   After reading the first chapter, I was once again moved by the magic of a novel that can depict the world with just a single paragraph. Therefore, I immediately finished reading the first chapter and added it to my reading list (I feel a sense of loss after being away from the scenes in the book for a while). I've finished watching it; it took about two or three hours. Helpful tip: I suggest allowing enough time to watch it all in one go. The following is a one-sentence tweet: Dream, dream, dream. This is the chapter on dreams in an article, where the dreamer's dream is followed by the awakening of the dreamer.
