Pros and Cons Related to Dreams

Now, he doesn't care about anything else. He just focuses on experiencing the changes after each advanced dream appears, and uploads his methods for awakening these abilities in the dream, as well as the precautions, to the Human Database so that others can have a reference.

Meanwhile, after discovering that he could sleep whenever he wanted and dream whenever he wanted, Yue Yuan began to enter the Starry Sky Dream whenever he went to sleep to carefully experience the dream, in an attempt to discover other possible abilities.

However, the result was not satisfactory; he did not discover any new abilities, nor was his mental state further enhanced.

Several more years passed, and neither Yue Yuan nor anyone else awakened any new abilities in their dreams. Moreover, these abilities—such as sleeping at will, dreaming whenever one wants, and switching between the First-Person Dream Realm and Third-Person Dream Realm at will—are not the privilege of any one person, but rather something that all humans possess. The difference lies in how quickly some people master them, how slowly some master them, how well some master them, and how poorly some master them.

Specifically, for example, the ability to control and Dream Creation scenes in a dream. Some people can create scenes that closely resemble reality, while others may try hard and carefully create some rather absurd scenes.

The same applies to switching between first-person and third-person perspectives. People like Yue Yuan can now switch between perspectives at will, but some people still need a long time to prepare before they can do so.

There is another ability, which is unique to the Third-Person Dream Realm. Yue Yuan discovered and mastered this a long time ago. In third-person mode, as long as he subconsciously tells himself where he wants to 'see', he can clearly see places that are originally very far away in the dream, as well as what is happening in those places.

At that time, Yue Yuan was looking at the scenery by the lake in a dream, and then he focused his attention on the moon in the sky. That was this ability.

However, these are merely abilities from dreams; such fantastical abilities haven't appeared in reality. This is why some people previously said that the abilities gained from the Nationwide Dreaming Event were useless. Of course, this doesn't apply when one is in a state of high energy.

Ordinary people see it this way, but high-level scientists have a completely different perspective on Dreamscape Event. They approach it from the perspective of all Human Civilization, which is what was previously referred to as "cultivating inner strength." This will allow humanity to progress much faster within the same cosmic timeframe.

However, it is not without its drawbacks. After seeing Yue Yuan upload information about his ability to "sleep whenever he wants and dream whenever he wants," many scientists pointed out the drawbacks and dangers of Dreamscape Event.

In particular, they believe that dreaming is a form of fantasy, which could potentially trap humans in a false dream world where they can indulge in things they cannot obtain or achieve in reality, such as indulging in the fantasy of being the Creator.

It is possible for people with a strong ability to Dream Creation, and they can even dream continuously, continuing the dream from where they left off. The downside of this ability is that it may lead to a fascination with false dreams, eventually blurring the distinction between dreams and reality, thus causing social problems for this group of people.

Like Virtual Reality and the Metaverse, it is even more harmful than the two.

People may therefore stop focusing on real life and instead treat dreams as their reality. When a person becomes so engrossed in it that they can no longer distinguish between dreams and reality, that person is ruined.

If this trend were to take hold in human society, it would be a disaster for the entire Human Civilization, and it is not impossible that Human Civilization would fall into depravity.

This is something to be wary of.

Fortunately, as soon as this capability emerged, the New Government's top officials and experts discovered the drawback, giving them enough time to find a solution.

However, completely solving this problem is not easy, because it's not a technology that humans can control. Humans don't even know the reason for their continuous dreaming, nor can they find the scientific principles behind abilities like continuous dreaming, controlling dreams, and switching perspectives within dreams; they only perceive these as passive changes. Therefore, preventing it through technological means is impossible.

Moreover, everyone's dreams are not interconnected. As long as the individual who is dreaming does not want to disclose their dreams, others will not know what kind of scenes they have constructed in their dreams.

In this way, dreams inevitably become everyone's private world. On the bright side, this will become a way for everyone to release their emotions; on the dark side, the blurring of dreams and reality will eventually lead to social problems.

The only consolation is that the short rest and sleep time means people don't have enough time to stay asleep, which may largely prevent them from getting stuck in a blur between reality and dreams.

Yes, after dreaming so many times, humans have discovered that initially, when dreams were still uncontrollable Confused Dream, the passage of time in dreams was quite arbitrary. But after the advent of Lucid Dream, rational Rational Dream where subjective consciousness takes the lead, the passage of time in dreams becomes less arbitrary, and people feel that the passage of time in dreams is almost the same as in reality.

This is a subconscious feeling of the passage of time, and it does not affect the ability to suddenly introduce new things in a dream scene.

This situation, coupled with abundant human energy, allows humans to know to the greatest extent possible that they have a long time in reality, thus minimizing the blurring of dreams and reality.

Scientists believe this was pre-programmed by the Awakeners. They think these magical dreams are likely caused by some kind of technology from the Awakeners, which worked on humans and also on the Awakeners itself. The Awakeners may have previously suffered from the blurring of dreams and reality, so what humans are now enjoying is an improved, complete version of the Awakeners's technology.

From this perspective, the Awakeners is incredibly kind to humanity.

From the very beginning of their encounter with humans, to the care that the Awakener 'Illusion'' showed them, humans sometimes couldn't understand why the Awakeners was so kind to them. Was it simply because "we need partners in the future"? Or was it really as the Awakener 'Illusion'' said, because the Great Voyage was too dangerous, Awakeners needed partners?

But what makes a weak Human Civilization so worthy of such attention from a Level Six Civilization? What is it about humanity that makes it so important to the Awakeners?

While reaping the benefits of the Dreamscape Event, the human leadership couldn't help but ask themselves some questions.
