I dreamt of taking the college entrance exam, and I didn't know anything at all. Work was really frustrating. I went for a stroll around Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, sat on a bench drinking beer and eating skewers, feeling the breeze, looking at the lake, surrounded by blooming tulips.

Journey Through Seasons: A Timeless Train Ride Dream

Journey Through Seasons: A Timeless Train Ride Dream

I was on a train that traveled through different seasons. The window showed spring cherry blossoms, then suddenly golden autumn leaves swept across the glass. The train entered a tunnel of snow-covered trees, everything silent and white. When it emerged, it was summer, and the train was running along a coastline with azure water. An old woman sitting across from me handed me a photograph of this exact train, taken decades ago.

Garden of Mirrored Skies and Childhood Reflections

Garden of Mirrored Skies and Childhood Reflections

I walked into a garden where every flower was a small mirror reflecting a different sky. Some showed sunset, some showed starry nights, some showed aurora. In the center of the garden was a pond that reflected not me, but a version of me as a child, smiling and reaching up.

Falling Into the Abyss and Thrown Out: A Surreal Sphere Journey

I fell from a tall building. Below was an abyss, and the abyss was like a reverse black hole. After I fell in, I was thrown out from another direction, thrown out just like a drop of dye dripping into a glass of water. Then I entered a transparent sphere. As I entered, it felt as though my body were being pressed against a plastic film, my body merging bit by bit into the gas inside.

A Perilous Elevator Ride at the Japan Immigration Bureau and Dusk by the Sea

A Perilous Elevator Ride at the Japan Immigration Bureau and Dusk by the Sea

Because a colleague had once caught a fish, another colleague and I accompanied him to the Japan Immigration Bureau to testify. The staff member there was an older woman with a very pleasant demeanor. After the other colleague (who was a manager) signed the paperwork and handed it to her, she told the fish-catching colleague, 'We will forgive you this time, but you must not catch fish again.' Afterwards, she walked us to the elevator. My colleague and I stepped inside, and the doors closed. I figured it was fine if the two of us went down first, but once the doors shut, the buttons became unresponsive, and the elevator began a relentless descent. We were incredibly tense, but all we could do was stare, terrified of a sudden crash. We seemed to have called the company. They could track our location on their end, viewing a cross-sectional diagram that showed the elevator shaft stretching from the above-ground Immigration Bureau office deep into the earth. The underground portion was immensely long. I watched the little dot representing our elevator descending at a steady pace until it finally came to a halt, and we felt no impact whatsoever. I then began to feel relieved that the elevator wasn't situated right by the ocean, sparing us from flooding. On the right side of the cross-section, the sea was visible, sloping deeper and deeper. However, since it was coastal water, the seabed shown on the diagram did not reach as deep as the bottom of our elevator shaft. The scene then cut to a sandy beach at dusk. My colleague's manager was there, guarding a sandcastle to keep a group of children from destroying it.
