Third-Person Perspective
After confirming that it was a global event, Yue Yuan's previous worries disappeared. Therefore, at his behest, the relevant departments of the New Government timely offered some explanations regarding the public's concerns about the continuous dreams. They essentially stated that this was highly likely the work of Awakeners, and possibly a process of humanity awakening some kind of ability, ultimately reassuring everyone not to worry.
While providing explanations and guidance, the relevant departments of the New Government also invited some experts to come and analyze dreams in front of the public. Of course, this analysis is not dream interpretation, but rather sharing dream experiences summarized by the public.
For example, how to turn a dream into Lucid Dream, how to control things in Lucid Dream, how to avoid nightmares, how to switch between first-person and Third-Person Perspective, etc.
The recurring dreams have been occurring for some time. The New Government is very efficient; they have collected data on the dream experiences of many people and developed a set of methods. This method, based on experience and big data, has shown promising results after being shared with subsequent dreamers.
Thanks to the various strategies adopted by the New Government, humanity has temporarily weathered this nationwide Dreamscape Event.
Yes, temporarily.
Until the entire Dreamscape Event has a final conclusion and humanity finds the ultimate cause, everything is temporary.
However, to the surprise of the New Government, the Awakeners that all humanity had been hoping for did not appear. As time passed, humanity progressed from a segment of the population experiencing dreams to the entire population experiencing dreams, and then gradually gained control over their dreams, learning how to use their subconscious to switch between the First-Person Dream Realm and Third-Person Dream Realm.
But even though almost all humans had mastered the switching between First-Person Perspective and Third-Person Perspective, the Awakeners still hadn't appeared. It was as if humanity's guess was wrong. There was no sign of the Awakeners in the starry sky, and the voice of the long-awaited Awakener 'Illusion'' did not come from the Lyra.
Is this how Dreamscape Event are supposed to be? Is it just so we can freely switch perspectives within dreams? Is it just so we can avoid nightmares?
What kind of ability is that?
Suddenly, voices of doubt began to emerge among humanity. They were not questioning the New Government's claims, but rather the existence of dreams themselves, because they felt that this ability was utterly useless.
Is it all so that we humans can have Sweet Dream every night, and eventually reach the legendary state of living in a dream?
One by one, the doubts gradually turned into questions, and many speculations about the appearance of the dream also emerged.
Some say this ability to control one's dreams is indeed an awakening of power, but it's not very useful; it's just for improving civilian entertainment, allowing everyone to entertain themselves while they sleep. Others say it might be some kind of subconscious manipulation ability, possibly used for psychological weapons in the future universe, and that the Awakeners helped humanity awaken this ability to care for them.
Some say this is the Awakeners's way of testing humanity. Only when all humans learn to freely switch between First-Person Perspective and Third-Person Perspective in dreams will the passage to this space open. The fact that the passage hasn't appeared means that some humans haven't yet reached this standard.
According to this third explanation, some people have started to condemn those who falsely claimed they could control the switching between two perspectives, and there is a tendency to attribute the absence of the passage to those people.
There seems to be a trend that is getting worse.
Amid this trend, the Dreamscape Event has seen new developments, with Yue Yuan once again being the discoverer.
Yue Yuan discovered that after he was able to switch between first-person and Third-Person Perspective perspectives in his dreams, the scenes he dreamed of became larger and larger. At first, he often saw Small Village, then he would go to a province, then a spaceship. And when he switched to third-person perspective in this situation, the first thing Yue Yuan saw was not himself standing in the Command Center of the warship, but an entire spaceship.
As this scene appeared, the scene in Yue Yuan's dream suddenly became clear, and the whole scene changed from the internal situation of various spaceships and trivial matters on Earth to the starry sky.
A dreamlike scene based on a cluster of human spaceships, set against the backdrop of the entire starry sky.
At this moment, countless stars suddenly appeared in the universe, and the illusion and destruction of stars unfolded. Yue Yuan saw the depth of the distant starry sky, the darkness of the deep starry sky, and the Abyss demons that seemed to be hidden in the Void in the dark starry sky.
Yue Yuan was very familiar with this feeling; it was Deep Space Fear.
Having ventured into space for so many years, Yue Yuan had long since overcome his Deep Space Fear. So, in his dream, his subconscious told him to face the profound starry sky. And indeed, he did just that, focusing his attention on the distant starry sky that seemed like Abyss, on the celestial abyss between the countless stars.
After Yue Yuan faced the profound starry sky, the scene in his dream changed again, a change beyond his control.
His perspective was pulled back to the star system where the human fleet was located. The moment his perspective switched back, Yue Yuan felt as if he were looking down over the entire starry sky and above all the human warships.
"Above? The universe has no up or down!" Seeing this scene, Yue Yuan was puzzled. Then a magical scene appeared. His perspective changed 180 degrees, from "above" the human warship cluster to "below" the warship cluster.
"Hey, the universe doesn't have up and down, but it does have left and right. It would be great if we could see it from all 360 degrees at the same time." Finding that his perspective actually suited his wishes, Yue Yuan had a new idea.
Then, a miraculous scene unfolded once again. He discovered that he could simultaneously "see" the entire cluster of human warships and spaceships from all directions: east, west, south, north, up, down, left, and right.
This perspective was very strange; Yue Yuan had never experienced it before. It felt as if he had many clones distributed around human warships and ship clusters, watching simultaneously, or as if his perspective was connected to a group of cameras filming the same thing.
It was amazing! This perspective was a magical experience I'd never had before, a feeling that defied description. Even in a dream, Yue Yuan was captivated.
However, just as Yue Yuan was immersing himself in the wonderful feeling brought by this perspective, everything he "saw" suddenly turned black, pitch black, and then he knew nothing more.
When Yue Yuan saw things again, he saw a bright light, like the light when he woke up in an operating room, and several worried faces.
"Commander-in-Chief/ Commander Yue, you're finally awake! That's wonderful!"
Just as Yue Yuan was about to see the person's face clearly, he heard a worried voice in his ear.
Finally awake? Where am I? Did I faint?
Yue Yuan didn't rush to speak, but instead carefully assessed his current situation. He roughly understood that he had indeed fainted.
