Part 8. The Sleepwalker 's ability to create dreams.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYnmCL7XNG
Wisdom caterpillar spat out tiny figurines and waved its hands, conjuring various special effects as if casting magic. "Sleepwalkers, also known as Dream Travelers, need to have the courage to defy conventional wisdom and possess boundless imagination. Once you activate the 'DREAM' within your hearts, you can use dream devices to unleash your power of creation."

"Um, okay, I totally don't understand, haha!" Toosb scratched his head awkwardly.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY96Gq3zcF
Amisa asked, "What does 'DREAM' mean?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIf4YaqrcF
"'DREAM' is the awakened dream power, which is the imagination of a Sleepwalker," the wisdom caterpillar explained.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyFcaheNpe
Jasky took out his personal notebook. "I see. So, the Eye-See-Heart Key from the First Dust is about stimulating imagination?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi85mpYgMoO
"Yes, Jasky. The dream power that each dream spirit possesses allows them to perform specific actions. But the power of a Sleepwalker can connect anything imaginable and create things out of thin air. Powerful Sleepwalkers can do anything in the dream realm."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMlo7QI5fy
"Oh! It's like being a god of creation!" Toosb said excitedly.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeSgXeqIcw
"That's right, Toosb. As long as you abide by the rules of the Dream Caverns, you're free to explore your imagination," the wisdom caterpillar confirmed.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA4BBPmtKt
"Do we also need to follow rules when creating dreams?" Jasky furrowed his brow.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHKGq5w0CA
"Yes, even dreams that seem illogical have their own set of rules. Even in dream creation, you must adhere to four fundamental principles. Let me explain, and then Jasky, please demonstrate your abilities."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqaIwmyDRD
"Got it," Jasky recorded the wisdom caterpillar's explanation in his notebook. The content was as follows:
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynNoRmMTte
dream formation Displacement:Adhere to the combination of two or more dream materials; Sleepwalkers can directly use all objects on-site as dream material, also known as Dream Alchemy.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBXYQcTddB
dream formation Condensation Follow the transmission principle; Sleepwalkers can transfer or synchronize the spirit of any memory character from their subconscious, obtaining their appearance and abilities, also known as Spiritual Disguise.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPtGihNJiI
dream formation Symbolization:Follow the transformation principle of emotional dream power; Sleepwalkers can transform dream devices into various forms based on their various emotions, also known as the Versatile Dream Device.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTzofyTiLg
dream formation Secondary Revision:Follow the principle of dream realm integration; Sleepwalkers can use the Dream Caverns and dream power to create new time and space, also known as Space-Time Creation.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw0DlOS1JV
Toosb said excitedly, "Wow, this is a bit exaggerated! The first one is like being a god of creation, the second one is playing cosplay, the third one is having a versatile tool, and the fourth one is... a... time traveler!"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsRuI03Cco
"These abilities... are a bit extreme..." but Jasky showed a smile full of excitement.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOHpxmd8FC
"My own creation of time and space... Was Time's Heart's Dream App created using Embellished Dream?" Amisa asked.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvWpWbypf7
"That's a reasonable assumption, Amisa. However, creating a dream realm requires unique dream power, and as far as I know, only Time possessed such power. Most Sleepwalkers focus on the first three principles, but that is enough to showcase their abilities."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvptgVWSrTv
"Can we choose our own system?" Jasky inquired.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAKLz0zT6L
"Unfortunately, Jasky, that's not possible. Dream creation comes from the subconscious, so it's up to the 'DREAM' within your hearts to decide."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBbDLdMsMb
"Alright! How do we awaken the 'DREAM' then?" Toosb raised his hand.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1o4WLfsBk
"It depends on your individual destiny. I can teach you knowledge, so you can face the invasion threat from the Hearts Strasbourg Fortress."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekV5fDS0dO
"Um... I have a question," Amisa raised her left hand halfway. "Can't we talk to the Queen of Hearts and find a peaceful solution?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9if5dLrCX
The wisdom caterpillar smiled gently. "Amisa, that is a noble thought. However, the situation is much more complex than it seems. The conflict between the Kingdom of Hearts and White Castle involves deep-rooted political and racial issues. The Hearts Strasbourg Fortress was built in response to the execution of the Red Queen and seeks to avenge her death. There's a history of animosity between the two kingdoms that has led to the current tense situation. While talking and finding peaceful resolutions is commendable, it may not be enough to resolve the underlying issues at hand."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40pZum4YCb
「I've heard that the Hearts Strasbourg Fortress has exceptionally well-trained poker soldiers, and that dragon, Jaberwalky, is an unprecedentedly powerful creature. They say its wingspan is 20 feet long, and its lightning breath can instantly incinerate thousands of chess soldiers," Jasky explained.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRJKZS0Ysb
"It sounds too exaggerated! It's hard to imagine..." Amisa shivered, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFhsaU7hE1
The wisdom caterpillar sighed and continued, "If Time and Alice were here, maybe they could have fought against Jabberwocky. Without the Hoelex secret organization of Sleepwalkers, we have no negotiating power. We can only gamble on the chance that you, the new Sleepwalkers, possess. When I saw you successfully complete the Five Dust Trials even amidst the negative conflicts caused by the Black Mirror, I knew that the Heart's Dream App didn't choose the wrong people."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ezWmCzJF8
"But at that time, I had a fight with Jasky, and also..." Amisa looked guilty as she glanced at Jasky's face.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6VCYe3UqK
"I don't mind it anymore," Jasky said expressionlessly.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVZGV1uWAO
"I told you! A little slap is nothing for a shy guy, hahahaha!"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t6yEwaTRJ
"Then can you let me punch you a few times?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCfjaXcrz5
"Wow, sorry!" Toosb nervously stood between Jasky and Amisa.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYJ5ONuD7T
The wise caterpillar nodded in satisfaction, "If one of you can win the championship, I believe there's a chance to change the situation. However, the Black Feather won't give up easily, and if it does turn into a war... there might be someone among us who sacrifices."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2FhDPTe7r
"Huh?" "What did you say?" "Will we die?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8W2lJ5UJQ
Everyone stopped moving, feeling tense. The wise caterpillar smiled slightly, "No one will if there's no war. You're all A-rankers now, and if you learn dream creation, the championship will be within your grasp. So, I earnestly request your assistance."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZqfXx7aPn
"Well... I've already promised the Little Teacup Princess that we'll compete for the championship together in the finals," Amisa said.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R3tbhUZ2q
"We're all in the top spot. I don't want to give up," Jasky stated.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66atHsPAFu
"Haha! I've always wanted to win the championship!" Toosb exclaimed happily.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CE1Waafgk
The widdom Caterpillar looked relieved and said, "On behalf of all the dream spirits in the collective dream realm, I express my utmost gratitude to you. However, right now, you don't possess the abilities of Sleepwalkers yet. To gain those abilities, you must obtain your own unique Dreamwalkers, not the ones given by others. These are like tokens that connect to your innermost being and can awaken the hidden DREAM within you."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPC4RWcTyZ
Amisa asked, "So where do we get these Dreamwalkers?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI3wsrshl7
"Head to the White Castle Royal Chef, Mr. Bagel Recipe. He is also the Dreamwalker maker. You need to go find him and have your crystal balls made into Dreamwalkers, which are essential materials for crafting them."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg9Jtggl7G
The three of them picked up their crystal balls and inspected them. The wise caterpillar continued, "The Eiffel Cake Tower is located at the very end of the Macaron Dessert Market. You can follow the path through the noble residential area and back to the tablecloth patchwork street to find the entrance to the Macaron Dessert Market. Once you get your Dreamwalkers, Mr. Bagel Recipe will teach you how to use them."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrScGt9FgkU
"Great! Amisa, Shy Guy, let's go!" Toosb exclaimed eagerly.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSINPICdOG
"Wait a moment!" Amisa pointed to her throat. "widsom caterpillar, I'll be continuing to participate in the talent competition here, and my singing is essential. I need to know how to restore my voice."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vJWQDDzM6
The wise caterpillar nodded and said, "Don't worry, Amisa. I haven't forgotten about your problem. I have some information about your voice loss from the mentor group, but it's not something common. I need more time to research it. However, don't fret; I've prepared a temporary solution for you~" The wise caterpillar handed Amisa a heart-shaped pendant, and she accepted it gratefully.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s6hF9KYFO
"This pendant stores some of my dream power. As long as you wear it, you can use dream power to project your voice, just like now," the wise caterpillar explained.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPrd41cBWA
"Really?" Amisa was thrilled as she put on the pendant. The wise caterpillar added, "However, this is only temporary. Dream power will deplete eventually. You must obtain your Dreamwalker and learn how to use dream power transmission as soon as possible, at least until I find out the cause."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v6DjWxKUF
"Thank you, wisdom caterpillar!" Amisa bowed deeply.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4IjkgYC2P
"Now, what about this thing?" Jasky pointed at the Black Mirror.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavRilQ5A54
The wise caterpillar pondered for a moment and then looked at Amisa. "Amisa, where did you find it?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxJye7LNri
"In the commoner's... a certain church..."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7rDlXcbh6
"The Notre Lait Gâteau Cathedral? You might have to take it back and seal it there," the wise caterpillar said.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MAgaKWBo2
Amisa first froze, and then her face turned pale. "What? No way! Are you trying to get me killed?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVQZAaOZTw
"Rest assured!" The wise caterpillar pointed at Amisa's smartphone. "The Heart's Dream App has Time's time dream power left behind. I used my dream power transmission to temporarily suppress the Black Mirror's command. But my dream power is limited. You must get your Dreamwalker first and then seal it back at the cathedral before going to the fortress."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OqEbmAplt
"Why not seal it back at the cathedral first and then go to the castle?" Toosb asked.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbwvs3Dvk7
"There have been recent reports of kidnappings within the White Castle. If the Black Feather is inside, they might take advantage and steal the Black Mirror. The consequences would be unimaginable. Before you go back to the cathedral, you need to have the strength to resist them. In any case, wait until you have your Dreamwalkers," the wise caterpillar advised.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrLVuGIBso
The wise caterpillar resealed the Black Mirror and handed it back to Amisa, assuring her that everything was fine. With a determined look, Amisa placed the sealed Black Mirror in her pocket and said, "I will win the championship."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJRLNMWwHg
"I'll do my best!" Toosb said cheerfully.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6lMlRDTur
"If everything goes smoothly," Jasky replied with a blank expression.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfjjmmD95s
"Just believe that everything will go smoothly," the wise caterpillar said, waving its water pipe and opening the door of the bookcase. "I wish you all the best."
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZuOP7ixLo
The three of them were enveloped in a beam of light and, when they regained their senses, they were at the entrance counter of Maslow's Dream Bookstore.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4OO1bBhbT
The manager, David, stood in front of them and asked warmly, "Welcome to Maslow's Dream Bookstore. I'm David. We have sections for the Kingdom's history, dream power learning, codes and regulations, and everyday applications. Which category of books are you looking for?"
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBspfAxI7im
"Oh! We're leaving now, hahaha!" Toosb laughed happily.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeIJ8sVlZY
"Yes, everything's fine now!" Though it wasn't her own voice, Amisa was delighted to be able to speak.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFvEFJGghE
The three of them gained a whole new understanding of the collective dream realm, and now they were about to embark on their heartdream mission as dreamwalkers in this new identity.
