Verification, How to Use Dreams

Sponsored Content

.

“Welcome… Oh?”

　When we rang the doorbell of the coffee shop and we entered the shop, Suzu-nee raised her voice with a surprised voice and laugh.

“Hoho, you didn’t come alone as promised, ladykiller.”

　She seemed to be teasingly happy that I’m here with Amane, but I’d rather she didn’t dig too deep in front of her…

“What are you talking about?”
“N-No, don’t worry about it…”

　I can only say this to my childhood friend who tilts her head behind me.
　Then we sat down at the corner of the store, where I had always been seated and where I felt comfortable.
　However, Amane, who follow to sat, was seated next to me instead of across from me.
　I unintentionally felt Amane’s body heat right next to me, and it was kind of an uneasy atmosphere, but… there was a reason.

“Then, Yumeji-kun, let’s find out more about” Dream Book “.”
“O~ K~”

　Both Amane and I knew that the dream book was a fun game that allowed us “to see the dreams we wanted to see”, but we were curious about the power of this book and how it could be used to “utilize” other dreams.

　In the first place, unless “I” open the book, unless I am touching it, the words will not appear and she will not be able to read it.
　In other words, it can only be used by me at the moment.
　I was a little creeped out by this occult phenomenon, but Amane said, “That means this book can only be used by you, and you’ve been chosen by the book!” She said it in a positive way.
　Well, if you put it that way, there is no real harm in this book so far.
　Except for the fact that my erotic fantasies (dreams) were conveyed to me in a very vile manner.

　That’s why after school I googled on my phone to try to understand and possibly use some of the content in the “Dream Book”.
　Yes, this is so that Amane, who can’t read a book without me touching it, can see it, just like I ask my neighbor to show me the textbook when I forget it at school.

　…… So, Suzu-nee, please don’t look at me like that from behind the counter like “Arara“!? It’ll make me even more conscious!!
　In contrast to me, Amane peers at the book with her face close to mine like it’s natural.
　I’m aware that I’ve been overly conscious of Amane since I had my selfish dream…

“Un, if you’re the one who is turning it up, I can read it well… What what? How to manipulate dreams, Beginner… Lucid Dream……… Oh, there is.”

　Amane searched and immediately found the word for that dream “lucid dream”.

“Meiseki Yume/Lucid Dreaming, a dream that allows you to manipulate your dreams by “being self-aware” in your dreams… It’s kind of strange, but it’s a scientifically proven dream that really exists.”

　That’s what I thought, too.

　Dream book is an occult thing, but I honestly didn’t think it was a scientifically proven name at first either.

“Has it been scientifically proven?”
“Un… E~tto, it’s like some people can actually have lucid dreams… but it seems that a lot of training is needed before they can see it… Look.”
“… Ue ~”

　When I saw the details of the training for lucid dreaming that Amane showed me, I frowned.
　When trying to lucid dream by training, it seems to be important to be aware of “I want to dream this dream” quite every day.
One of the most popular is to keep a dream diary… I heard.

“Isn’t it possible to be too conscious and not be able to sleep?”
“Yes… It seems that many people actually try to do it, but can’t sleep and get bored and stop.”

　Right… If it required me to keep a diary every day, always keeping my dreams in mind~, I’m confident I’d stop in a day.

“And yet, this book is great because you don’t need any such training to have the dreams you want to have.”

　Easily see the dreams you want to see, without training… It’s true that yesterday’s hero’s dream could be easily seen by using Amane’s DVD, but it’s not as easy as it sounds to be sure.
　Because “that dream” that I ended up being hooked on was caused by a book that I originally chose with the intention of dreaming about a “school romantic comedy”.
　I don’t know why I had such a dream, but the only things I have in common with her are “childhood friends,” “romantic comedy,” and “only one choice heroine”.

　…… That book instinctively chose the dream I wanted to have… like that?

　If that’s the case, the book had a will of its own, like a manga, and like a sommelier, or even a librarian, it provided me with the best story… Is that what it means?
　As I was thinking about this, Amane pinched my cheek from the side.

“Ow ow ow ow ow!? W-What is it!?”
“… Have you been thinking about something dirty again? The way you’ve been thinking lately, there’s a high probability that you’ve been thinking about “that”?”

　It was obvious from Amane’s dissatisfied blushing attitude that she was referring to the dream.
　Eh!? How do you know!? Was it really that obvious on my face!?

“D-D-Don’t be absurd.
There was no way I was going to remember the days of the week from a lucid dream…”
“… I didn’t say anything about “that dream” yet, did I?”
“…………Ah”

　Is this what they called to let the cat out of the bag… Shit, it was a trap!?
　I get my face pinched by Amane, who turns bright red and squeezes me from the front with both hands… To be clear, the quiet anger of the beautiful girl was terrifying.

“Listen… That was just a dream.
It definitely doesn’t count… Don’t get the wrong idea… O~K~?”
“O, Ok, Ok…”

　After such an exchange, we proceeded to read the “Dream Book”, examining its contents.
　However, in the process of doing so, I came to understand that the general “types of dreams” in the world and what this book shows are slightly different in concept.

“Shared dream… To dream the same dreams as others.
There’s a lot of talk about “mass hypnosis” and “omens for the chosen people”, Most of the time, “it’s just a coincidence that people with the same information had similar dreams”.
“I’m sure you’re right.
Because if it’s true, dreams aren’t meant to be had together.”

　As the saying goes, sleep dreams should only be a phenomenon seen by each individual.
　That’s why “Let others share your dreams” of the “Dream Book” is still unscientific, isn’t it… what the heck is this book?

“We’re going to join together tonight, you know.
Don’t go to sleep first, okay?”
“I~ know!”

　Apparently, the daytime argument was still fresh in her mind, and Amane had decided that today would be “a dream of a giant robot battle”.
　I’d like to push the idea of coordinated attacks with Real robots, but I can’t stop there…

 

 

“Premonition dream… I know this without having to look it up.
It’s like what you see in your dreams comes true.”
“Masayume, is that how it called?” (TL: The dream that comes true)
“It’s like what you see in your dreams actually happens, and it’s usually true, whether it’s good or bad… but the content of this one’s a little more disturbing.”
“You’re… right”

“Premonition Dream” It is triggered when a life-threatening danger approaches the user or someone close to the user.　
　I was helped once, but I don’t want to have this dream if possible…

“Past Dream, dreaming about things that happened a long time ago… Someone tends to see when things aren’t going well in reality… It’s meant to be an escape from reality… Hmm?”
“Amane, isn’t that the content of dream fortune-telling?”
“Un, it seems like… If you search on the internet, it’s easy to find dream content like that.”

　If you’re dreaming about “your past self”, then you’re certainly escaping reality a bit.
　In fact, I’ve had many dreams of Amane and we playing together as children.
　But the “past dreams” that this book shows are a little intriguing.

“Past Dream” allows the user to go back to the past in the same place as a dream.
　　　　　　However, the person who is obsessed with the past is unable to move from the spot.
　To put it simply, isn’t this a “psychometry” thing, is it!?

“Previous Life Dream… A dream about the memories of your previous life.
Seeing someone else’s memories as if they were your own, which you have never experienced at all…huh?”

　In the past, there have been cases where someone much younger than you knew something that only your parents knew.

　But a previous life…
　If Amane and I had a previous life, would we have ever met?
　If that story that two of us summoned to another world were a previous life…

“… What’s wrong? Staring at me”
“No… Nothing”

“Previous Life Dream” Tracing memories from previous lives to influence abilities in this life.
　　　　　　In some cases, certain attributes may be inherited.

　We had been going along smoothly, but when we came to a particular point, Amane’s hand, which had been scrolling smoothly on her phone until now, stopped.
　Well, I have to admit that I don’t know why her hand stopped.
The next thing on the dream list is…

“Nightmare…? It certainly doesn’t look very interesting.”
“Hmm~~~~ Well… Right…”

　With a subtle look, Amane agreed.
　Bad Dream, Unpleasant Dream, it’s a word that’s often quoted in real life when something bad happens.
　Still, with a certain sense of obligation, Amane tried to search for nightmares on her phone.

“Nightmares are a dream with terrifying content that threatens your life and dignity.
They are so vivid that you can wake up with fear and can clearly remember the contents of your dreams…?”

“However, nightmares are not always bad, and they can also serve as a warning by showing you what you are worried about first.
For example, “I dream that I am late” or “I dream that I forget something and get scolded”.”

　…… I see, if you put it that way, it’s true.
　If you think of it as a bad prediction that it’s showing us because we’re worried about it, then I guess I could say that nightmares play an important role.

“That’s a pretty positive way of looking at it~.
I don’t dislike this way of thinking,……… What’s wrong, Amane?”

　While I was admiring the search results, Amane was looking at her phone with a strange expression on her face.

“… Eh? Ah, it’s nothing.
You know, down here in the nightmares, there’s a thing called ‘vivid recollection of dream content’? Does this mean that if I don’t remember it, it’s not a nightmare?”
“If you interpret it that way, I suppose you’re right…”
“That’s right… U~~~~~n…”
“What’s wrong?”

　Amane starts to groan as if she’s not convinced of this idea, but when I ask her a question, she opens her mouth anxiously.

“Yumeji-kun, when did you start lucid dreaming with this book?”
“Uu, E~tto… that’s about ten days ago, I think?”

　I was at a loss for words when I was suddenly asked this question, but then I thought back and realized that I had been trying to experience various movies, games, and manga until I had a bad dream and had to have another “that dream” every day.
　I guess that’s about the number of days when you put it all together.

“That dream you had the first night, was it about an American comic book hero?”
“…Yes, but could it be from that day?”

　It’s true that the dream I chose the first night after I got the book in the coffee shop was a movie about a famous American comic book hero.
　In other words, the dream I was having was a shared dream from the beginning, and my neighbor Amane found out about it.

　…… I’m glad I didn’t choose a strange story… I think so from the bottom of my heart.
　I don’t think there are many things more screwed up than that dream…

“In that dream, I was just a regular girl being rescued by a hero.
And you know what? Before you got me involved in the shared dream, there was a dream I was having.”

　After saying that and a brief laugh, Amane’s face turned serious.

“Could it possibly be… a nightmare?”
“I don’t know if it’s because of you, but I haven’t seen it for maybe 10 days… I think.
Not sure if it’s a nightmare or not, since the internet search says it’s a nightmare if it can be remembered.”
“That’s a very slurred statement.”
“When I wake up every morning, I only know that I had “an unpleasant dream”, but I can’t remember what it was about.
Even though I know it was something really scary dream…”

　Amane’s face was dim, and she was clearly frightened.
　It’s not unusual to forget your dreams, in fact, it’s more special when you can remember them.
　In fact, according to a doctor who knows a lot about dreams, “Humans go through shallow sleep and deep sleep, and dreams are seen in shallow sleep ‘REM sleep'”, they say that people dream repeatedly in a single sleep.
　In short, the only time you can seem to remember is at dawn, during your last REM sleep, and even then you don’t remember much, or something like that…

“It seems like it’s no strange thing to forget your dreams, maybe you had something bad happen to you back then?
Bad dreams seem to occur when you’re under a lot of stress… “

　When I said that randomly to end the topic, Amane’s eyes suddenly widened.

“Yes! There is that too! Will you listen to me for a second!?”
“O, Oh”

　I was surprised by Amane’s enthusiasm as if she was awakened, but I was even more surprised by her gunshot talk that started there.
　I knew that Amane was basically a mediator in the class who got along well with both boys and girls, but that seemed to cause a lot of stress in her personal relationships.
　Once it erupts, well, it erupts… Especially recently, I heard that she was always calm and read the air and went along with the conversation, but the rumor of “she is rumored with the playboy” that started on its own accelerated Amane’s heartache.
　As expected of Kagura and Kamui, her best friends’ information is truly accurate.

“And that guy has a girlfriend in every other class.
On top of that, he is always appealing about himself, I’m popular with women, and then he’ll make the “I’ll make you my woman” pose… It’s so annoying! If I give friendly smile at him, he’ll get carried away, and if I don’t listen to him, he’ll persistently appeal!”
“That’s~ definitely annoying.”

　He’s a narcissist on top of being an egotist… In a way, it’s so thorough that it’s even worse than Chuunibyou.
　I know it’s not a good feeling, but I’m very happy that Amane is venting her frustrations on him.
　It proves that he has no more connection than the rumors, and more importantly, Amane would never leak such a complaint to anyone in the class except her best friends.
　Even though we’re childhood friends, I’m very happy that she’s showing her true personality to me, as I finally got to talk to her again the other day.

“But… You’ve always read the air and been patient, but today, it seems like you rejected him pretty badly… Is that okay?”

　When I said that, Amane groaned ‘Uu’ and her eyes swam.
It seems she had forgotten.
　But after some thought, Amane took a sip of her coffee.

“It’s fine, I had to make a break for it at some point, and robot talk was more important to me than self-talk based on bad words.”

　I don’t think Amane was lying when she said that with a grin on her face.
　However, the reason why Amane’s rejection at that time came out unintentionally was “insult to me.”
　Which means, a little conceitedly, Amane was mad for me…
　My childhood friend took a bite of the shortcake that Suzu-nee gave as a service and put on a superb smile, a complete change from her earlier bad mood.

“Hmm ~~~~ It’s delicious.
After all, the cake at onee-chan’s shop is the best ~”
“You can have mine if you want?”

　I also offered Mont Blanc to Amane that I got from the same service.
　It’s not that I don’t like sweets, but it’s not that I absolutely have to eat them.
　But more importantly, if I can see the beautiful smile that Amane just showed me………….
　However, Amane’s face lit up for a moment, but she gritted her teeth and shook her head.

“No, it’s no good, I can’t have more than one piece of cake a day… Any more than that is dangerous.
It’s dangerous, you know.”

　Limiting sweets… She was more active than the guys, but what can I say, Amane is a proper girl too~.

　When I talk to her after a long time, I can’t help but think about the casual changes or growth, and how there are differences even in the past few years when we were estranged.

“You don’t have to worry about it? It’s still early in the day, and usually Amane is not…”
“No! Don’t say it anymore! It’s the sweet words of the devil that have been seducing girls since ancient times.
Many girls have been defeated by those words.”
“Defeated…”
“It’s still okay time.
You’re not fat at all.
Another one is okay… The moment I allow even one of these things to happen, the lid on hell open…”

　I couldn’t say a word to Amane, who was so serious that flames were rising from her eyes.
　U~mu, I wonder if girls of her age are going down the discipline road* or something? (TL: Sorry, I don’t really understand about this.
修羅道/ Shuradou.
I don’t know about Buddha or Asura path.)

　But with a difficult look on her face, she huffed and turned to the beginning of the “Dream Book”, to the Lucid Dreaming page.

“Even in a lucid dream, it is difficult to fully recreate the actual sensations, pain and other senses, without actual experience and complete information… isn’t it?”

　The requirements for lucid dreaming are quite a lot and complicated.
　Obviously, there is no one who can crush a rock with a single punch in real life like the heroes in movies and manga, and there is no one who has the experience of repelling a bullet in the flesh.
　Even if you had the power to shatter it, your body would not be able to withstand it and you would be seriously injured, not to mention in pain.
　Even when I was playing a hero in a lucid dream, the feeling was really vague.
　When I tried to ask her what was wrong, Amane smiled a really nice smile and leaned closer to my face.

“Ne~e, Yumeji-kun, can you open your mouth for a second?”
“Eh, Ah? Aa~~”

　Surprised by her sudden action, I reflexively opened my mouth… without any thought…

“Un… Here!”

　Chomp… Then, suddenly, the sourness of the strawberries and the gentle sweetness of the fresh cream filled my mouth.
　It took me a few seconds to understand what had happened and what had been done.
　And the moment understanding comes, the blood rushes back! It’s boiling!!
　My face, my whole body temperature rises rapidly!!

“U, Ue? Fwh~a, Fwhaa aa ou!?” (TL: What are you)

　It was a bizarre phenomenon that I thought was an ancient urban legend, and even if it did exist, I thought it was completely out of my reach.
　An Ah~n from a girl, indirect kiss…!?

　I was so flustered and confused by the sudden big event but Amane looked as if nothing was wrong and laughed, “Fufufu”.

“Yo~shi, now you remember the taste of this shortcake, right?”
“… Y-Yesh​​??”
“With this… My ambitions can be fulfilled… Kukuku…”

　I’m still trying to understand, and Amane laughs, crossing her hands with an evil look on her face that she clearly made up.
　Amane’s plan is this… When I use that “Dream Book” for lucid dreaming, if I remember the information, i.e.
the exact taste of the shortcake, she can eat as much shortcake as she wants in the dream.
That’s what she thought.
　In other words, it’s like saying, “If I am in a dream, I can eat as much cake as I want and not get fat”.

“It’s the everlasting dream of every girl! I’m not sure how many times I’ve shed tears of blood over a girl who said, “No matter how much I eat, I can’t get fat~~”… That’s… Fufufu, how wonderful!”

　Even if you’ve got eyes that sparkle like in a girl’s manga and you’re trying to convince me of such things.
　My head’s full of what you just did to me… I don’t think I can remember the exact taste of the cake…

“Obviously, it has a different “sweetness” than shortcake, though.”

.

　By the way, the dream I had that night turned out to be something I don’t understand: “Eating a whole shortcake with two people inside a fighting giant robot”.
　…… Does that mean it’s not a good idea to stuff everything in?
