Smt abt my mysterious dream…….

Ater a week of tackling countless summatives (math and econ mostly), navigating complex relationships, and attending numerous activities and rehearsals. I feel utterly exhausted. All of these experiences have left me with much to ponder, including thoughts about myself, my friends, and my future.

Finally, on Saturday night, I was suffocated by the darkness. It was so dark that I could barely see anything. So I started to reflect on my weekly life, just like reviewing a self-produced movie in which I was the woefully inadequate director…..

OK ~ A  wide, beaming smile from Chloe and… ACTION!A great mood-swing movie should take you on a journey to reach the climax. Like……

I was elated to buy a corn cheese hotdog from the school café without the usual 15-minute wait. I was pleased to see the café had added a new yogurt ice cream for just 10 yuan—its crispy cone was delightful. And I felt blessed when I saw the smiling faces of my three teachers' dogs, tongues lolling out in the mildly warm yet still comfortable weather. No class means I can lie in the center of a grassy circle, listening to the joyful laughter of my dear friends while feeling the passage of time and the space surrounding me. However, these moments serve as a brief recharge amidst my hectic schedule.  I still have numerous deadlines looming, projects stalled mid-progress, and the urgent need to swiftly recalibrate myself to face the upcoming week.

Well, the movie stops here—I think it's time for me to sleep. No matter what's happening outside, the pillow, the Hello Kitty, and soft bed will always be my steadfast companions.

With that thought, I slowly drift off to my dream…. In the dream, I find myself seated at my desk, poised to tackle the math end-of-year test. "Focus, and take a deep breath," I remind myself.

Suddenly, the atmosphere shifts dramatically. Almost everyone around me turns various shades of blue, each person a different saturation. Some aren't just pale; they're almost transparent, yet outlined clearly. Upon closer inspection, they resemble water more than air. It feels as if slicing through them would be like a fish darting swiftly through water. Glancing down, I notice that water flows through me as well, instilling a sense of peace. I attempt to interact with my surroundings—grabbing a pen, flipping a page, and even jumping—to find that I can still perform all these actions amidst the watery haze enveloping me. Why is this happening? Why are some people unchanged, their forms solid and visible, while others nearly vanish, allowing anyone to pass through unnoticed? Can others see this surreal scene?

As I ponder deeper, I notice my own body becoming less iridescent, its color saturation diminishing... WAIT?! Just as I reel from the surprise, the teacher begins distributing the test papers. "Thank you," I murmur, and she smiles back, confirming she can still see me. Relieved, I dive into the test.

When the bell signals the end of the test, I realize I've become completely transparent, and the vividness of those around me has also faded. After about ten seconds, everything snaps back to normal—as if none of it had happened. NOOOO! It can't be nothing... How is this even possible? Am I dreaming? I mean, its possible to dreaming in a dream right? Is this a superpower? Should I discuss this with my best friend?

As these thoughts swirl, I find myself once again in that water-blue world. This time, I walk around and observe: the teacher grading papers appears nearly transparent; my deskmate, engrossed in her English homework and listening to music through her AirPods, is about 50% transparent; a boy in the back plays on his Switch, almost unchanged; a group of girls gossiping are only 20% transparent. I realize that the more one ruminates, the more transparent they become, and only those deeply immersed in thought can gauge the concentration levels of everyone around them, as long as they focus first.
