As I slept, I woke up in my dreams.
Ah, now that I am a Daydreaming Dragon, I guess I can travel through dreams even easily.
I found myself floating in the middle of a beautiful starlight sky. Was I in some kind of dream imitating space itself?
I looked everywhere, and there was just an endless and beautiful cosmos.
Stars everywhere the eye could see, nebulas, and passing comets of brightly colored tails.I began to dive through the endless cosmos, as I suddenly found somewhere else within it.
Huh? A beautiful, blue-skinned ice giant girl… Of course, how can I not recognize her?
"Benladann? Is that really you?"
I wondered if it was her because this could be the fabrication of a dream.
I checked her a bit, and it was indeed her, her soul flowed strongly from within her.
"Drake? Am I dreaming? This is the first time I dream of something so vividly and lucidly… I usually am in a daze when I dream…" she said.
"Y-Yeah, sorry about that, it's my dream, I think you mixed on it because we sleep too close with one another," I said."Ooh… That's cool! I've never seen the dreams of another person before…" said Benladann.
"You don't mind?"
"If you don't mind, I don't mind." She said cutely.
"Alright then my princess, come with me," I said rather gallantly, as I extended my hand towards her, and she held it.
"Hehe, it's funny when you act gallantly…" she chuckled.
"Geh… I-It wasn't a joke…" I sighed.
"Oh… Sorry, it is still charming…" she said.
"I guess you can say that." I laughed.
We flew around this cosmos-like dream, as we traveled towards the nearest nebula. It was blue and azure-colored, floating majestically across the vastness of this imaginary universe.
"So beautiful… I have never traveled to space before." Said Benladann.
"Me neither, but in dreams, you can do anything you want… Anything on mind?" I asked, as I shaped the nebula into a couch and we both sat over it.
"Ooh, fancy…" she chuckled.
She sat at my side and rested her head over my shoulder.
"Hmm… I don't know… Oh! I know." She said.
"What is it?"
"I have never seen how you looked in your previous life… Can I see it? You said we can do anything." She said.
Ah… That caught me off guard.
Ugh, this is a bit embarrassing now…
I wasn't particularly the prettiest guy back then, nor anything special…
She'll see how pathetic I was… Ahh…
This is indeed embarrassing.
But if she loves me… then I guess she won't mind it too much?
I hope…
"Okay, but… promise me that you won't judge me based on how I used to be…" I sighed.
"Oh… S-Sure… I would never do such a thing…" she said, holding my hand.
"T-Then let's go…"
I waved my hand, as a dream portal emerged. I shaped a new dream based on my memories of my previous life at random, and we hopped inside of it.
Here we go then…
…
When I opened my eyes once more, I found myself inside my room.
Hm?
And I was… me?
I looked exactly like my previous life self.
And where's Benladann?
She's nowhere?
EH?!
"Benladann?! Where are you?!"
I began to walk around my room. It wasn't messy because I was obsessed with cleaning, so at the very least it could be said I was proud of having a cleanroom.
Ah…
I stopped midway through as I admired it for a bit.
It has… really been a while.
How long now? Half a year since I died?
It feels so long… like years.
I went around the bookshelves, as I found my books… My manga, light novels, and so on.
I grabbed them and began to read them
All the pages were there?!
I guess they are all the ones I've read.
Those I left without reading… Yep, they were empty inside.
Sigh…
There was the TV and the Game consoles… Switch, Play Station, Xbox… The games were there.
Oh… I wish I could just sit once more and just enjoy a nice playthrough in one of my favorite games for a change of pace.
Ah. But Benladann! Where is she?
I walked into the next room, as I heard someone's voice.
Someone very familiar… which I had not seen in a long time.
"Big brother?"
"…"
My sister…
She's… just a dream, I shouldn't get emotional or anything.
But I guess… It's not bad to greet her, right?
"S-Sister… how are you?"
"Hm? I'm good… You got out early. Ready to go out?"
"To go out?"
"Yeah, you promised me we were going skiing!"
"Ah… No, wait… I can't…"
"But you promised me!"
"…But I will die."
"Die? You won't die! It is just skiing, stop being so timid and come hang out with my kids, let's have a nice time together… How long has it been since we went out like sister and brother?" she sighed.
She looked at me with her beautiful aquamarine eyes.
Ugh… I am weak to those eyes.
"Fine…"
"Alright then! Come pack up things with us!"
She held my hand and led me to the living room, where I greeted her husband and her kids. They were all there… I also kind of miss them. I saw her two kids grow up since they were babies, I took care of them for several days, so I guess I am a good uncle for them… I like to gift them games too. Well… I liked.
"Ready for its buddy?"
And her husband, she was a childhood friend of hers. A good guy. He used to be a timid nerd back then, but she chose him over other guys because of his honesty.
"Yeah, let's have some fun."
"That's the spirit man."
I wonder if I could… see my parents or my big brother.
"Let's go!"
"W-What about mom and dad?"
"Don't you remember? They went into a resort."
"Oh right…"
We went into her car, and we moved into the mountains after some time.
It all felt so real.
I wonder… am I really dreaming?
