Meeting in the Realm of Dreams

Nights were quiet in the city of Chengdu. I, Lei Wei, a young man in his late twenties, worked as a programmer in a startup company. My life was quite ordinary until dreams began to dominate me. Every night, I saw a faceless girl, yet she possessed a commanding presence. I couldn't forget her, and there was something inside those dreams that made me feel like I had known her for a long time.

One night, my dreams took a different turn. I found myself in a narrow, dark street surrounded by old wooden houses. Suddenly, the faceless girl appeared again. She stood at the end of the street, looking at me—or that's how it felt.

Lei Wei: "Who are you? Why do you appear in my dreams every night?"

My voice echoed in the place, but she didn't answer. Instead, she approached me with slow, measured steps. I felt something strange, a mix of fear and attraction.

Lei Wei: "Do you know me?"

The girl stopped a few steps away from me, her features still obscure. She wore a long white dress, and her long black hair swayed with the night breeze. I felt drawn to her, as if she held a secret I needed to uncover.

I woke suddenly from sleep, sweating. It was a strange feeling overwhelming me. I couldn't get her image out of my head. I thought about her all day, even while working.

The next day, I decided to seek an explanation for these dreams. I headed to an old library in a distant neighborhood, searching for books on dream interpretation. There I met the librarian, an elderly man named Shu Tian. He had extensive knowledge of dreams and myths.

Shu Tian: "Dreams often serve as a gateway to another world. That girl might be a symbol of a past figure, or perhaps a message from the subconscious."

His words didn't provide much help, but I felt I needed to know more. I started visiting the library regularly, reading books on dreams and Chinese myths. Each night, I returned home and immersed myself in deep sleep, hoping to see the girl again.

And one night, I saw her once more. She stood on a wooden bridge connecting the banks of a small river. I approached her slowly.

Lei Wei: "Please, tell me who you are."

This time, the girl lifted her face and looked at me with her dark eyes.

Yu Ling: "My name is Yu Ling. I've been waiting for you."

My heart raced. I didn't know if these dreams were real or imaginary, but I was determined to uncover the truth. Could Yu Ling be the love I had always dreamed of? Could these dreams turn into reality?

I felt that this journey had just begun, and it would take me to places I had never imagined. I had no choice but to follow this path, to its end.
