One Dream For Every Night

Thinking about the infinite responsibilities of life and the passion for sketching from childhood, Mr. A eventually drifted into a deep sleep.

**Dream Sequence:**

In the dream, a significant battle unfolded between two teenagers. One wore a cap with 'Responsibilities of Life' (ROL) inscribed on its visor, and the other had 'Desire for Passion' (DOP). ROL, holding a spear with 'RESPONSIBILITIES' inscribed on it, chased after a frightened DOP. In the heat of the moment, ROL threw the spear at DOP, hitting hard in the chest.

DOP: You idiot! You hit me with a spear! Life may be beautiful for others, but mine is ridiculously idiotic.

ROL (smirking): Well, it symbolizes responsibilities, and after all, I am Life.

DOP: But this is a spear, you moron! Plus, you wrote 'RESPONSIBILITIES' on a physical spear and struck me with it.

ROL: Those are inconsequential details. There's something we can agree on, though.

DOP (frustrated): Do you think this is the time for agreements with life? But go on, tell me what I'm supposed to agree with you about. My whole life has been compromises.

ROL: Yet, it's relatable, my dear DOP.

DOP: Life, look at me. Remember, I was once a part of you, or rather, we were both part of Mr. A since his birth. You discarded me to blindly follow society's path and enjoy useless luxuries. You threw me out of your mind but failed to rid me from your heart and soul.

I don't understand why I was made immortal. Neither Mr. A nor you want me in your life. Why strip me out of your mechanism, only to throw me into isolation? Is it my fault that I breathe only in free spaces, unlike you thriving in confined environments? Suffocation has choked me to unconsciousness, a sensation similar to the gas tragedy in our birth year. Don't you remember all that? Whenever you practiced me to resist your sadness, I brought happiness, calmness, and satisfaction. I've always delivered joy and cheerfulness that no luxury could match.

ROL: God works in mysterious ways, my old friend. No lectures on philosophy right now. Just say it was relatable!

DOP: My chest is hurting, life!

ROL: Say you liked it, that this piercing brought you pleasure!

As Mr. A woke up to an alarm, he went straight to the kitchen for a cup of green tea, reflecting on the dream.

**A Fun Dream Sequence of Mr. A:**

**Timeline:** Just before waking up in the morning.

A shining light from infinity entered the room through the curtains.

God: Congratulations on completing this four-hour journey of sleep, my dear son.

A: Thank you, God. Where's my reward?

God: Choose one of these three magical objects. The first is a cup that never runs out of tea.

A: I'll take that one.

God: But you haven't heard about the others.

A: I'm good with the first one.

God: What about this hammer emitting fire and water, or this third one that can...

A: Just give me the cup.

God: As you wish.

After a sip from the cup:

A: Green tea. Well, never mind.
