This time, Old Xia's dreamland was guided by the fear generated by the eight-armed, eight-eyed wood carving, which she and Xiang Kun had agreed upon before bedtime.
The purpose of their experiment was to see if merging dreams with other people had any direct relation to the emotionally imbued object that induced the original dream.
Due to the emotional infusion capabilities of the "eight-armed, eight-eyed wood carving," Xiang Kun typically would not use it to guide others into dreams. However, following Old Xia's request and knowing her ability to "wake up" within dreams to exert control through the projection of super-connected objects, he let the wood carving induce Old Xia's dream.
As it turned out, Old Xia indeed successfully managed to control her dreams. Despite being affected by fear, she was able to counteract and dissolve it by leveraging the emotions projected onto the chopsticks introduced by Xiang Kun.
