Taking a Vacation from Cultivation

After submitting my application for a long time, I finally received a reply. “Dear invitee, thank you for your interest in our project. You are about to take part in an interview. To protect your privacy, we will use codenames from here on. Your codename is: Reader.” “Hello, Reader. There’s no need to be nervous. I just have a few simple questions for you.” “Okay. All right. Phew…” “Do you dream often? Do you ever have pleasant dreams or nightmares?” “…” “Do you find dreaming interesting?” “…” “Is there a particular dream you keep thinking about after you wake up?” “…” “If real life makes you feel exhausted, do you long for the world of your dreams?” “…” “Do you think the things you experience in dreams can leave traces in reality?” “…” “In your opinion, can dreams really change a person?” “…” “If a dream felt every bit as real as reality, would you want to stay in that world for a long time?” “…” “One last question: between dreams and reality, which one is the real you?” “…” “All right, thank you for sharing. Please don’t feel pressured. This experience has a special setup and requires two people to enter together. Enjoy it. Your companion’s codename is: Author.”
