Chatty Hollywood

In the real world where Charlotte lives, dreams are actually chaotic and weird, and there is no clear concept of layering.

But in the world of "Inception", dreams are layered.

The deeper the dream, the faster time flows inside.

The mutual influence of these two rules makes the situation faced by Charlotte even more complicated than in "Inception".

And this is why Charlotte is worried that she may be trapped in a dream.

However, because she has subdued nightmares and is good at dream-related spells, Charlotte's first level of dreams is still completely controllable.

——Charlotte had expected this before.

Therefore, he simply controlled the first level of dreamland and turned it into a seemingly infinite space with nothing but a sofa.

Charlotte sat on the sofa and continued to enter the second level of dreamland.

Of course, just like in the movie, just in case, Charlotte also placed a person in the first dream to wake him up.

——This time it was Alexis.

"You can also wake me up with a passionate kiss..."

Charlotte originally wanted to joke like this, but gave up in the end.

After he briefly talked to Miss Valkyrie about some things to pay attention to, he entered the second level of dreamland——

This second level of dreams is no longer controllable by Charlotte.

Here, he seems to be a wizard with boundless power and wealth.

In this world, he can do whatever he wants.

"If I weren't so interested in this area, this would really be a good dream!"

As someone who often manipulates dreams to deceive people and even ghosts, Charlotte will naturally not be deceived by this simple dream.

However, he also realized that this second layer of dreams seemed to be an illusion of his deepest desires.

"So what's next? After power and money?"

Charlotte said to herself,

"Is she a beauty? A vulgar person like me should see a beauty, right?"

Thinking like this, the second layer of dreams disappeared in front of Charlotte, and the third layer of dreams was revealed in front of his eyes——

"She is indeed a beauty!"

Charlotte whistled.

In this layer of dreamland, Charlotte is basking in the sun on a beautiful island.

The fresh sea breeze with a salty taste blows in, and the water is blue and clear, and you can clearly see the fish and beautiful corals in the water.

The beach is as white as jade.

The most important thing is that on this beautiful beach, there are countless beauties in bikinis surrounding Charlotte——

"Sally, Alexis, even Judy and Rachel are here!"

Charlotte counted them one by one,

"That tall guy over there is Nicole Kidman, right? But what's going on with those girls next to her?"

Charlotte thought about it for a long time before recalling that they were several young girls he had seen when he was auditioning for actors before -

"The fact that I can remember them means that I subconsciously think they are more beautiful, so I remember them deeply, right?"

Charlotte is analyzing herself like this.

In fact, many of the girls who appear in the third level of dreams have only met Charlotte a few times.

In response, Charlotte could only shrug.

"It seems that although I have chosen to be a good man in reality, deep down in my heart I still have the dream of a harem and the King of Fire!"

Charlotte thought to herself.

*******

If you are a gentleman, then when faced with this third level of dreams, you should show no mercy;

If it is the true King of Fire Buns, then 80% of the time it will be a feast and a barrage of fire;

However, Charlotte is neither—

He withdrew a trace of his consciousness, transformed into a clone, and stayed in the third-level dream to enjoy it. However, his true consciousness began to explore the fourth-level dream.

"This is equivalent to leaving a mark on the third level of dreams, so that I can follow the path back and avoid getting lost."

——This is Charlotte’s reason or excuse.

As for what it is, it depends on the beholder and the wise.

Anyway, while exploring the fourth layer of dreams, Charlotte could vaguely feel the tingling pleasure from the third layer of dreams...

"I wonder who brought me this feeling?"

Charlotte guessed in her mind.

Of course, as long as he is willing and communicates with the clone, he can still know this.

However, in this case, it is very likely that he will destroy the fourth level of dreams...

This fourth level of dreams is still the desire from Charlotte.

However, unlike the previous two levels of dreams, which were dominated by worldly desires, in this level of dreams, what unfolded in front of Charlotte was a world full of spiritual energy.

"In the ancient times, when there was enough spiritual energy, it was like this, right?"

Charlotte sighed.

As a person obsessed with magic, he really wanted to live and practice in such a world if possible.

"If I were to travel to such a world from the beginning, I would be happy and unhappy, right?"

However, now in the outside world, Charlotte already has a daughter, a wife who loves him, and her own career, but he cannot let go of these.

What's more, the tingling feeling that came from his body from time to time also made him realize that this was still a dream.

"However, the impact of dreams is becoming more and more obvious!"

——Charlotte could feel that at this level, his consciousness was no longer so clear.

This is different from the situation in "Inception" where Cobb and his wife Mel were trapped in a dream and couldn't get out——

In that case, to a greater extent, it is knowing that you are dreaming but you can't find a way out.

And Charlotte felt that if he continued to explore, he would probably encounter a situation where he would gradually forget his memory.

——That way, in the end, it is very likely that he will not remember that he was dreaming at all.

"However, only dreaming if you don't know you are dreaming can be considered a real dream!"

Charlotte thought helplessly,

"I don't know if the various backtracking and wake-up methods I prepared will still work when that time comes - but if I want to go back through the memory of that moment and figure out what happened, I'm afraid I have to take a risk. Got it!"

Of course, this risk is relative.

For Charlotte, he would not do anything that he was not sure of.

However, he did not expect that when he stepped into the fifth level of dreamland, what he saw was an extremely ordinary scene——

"Is this the apartment I rented before I traveled through time!?"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling above her head, Charlotte couldn't help but feel like she had traveled back in time.

However--

"What does time travel mean? Are you reading those online novels again!?"

A slightly transparent ghost that looked like a little old man suddenly appeared in front of Charlotte——

"Old ghost!!?"
