Chapter 182 - Dream And Reality Again?!!

Even though they got swept away after hearing he can cure their master and mistress, but after coming to their senses they realised they can't just let anyone touch the demonic flower and let him do anything with it.

So they brought him back to their master's room and asked how he was planning to cure his masters.

Even though Aryan didn't want to reveal it he somewhat hunted them about his powers and said, "I can make nothing to anything and anything to nothing."

Alisa "…"

Ricky "…"

Sebes "…"

His third class villain dialogue hit him hard and they became flabbergasted for some minutes. Seeing no one was responding to his reply Aryan coughed up and rephrased his word in a better way, "Big sis Alisa, I can change the impossible to possible and change the possible to impossible."

Alisa "…"

Ricky "…"

Sebes "…"

This time they again got flabbergasted after listening to his third class villain riddle. Ricky wanted to tell something at that moment but he kept his shut and waited for someone to open his mouth.

This time seeing no one was opening their mouths, Sebes spoke up and asked, "Lil Sen, can you tell us in detail, what do you want to say?"

"Sigh~~~~ Mr Sebes I can't in more detail now, either you try to understand the riddles or let me do my work."

Sebes knitted his eyebrows and went into a deep contemplation. Alisa and Ricky too were thinking about it, but no matter how they interpret they can't tell anything out of it, apart from the statement that it's a third class, lame dialogue and nothing else.

After pondering over it for some time Sebes began to mutter something and try to decode it from the very beginning.

"So, you saying you can make anything out of nothing~~~ Here nothing implies air and anything literally means anything. You can change impossible to possible?! That's the same as making anything out of nothing~~!! Then does that mean you can materialise anything out of thin air?" Sebes asked with curiosity.

"Something like that," he replied with some modesty and asked them to check out his capability.

Both Alisa and Sebes felt somewhat weird since they didn't know what to ask him for a test. Amidst their thinking Ricky came off with something and asked "Can you make my stone-age playing set again?"

"Sure, take me there."

Alisa "…"

Ricky "…"

Sebes "…"

None of them had thought he would agree that easily. Even for a giant with their large pool of magic it takes them week to a month to make that playing set. But Sen~~~~ Agreed within a second.

Without any delay they took him to the place where the big crystal ball exploded itself, burning down Ricky's entire set up.

"Mhm…. Please stay behind," asked Aryan. And began to mobilise every ounce of energy in his body. His mental energy was getting accumulated in his forehead, and converting itself into a higher purity energy.

While his sage energy was accumulating in his heart, creating a reaction around it.

Aryan was almost ready to cast a mega scale magic when everything became black and he fainted down on the floor.

"O' the chosen one~~~~"

"Chosen one open your eyes~~~"

"O' the chosen one~~~~"

"Chosen one open your eyes~~~"

"O' the chosen one~~~~"

"Chosen one open your eyes~~~"

Hearing the echoing of the voices Aryan opened his eyes. Like all the time, this time too, he found himself in a dark space, with an unknown timeline.

"Sigh~~~ I am a regular here, I think."

While he was pondering about what he will face this time various sounds began to reverberate around.

A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, although they have been a topic of philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history. Dream interpretation is the attempt at drawing meaning from dreams and searching for an underlying message. The scientific study of dreams in the new era of cultivation is called oneirology.

An illusion is a distortion of the senses, which can reveal how the human brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. Though illusions distort our perception of reality, they are generally shared by most people.

Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye-movement stage of sleep when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. Dreams tend to be much less vivid or memorable. The length of a dream can vary, they may last for a few seconds, or even for hours and days.

Illusions may occur with any of the human senses, but visual illusions (optical illusions) are the best-known and understood. The emphasis on visual illusions occurs because vision often dominates the other senses.

One more interesting thing about dreams is that even though the dreaming person has a good memory most dreams are immediately or quickly forgotten.

Dreams tend to last longer as the night progresses.

Opinions about the meaning of dreams have varied and shifted through time and culture. Many endorse the Freudian theory of dreams – that dreams reveal insight into hidden desires and emotions.[qualify evidence]

Illusions are of various types. And some of them are visual, auditory, sensual, and magical.

A visual illusion or optical illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that are deceptive or misleading. Therefore, the information gathered by the visual sense is processed to give, on the face of it, a percept that does not tally with information from other senses or physical measurements.

A conventional assumption is that there are physiological illusions that occur naturally and cognitive illusions that can be demonstrated by specific visual tricks that say something more basic about how human perceptual systems work.

Other prominent theories include those suggesting that dreams assist in memory formation, problem-solving, or simply are a product of random brain activation.

From the ancient times there is an explanation of dreams as manifestations of one's deepest desires and anxieties, often relating to repressed childhood memories or obsessions.

The events in dreams are generally outside the control of the dreamer, with the exception of lucid dreaming, where the dreamer is self-aware. Dreams can at times make a creative thought occur to the person or give a sense of inspiration.

The visual system (eye and brain) constructs a world inside our head based on what it samples from the surrounding environment. However, sometimes it tries to organize this information "it thinks best" while other times it fills in the gaps. This way in which our brain works is the basis of an illusion.

An auditory illusion is an illusion of hearing, the auditory equivalent of a visual illusion: the listener hears either sounds which are not present in the stimulus, or "impossible" sounds. In short, audio illusions highlight areas where the human ear and brain, as organic, makeshift tools, differ from perfect audio receptors.

Magical illusion, something that is created by magic. 

Distinguishing between magical illusion and reality has always been in hard tasks for cultivators. If you felt for it, then you are destined to see the worse.

Illusions can occur with the other senses too.

Both sound and touch have been shown to modulate the perceived staleness and crispness of food products. It was also discovered that even if some portion of the taste receptor on the tongue became damaged that illusory taste could be produced by tactile stimulation.

Evidence of olfactory (smell) illusions occurred when positive or negative verbal labels were given prior to olfactory stimulation.

The Rukh effect shows that what we hear is influenced by what we see as we hear the person speaking. An illusion occurs when the auditory component of one sound is paired with the visual component of another sound, leading to the perception of a third sound. This is a multisensory, auditory-visual illusion.

Aryan "…."

After speaking about the mixed up theories about dream and reality, the four voices stopped and let Aryan think about it.

Meanwhile instead of hearing it full Aryan heard only a part of it and remembered something from his past world. While he was in his old world, and was sleeping behind a rock before the ancient ghost penguin came near that giant tree he heard the same things reverberating in his dream. But at that time the terms of dream and illusion were arranged in a proper way, not mixed up like this one.

And the most important thing out of all, 'Why in the world I am hearing this, right now? And that too here!! Out of all places?! In the sage world!!'

Another thing he couldn't understand was why in the world he heard this once in his old world. Listening to the terms explained in the reverberations he was pretty sure it belonged to his old world. "Then why here?" Aryan questioned himself.

Last time he knew the seven sages were somehow keeping an eye on him, but here, no one was keeping an eye on him.

'Then who are the owners of these voices?' thought Aryan.

But like every time, he was clueless this time.
