in my hand, and a well-fitting armor, but now I feel great, the sun on the grassland is fierce, but it doesn't make people feel terrible, and it feels warm and comfortable on my body.

To be honest, I didn't know how to ride a horse, and the white horse seemed to want to take me somewhere, and I just rode on it and let it take me anywhere.

Although the grassland seems to be endless, in fact there is always a boundary, and the sun in the sky, although it is so bright, there is always a time when it will set.

When this handsome white horse led me from sunset to sunset, in addition to the sunset in the sky, there seemed to be some different scenery in the distance, was it a lake, or a mountain?

In the grassland, where the field of vision is extremely wide, even if you see something appear in front of you, it is difficult for you to accurately estimate the true distance of this thing from you.

Sometimes, even if it is a huge mountain range, as long as the distance is far enough, the weather is clear enough, and the visibility is high enough, you may see its outline dozens of kilometers away from the mountain range.

So when that vague shadow appeared in front of my eyes, I was wondering, was it a lake or a mountain?

It is really impossible to distinguish between the lake and the mountain at this distance, and it is only possible to walk a little further, but as the sun sets in the sky, I have no way to go any further, so I want to get off the white horse.

This white horse is also very human, I pulled the reins in my hand twice, it slowly stopped moving forward, and then I flipped off the horse, after all, I had not ridden much before, it was really easy to get on the horse and difficult to get off the horse, and it was difficult to fall on the grass and roll several times before I stabilized myself.

When I stood up again, a familiar figure appeared in front of me.

"Jessica, how did you end up in this place?"

Yes, the person in front of me is indeed Jessica, but the clothes she is wearing at this time are similar to those worn on field adventures, and this dress perfectly shows off her tight body.

plus a long blond hair that is tied up, giving people the feeling of a shrewd and capable strong woman.

"Isn't that what I should ask you? And I'm not called Jessica, please call me Rebecca, okay? ”

"Rebecca? But, but. ”

My words stuck in my throat, when I looked at her eyes carefully, I did feel that there was a slight difference in temperament between her and Jessica, but their faces and bodies were almost identical, could it be that Jessica had a twin sister named Rebecca, why had she never heard her mention this Rebecca?

"I don't care who you are, or who Jessica you call you, since you're here, you're going to follow me, and I still hope you'll be a qualified partner on the rest of the journey."

"Should I follow you? But I don't even know what this place is, I don't know what you're doing, so why do I have to follow you? ”

"Because that's part of the agreement, don't you know it? Or are you pretending to be stupid at this point, do you think I'm going to believe that a guy who doesn't know anything about it happens to be in the agreed position? Even the time is exactly right. ”

"This!"

I was speechless, and although I wanted to refute her words, but when the words came to my lips, I took them back at once, as if even if I refuted and won her, it would not do me any good, I suddenly thought.

At this moment, I didn't know anything about my surroundings, and even though I didn't know what the so-called agreement was in her mouth, there was a person who walked with me.

It's better than walking alone in this endless grassland, not to mention that she looks exactly like Jessica, maybe she really has some connection with Jessica, I can't miss this opportunity to find out her true identity.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but nod slightly, and agreed to her request, temporarily becoming her partner, and continuing with her the so-called journey that was completely unknown to me.

Although Rebecca looks very similar to Jessica in appearance, there are still some subtle differences in posture details and facial expressions, and you can tell the difference between the two of them with a little in-depth understanding.

"Well, if you really want to know, then I'll tell you, I can see that you are indeed not the person I should be looking for, but I think you may be better than him, so I will take you with me, let me tell you, the place we are going to is an extremely dangerous place, but danger is often accompanied by harvest, as long as you follow me, you can also get some great benefits."

I frowned slightly, I really couldn't figure out what Rebecca was talking about, but from the confident expression on her face at this time, I still seemed to be able to sense that she did know something that I didn't know, and I began to take more interest in what she knew.

"Great bonus, I just want to get out of here now, although this place is beautiful, but I can't stay on this savannah all the time, the sun here is so fierce, and there are probably wild beasts roaming everywhere, such as lions and hyenas, I guess this may be on the African savannah, although I don't know why I'm here, but I have to get out of here, to get out of here alive."

"You guessed it wrong, it's not a very big savannah, and there are no lions and hyenas that you fear, to be precise, it's a place you can't understand, and you'd better not know too much, sometimes knowing the truth can make you feel indescribable pain."

"How do I know I can trust you?"

"What did you just call me? Call me Jessica, I guess I must look a lot like the Jessica you said I said, and you seem to have a pretty close relationship with her in your tone, if you can trust her, why don't you think of me as her, don't you trust me in the same way? ”

"How can you be the same as her, at the beginning I thought you did look quite similar to her, but now if you look closely, the difference between you and her is really big, the tone of your voice, movements and expressions are different, and she will not hide so many things from me, and ask me to believe what she says."

Rebecca's words did make a lot of sense, so I ended up closing my mouth and walking closely behind her.

In fact, Rebecca walks quite fast, much faster than Jessica, of course, it is very easy for me to keep up with her walking speed, but from the pace and posture of her walking, I can preliminarily judge that she must be a frequent traveler in the wild, at least Jessica can't do her proficiency.

In fact, don't underestimate this uninhabited prairie, you think there is nothing here, in fact, there is everything here, all kinds of mosquitoes, insects, snakes and ants are quietly staring at you in the dark at any time, and you don't know when you will be attacked by the danger lurking in the dark, surviving in the wild is actually quite a difficult challenge, not at all as some people imagine so easy and pleasant, as if it is just a trip in the wild.

After the sky slowly darkened, Rebecca took out two flashlights, one of which was thrown to me, I found that this kind of flashlight is specially processed, can effectively waterproof, anti-corrosion, fireproof and anti-fall, although it should not be the flashlight used by the military, but it must also be a special flashlight used for field exploration, from this point it can also be seen that Rebecca is a quite professional field explorer.

This made me involuntarily have a little more trust in her words, if she was true, then I would eventually be able to get out of this endless prairie with her, but I still maintain a considerable skeptical attitude about the so-called great benefits in her mouth.

In fact, even if she didn't tell me that following her would bring me this great benefit, I would eventually follow her, after all, just like she analyzed, even the white horse that carried me here has left me, and who else can I trust besides her, but as soon as she tells me, my heart will be filled with some doubts, which are difficult to dispel.

We are moving fast, but in the darkness around us, we have no way to accurately judge how fast we are moving forward, the degree of desolation of this savannah is simply outrageous, even some low shrubs and low trees are not much, all as far as the eye can see is green grass, and the height of these grasses is not high, only gently swaying in the breeze.

But strange to me, when I tried to find the moon above the night sky, I couldn't find it, was the moon obscured by the light of the countless stars?

This is obviously not a case, or maybe it is only a crescent moon today, so the light of the moon is so faint that I cannot find it in the stars for a while, and I convince myself that this is the case.

"You've noticed, too."

Rebecca stopped abruptly and looked up at the stars.

"Notice what?"

"In this starry night sky, there is no trace of the moon."

I heard Rebecca say this, but I didn't respond to her immediately, in fact, I really didn't know what to say, she was so keenly aware of what I was thinking, could she have a special ability, a kind of mind reading, can directly read what I was thinking?

Thinking of this, I can't help but keep a certain distance from Rebecca, although she looks like Jessica, but she is much stronger than Jessica, and it is too scary, I feel very natural and comfortable when I am with Jessica, but when I am with Rebecca, I feel quite nervous, and this tension seems to become more and more obvious.

"Actually, I can tell you exactly why on this point, because there is really no moon in this sky."

Rebecca's words shocked me again, but her expression was so calm and natural, as if she was just telling me about a sparse and ordinary little thing, I couldn't help but take a deep breath when I thought of this, it's normal that there is no moon in the sky here, am I no longer on the earth now?

I really can't think of any other conjecture that would explain this situation other than that.

"Where are we?"

"I know what you're thinking, yes, I can read what you're thinking, but it's definitely not using what you think mind reading, it's really just a psychological technique, I can tell what you're thinking by the subtle changes in your eyes and facial muscles, although it's not always 100% accurate, but it does help me take some initiative in conversations with others."

"This kind of behavior of yours, hey, I don't know what to say, and I don't seem to have the way to accuse you, but I think it seems impolite for you to read other people's thoughts without their consent."

"But I can't help it, just by looking at your faces, I can easily understand what you are thinking, this is an instinct, just like you can see a row of words made up of letters, you can know what the words made up of these letters mean, now I read the thoughts of others is so simple and natural."

Rebecca's answer was immediately dumbfounded, and I couldn't find a reasonable reason to refute her, if she could really read the expressions on other people's faces as proficiently as she could read words, so as to understand what others really thought, it would be terrible, but I really don't believe that she can do this, especially when others know about her ability, and can completely mislead her by deliberately disguising her expressions.

"I know what you're thinking, to be honest, intentional misdirection is actually not very able to interfere with my ability to read my thoughts, because I am more often judged by reading people's subconscious subconscious actions, rather than simply disguising their own expressions, we humans have many small actions and subtleties in the subconscious that cannot be forcibly changed through the conscious mind."

I didn't want to continue the discussion with Rebecca on this issue, so I redirected the conversation to something else.

"Why are you in this place?"

"This place doesn't actually exist, you know? Why is there no moon in this world, because deep in your brain there is such a place without a moon. ”

"What do you mean? Is there any necessary connection between the presence or absence of a moon in this place and the presence or absence of a moon in the depths of my brain? ”

"It's okay if you don't understand all this."

It was at this moment that I suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and my eyes began to darken.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself sitting in the plane seat, and everything I had seen before was a dream, and Jessica was still asleep.

I took a deep breath and asked the flight attendant for a glass of lemon juice to drink, when a large glass of lemon juice was drunk by me in one gulp, I felt that the groggy feeling in my head was slightly better, two weird dreams, plus I drank more alcohol at night, which caused my mind to swell at this time.

The scenes in the dreams are unusually clear, but they are constantly flickering fragments, and when I first wake up, I feel that those images are very real, but the longer I wake up from the dream, the more blurred the memories of the dream become, and after a while I can only recall some of the most representative scenes.

For example, in the first dream, the voice that claimed to be my fear itself and Jessica who turned into Medusa, and in the second dream, I was impressed by the handsome white horse and Rebecca, who looked very similar to Jessica, and Rebecca's magical and strange mind-reading.

I feel that the second dream is not finished, of course, the first dream is not finished, not many of our human dreams can be completely completed, and when we wake up, these dreams will quickly turn into nothingness with the passage of time, as if they never appeared in our brains.
