A Thousand-Year Dream

[Twists, more twists, and yet more twists! Mystery, horror, transmigration, fantasy... it's all here!]

One dream, and three autumns have passed.

Dreams:

Yesterday's scenes seem like a lifetime ago;

Here and now, everything may be real or false;

The years ahead lie in ruin. A sigh: the dreamer wakes, but the person does not.

One might say:

A great dream spanning three thousand years. Let joy and sorrow pass through your heart, but cling to nothing!
