Part 8. The Sleepwalker 's ability to create dreams.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGc6ReTFSF
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkoY7tTSeL
Amisa asked, "What does 'DREAM' mean?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifWbBD5ZyT
"'DREAM' is the awakened dream power, which is the imagination of a Sleepwalker," the wisdom caterpillar explained.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3DKbPnSRD
Jasky took out his personal notebook. "I see. So, the Eye-See-Heart Key from the First Dust is about stimulating imagination?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6OKoQs7hk
"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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQzJMTFVSb
"Oh! It's like being a god of creation!" Toosb said excitedly.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFfhBZkkNA
"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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLT8wTR8ux
"Do we also need to follow rules when creating dreams?" Jasky furrowed his brow.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiODfMtlZY
"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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzrQvxirdv
"Got it," Jasky recorded the wisdom caterpillar's explanation in his notebook. The content was as follows:
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzgDYiETMk
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW7Qx65bN2
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZCdrbnx3u
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9XMNDC7Rh
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AoeUwIjuO
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!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JAzvkbmOX
"These abilities... are a bit extreme..." but Jasky showed a smile full of excitement.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIoux1kt1H
"My own creation of time and space... Was Time's Heart's Dream App created using Embellished Dream?" Amisa asked.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX33vZkFp2
"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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiI4INAXjs
"Can we choose our own system?" Jasky inquired.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAER6lKTuV
"Unfortunately, Jasky, that's not possible. Dream creation comes from the subconscious, so it's up to the 'DREAM' within your hearts to decide."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wKdU9zYvK
"Alright! How do we awaken the 'DREAM' then?" Toosb raised his hand.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ds1OxOagt
"It depends on your individual destiny. I can teach you knowledge, so you can face the invasion threat from the Hearts Strasbourg Fortress."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCI4aLsR4L
"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?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn3ZRehdSu
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjnA3eagml
「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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa68isas0Q
"It sounds too exaggerated! It's hard to imagine..." Amisa shivered, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7yutlAOAr
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK4kcL5NjR
"But at that time, I had a fight with Jasky, and also..." Amisa looked guilty as she glanced at Jasky's face.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHSGGRFNPb
"I don't mind it anymore," Jasky said expressionlessly.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNH5SZADH1
"I told you! A little slap is nothing for a shy guy, hahahaha!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD3U2I89uN
"Then can you let me punch you a few times?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ628auEDAqN
"Wow, sorry!" Toosb nervously stood between Jasky and Amisa.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET55Om3zPE
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgt7b6MuCv
"Huh?" "What did you say?" "Will we die?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupsQ3ikLX2
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZuTrmhnhP
"Well... I've already promised the Little Teacup Princess that we'll compete for the championship together in the finals," Amisa said.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NpG99zEhD
"We're all in the top spot. I don't want to give up," Jasky stated.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3YhERWspg
"Haha! I've always wanted to win the championship!" Toosb exclaimed happily.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyg5w9eHOe
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BfyHtcqEp
Amisa asked, "So where do we get these Dreamwalkers?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclJgjNFwM0
"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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZH8kqaAhH
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwucUU3apeg
"Great! Amisa, Shy Guy, let's go!" Toosb exclaimed eagerly.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDtoYhcqbe
"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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRkkxI8BwA
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgyy5fbqJf
"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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK1hvBiswb
"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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwpq6gkYKV
"Thank you, wisdom caterpillar!" Amisa bowed deeply.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZLy0wN3KT
"Now, what about this thing?" Jasky pointed at the Black Mirror.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIETxoewPq
The wise caterpillar pondered for a moment and then looked at Amisa. "Amisa, where did you find it?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr3Em1N5lT
"In the commoner's... a certain church..."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp1akSe2Pi
"The Notre Lait Gâteau Cathedral? You might have to take it back and seal it there," the wise caterpillar said.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqHWNEOLpm
Amisa first froze, and then her face turned pale. "What? No way! Are you trying to get me killed?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIghqPmCpW9
"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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ZdVbRa0V
"Why not seal it back at the cathedral first and then go to the castle?" Toosb asked.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PvplHkTn3
"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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTyYR3mlmI
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRJlrooP21
"I'll do my best!" Toosb said cheerfully.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8NbWEM9Cc
"If everything goes smoothly," Jasky replied with a blank expression.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wBJAp7XBH
"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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vtARRV56T
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7utPVkdLaj
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?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstC8NrNOK9
"Oh! We're leaving now, hahaha!" Toosb laughed happily.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnFA22FADY
"Yes, everything's fine now!" Though it wasn't her own voice, Amisa was delighted to be able to speak.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlMTI4nhns
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.
